Hurricane Irma’s winds knocked a tree onto Fort Lauderdale lawyer Laurence Gore’s car, ripped the top off of his boat, and decimated many of the travel businesses in the Caribbean that have been his clients.
While Gore is lucky, considering Hurricane Irma claimed 42 lives and decimated the homes and livelihoods of many across the eastern Caribbean and Florida, the hurricane has taken a toll on his law practice. Like other small law firm owners in South Florida, his firm’s revenue and collections for the year have taken a hit because of the hurricane.
