DefamationSETTLED — $15 Million

$15,000,000

Trump v. ABC News / George Stephanopoulos

1:24-cv-21050 · S.D. Florida · 2024

In 2024, ABC News agreed to a $15 million settlement after anchor George Stephanopoulos repeatedly stated on air that Donald Trump had been found liable for rape — a legally false characterization of the jury verdict in the E. Jean Carroll civil case. Brito PLLC attorney Alejandro Brito filed suit in the Southern District of Florida, survived a motion to dismiss before Judge Cecilia Altonaga, and fought to secure one of the largest defamation settlements in recent memory — plus $1 million in attorney's fees paid directly to the firm.

Brito PLLC drove the $100 million case through a denied motion to dismiss and to mediation, securing what Alejandro Brito described as "a full-throated apology — not the standard language we see in a lot of these cases."

3:25-cv-00711 · District of Connecticut · 2025

Judge Sarah Russell denied the motion to dismiss in Dr. Carlon Colker's defamation suit against attorney Ann Callis, who had publicly stated Colker violated ethical and medical standards while treating Janel Grant in the Vince McMahon/WWE litigation.

The case proceeds to discovery.

Brito PLLC is fantastic. I worked with Cecilia Miranda, who was not only extremely knowledgeable about the nuances of my situation, she also was able to educate me on things I didn't even know were occurring and was able to direct me in the best way possible. They are a highly motivated and dedicated firm, always staying in contact with me and answered all my questions efficiently and competently. Highly recommend!

If there were more stars to give, Alejandro Brito certainly deserves it. Throughout the years, I've used numerous lawyers. Someone recommended Brito and I had the pleasure of meeting him... Immediately I felt as if he's serious, honest, responsible and very family-like, with incredible principles, that not all lawyers have. Alejandro has represented me in important cases where we were against many lawyers — he was the only one the judge paid attention to, due to his transparency and the image he reflects. Definitely he is the best and I recommend him to any and all business owners.
