"The lawsuit was brought by 40-year-old Shawna Jimenez of Colorado Springs, who says she was injured in a car crash in 2004. She says she was pressured take a settlement of $25,000. El Paso County jurors acquitted Azar's firm and one of his attorneys of theft and false advertising but found them guilty of negligence and misrepresentation. Azar says he will appeal."
