Joseph M. Kaye

Joey Kaye is a Partner at The Moskowitz Law Firm, where he represents consumers, businesses, and plaintiffs nationwide in high-stakes class actions, complex commercial disputes, and multidistrict litigation.

Joey’s practice focuses on uncovering and challenging corporate misconduct—particularly in the areas of consumer protection, cryptocurrency fraud, deceptive business practices, and mass harms. He has litigated and helped resolve a wide range of disputes involving securities violations, insurance and investment fraud, construction defects, antitrust, product liability, and mass torts, frequently through coordinated nationwide litigation.

He currently serves on the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee and as Co-Chair of the Briefing Committee in the landmark multidistrict litigation arising out of the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Joey also plays a key role in putative nationwide class actions against Voyager Digital and Binance, and was appointed class counsel in a global $11 million settlement in Harper v. Shaquille O’Neal, et al., which resolved securities claims on behalf of crypto-asset purchasers allegedly misled by celebrity endorsements.

Joey has secured victories in some of the most widely reported class actions in Florida and the country. These include:

• Champlain Towers South Collapse Litigation – Represented victims and families in the tragic Surfside condo collapse, contributing to a historic $1.2 billion settlement—the largest construction-related class action recovery in U.S. history.
• Spartan Race Fee Litigation – Secured final approval of a $25.6 million nationwide settlement on behalf of consumers wrongfully charged an undisclosed insurance fee in connection with race registration.
• Prevagen False Advertising Class Action – Helped achieve a nationwide settlement providing partial refunds to up to 3 million buyers and placing new restrictions on the marketing of a memory supplement.
• Infratech v. Las Olas Co. – Helped obtain a landmark appellate decision affirming the certification of a liability issue class after contractors ruptured a water main, followed by a jury verdict assigning 98% fault to the defendant and a class settlement with damages and injunctive relief.

Joey has also been instrumental in shaping favorable legal precedent for plaintiffs. In Cherry v. Dometic, he was part of the team that overturned the “administrative feasibility” requirement in the Eleventh Circuit, significantly lowering the barrier to class certification for plaintiffs in federal courts across the country. In Coventry Health Care v. Crosswinds Rehab, he helped preserve the rights of plaintiffs seeking to avoid compelled arbitration, securing a favorable ruling at both the trial and appellate levels.

Earlier in his career, Joey represented businesses and individuals in contract, fraud, trade practices, and trust litigation at a commercial litigation boutique. Notable wins from that time include:

• Meltzer v. NMS Capital Group – Obtained a permanent injunction and declaratory judgment protecting clients from being improperly joined in a multimillion-dollar arbitration.
• Adkins v. Dantro LLP – Recovered stolen funds and attorney’s fees from a former managing partner and successfully defended the award on appeal.

Joey is a magna cum laude graduate of the University of Miami School of Law, where he was a Dean’s Fellow, earned multiple academic honors, and served on the Race and Social Justice Law Review. He also holds a B.A. in Creative Writing from Florida State University. He interned with U.S. Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman in the Southern District of Florida and was a certified legal intern in the Domestic Violence Unit of the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, gaining valuable courtroom experience early in his career.

He is admitted to practice in Florida, North Carolina, all three federal districts of Florida, the Western District of North Carolina, and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. He is a member of the American Bar Association, Florida Bar, North Carolina Bar, and Dade County Bar Association.

Joey lives in Pinecrest, Florida, with his wife, Melody, and their daughters, Soleil and Mischa, who inspire everything he does. For Joey, the work is personal: “When someone walks into our office, it’s usually because a company much bigger than them took advantage of them. I make sure they’re not alone. That’s the job—and it’s an honor.”
