Johnny Depp's lawyers Camille Vasquez and Ben Chew led his libel lawsuit during a six-week trial against Amber Heard.
RELATED: Johnny Depp wins suit vs. Amber Heard, who partially won countersuit
Johnny Depp won the defamation lawsuit he filed accusing ex Amber Heard of defaming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star in a 2018 op-ed, with a Virginia jury awarding him /more than $10 million in damages and vindicating his stance that Heard fabricated claims that she was abused by Depp before and during their brief marriage.
The jury found Depp should receive $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, but the judge said state law caps punitive damages at $350,000, meaning Depp was awarded $10.35 million.
Heard also partially won her counter-lawsuit over comments made by Depp's lawyer Adam Waldman when he called her abuse allegations a hoax. The jury awarded her $2 million in damages.
