Stefano Portigliatti

Stefano D. Portigliatti is a trial attorney specializing in commercial motor vehicle cases at Coker Law, PA in Jacksonville, FL.  He has represented clients in over 70 trucking cases and helped obtained more than $30,000,000 in verdicts and settlements just in the last five years.

Mr. Portigliatti is one of only 20 attorneys in the United States to pass a rigorous exam on trucking laws, an intensive background check and proved that his practice is dedicated to protecting victims of truck crashes. He is also one of the youngest attorneys to be included among Super Lawyer’s Rising Stars and the National Trial Lawyers’ Top 40 Under 40.  He often presents on topics related to trial and trucking litigation. He is a member of the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, where he serves as vice-chair of the New Trucking Lawyer Division.  Mr. Portigliatti is  the founder of the Trucking Litigation Academy, which assists other plaintiffs’ attorneys handling trucking cases with forms, resources, and seminars available at www.truck.law.  Mr. Portigliatti is also vice-chair of the Florida Bar’s Leadership Academy, which fosters diversity in the Florida Bar while developing the future leadership of our profession.

Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to a hard-working Italian family, Mr. Portigliatti has been engaged in diverse business ventures across multiple continents.  He was initially motivated to attend law school in order to further these businesses, but was moved by his interactions with his non-English speaking clients, most of whom were suffering greater injustice because of language barriers and unfamiliarity with our court systems. His passion to serve the under-served spurred Mr. Portigliatti to seek and obtain justice for these clients.  His determination, audacity and business experience, along with his empathetic bond with his clients makes him a unique threat against the insurance industry and at-fault corporations.

Outside of law, Mr. Portigliatti speaks all over the world in the areas of emotional intelligence, innovation and human development. He is a certified master coach and human resources trainer and has developed several courses and systems that apply psychology and behavioral analytics to management and trial strategies.  Mr. Portigliatti is a musician and likes to sail, golf, cook and travel with his wife, Brittany. Together they volunteer with New Beginnings Global Outreach to provide services and resources for emotional, physical and spiritual health to the needy.
