COKER • SCHICKEL • SORENSON • POSGAY
has been successful for over 30 years in getting justice for the
seriously injured – justice in the form of high-value verdicts and
settlements.
We have the experience, commitment and resources to vigorously
prosecute complex civil litigation and are frequently called upon by
other attorneys to co-counsel on difficult, hard-to-prove cases.
These high standards of performance and professionalism are the
cornerstones of our reputation as a premiere Florida trial law firm,
and translate to maximum results for all our clients.

EXPERIENCE gained from over three decades of fighting for justice
for our clients has resulted in the successful conclusion of
hundreds of trials and thousands of settlements. Founding partners
Howard Coker, John “Jake” Schickel, and Charles Sorenson began the
firm in 1977 and have never looked back.
Since we began, our firm has built a solid record of getting maximum
recovery for our clients. Leveraging skills crafted by experience,
and adhering to the proven-effective traditions and rigors of the
law, cases are thoroughly researched, investigated, and prepared for
trial.
With a reputation for being willing and capable of going to trial in
any case, the defendants we oppose realize that they must fairly and
adequately compensate our clients.
Our work has made a significant difference in the lives of scores of
families and individuals who have been injured or suffered loss.
COMMITMENT to
our clients’ best interest, every step of the way, is
another foundation for the firm’s reputation and success. At a time
when litigation is complex, sophisticated and expensive, we take
cases to a conclusion before juries.
Our firm is comprised of skilled trial advocates and
paraprofessionals – all of whom are dedicated to providing
personalized service and legal excellence. The sum of these parts is
a highly motivated and formidable team, working cohesively on behalf
of all our clients.
We are recognized as leaders by peers for our active commitment to
our clients, the cause of justice, and the legal profession. Our
partners are board-certified in Civil Trial Law by The Florida Bar,
and the firm is AV-rated by Martindale Hubbell. Howard Coker is Past
President of The Florida Bar, and the Academy of Florida Trial
Lawyers.
As our track record shows, we go the distance for clients -- no
matter how complicated the case gets or how long it takes to
conclude.
RESULTS in the form of maximum recovery are the culmination of
our experience and commitment – the standard by which we are
measured. Driven to get our clients compensation commensurate with
their injuries, we do whatever is necessary in each case we handle.
This aggressive stance has led to such results as:
●
$25,000,000 product liability verdict
●
$1,890,000 trucking accident settlement
●
$3,500,000 premises liability verdict
●
$1,875,000 wrongful death settlement during trial
●
$1,153,000 motor vehicle accident settlement
Successes like these stand as testimony to our effectiveness in
forcefully representing the interests of our clients
