Trial Lawyers
Our lawyers are not just "litigators" but experienced and accomplished trial lawyers. Our depth of experience as trial lawyers and our record of success in all aspects of trial and appellate work set us apart from other firms. Not only are our lawyers familiar with all forms of dispute resolution and masters of procedural rules, but they are also skilled in traditional and innovative trial techniques.
Our lawyers also handle a wide range of dispute resolution proceedings, including mediation and arbitration, and represent corporations, individuals and organizations in all Florida courts and throughout the United States. We resolve matters extending from the most complex and sophisticated court proceedings, arbitrations and criminal enforcement actions to routine disputes that arise on a daily basis.
Handling these matters requires a thorough knowledge of the relevant area of law as well as a deep understanding of our clients' business environments. We work with clients to resolve disputes expeditiously and economically.
Fowler White Boggs has a long history of developing legendary trial lawyers. Our Firm's heritage has continued as we have developed new generations of trial lawyers who regularly represent clients in depositions, summary judgment proceedings, research and pre-trial proceedings including settlement conferences. Under the direction of a group of senior lawyers, these young lawyers rapidly develop the trial skills needed to navigate the court system efficiently and successfully.
