Coker Law

Coker Law Coker Law is an experienced team of trial lawyers. We are honored to be among the most highly-rated firms in the state of Florida since 1976. We try cases.

Coker Law stands for justice, as it has for 45 years. We vigorously and effectively represent clients in all types of serious personal injury. One of the most highly rated trial law firms in the state, our Jacksonville, Florida-based team of attorneys and staff has often been all that has stood between injured individuals and injustice. We stand up to big business and major municipalities for our

clients, bringing the depth and breadth of our experience, commitment, and integrity to bear in all cases. We serve individuals and families who have suffered injury or loss due to the negligence of others. Coker Law serves clients in Jacksonville, Northeast Florida, across the state and nationally. We are often called upon by lawyers throughout Florida and other states to co-counsel on complex cases against aggressive and resourceful opponents. Our team is not interested in taking an easy settlement. Firm attorneys are both willing and able to take cases to court in order to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. Years of experience, trial skills, professional credentials and our uncompromising commitment to justice uniquely qualifies us to go the distance in the most complicated and challenging of situations. We are experienced with the serious, disabling and often degenerative medical problems that arise when clients are injured by the negligent actions of others. Our attorneys work with specialized doctors who are experts in diagnosing and treating some of the more complex conditions associated with trauma, such as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), a severe neurological condition that causes serious pain which has proven to be real, but is not widely understood by all doctors. We get results for people like you. Coker Law is well known as a premiere Florida trial firm. Our high standards of professionalism and performance are the cornerstone of this reputation among clients and other attorneys. We are frequently called upon by attorneys in other firms to co-counsel on complex, hard-to-prove and expensive cases. When you have been injured, harmed or suffered loss through the negligence of others, it is extremely important to know how to choose an attorney. We recommend that you carefully check the accreditation, level of experience and record of success of any civil litigation firm or attorney you are considering to handle your claim. If an attorney has successfully concluded, through trial or settlement, numerous cases similar to yours, it is a good indicator that he or she has the experience and skill to handle your case. It is also important to work with an attorney who has a good reputation as a trial lawyer, because you may need to go to trial to receive fair compensation for your injuries and damages. In addition, defendants in civil litigation tend to offer larger settlements if your attorney has a reputation as a good trial lawyer, as going to court is an option many defendants want to avoid. A skillful trial lawyer will have the experience and resources to prepare your case thoroughly, give you the type of attention your case deserves and help you obtain the recovery to which you are entitled.

Congratulations to our incredible trial team on securing a $5.2 million jury verdict for our client after the defense argued the case was worth only $6,000.

For 50 years, our Jacksonville-based team has built a reputation as an elite trial firm—known for strategic preparation, courtroom skill, and an unwavering commitment to justice.

We are proud of the dedication, precision, and advocacy this team brought to trial, and grateful to the jury for their thoughtful attention to the evidence and the truth. Outstanding work by an exceptional team--Attorney Dan Iracki, Attorney Joel Harris, Attorney Howard Coker, Attorney Trevor Hawes, Attorney Chelsea Russell Harris, Paralegal Becky Owens Biastre, Paralegal Leigh-Anne Mills-Morrill, Trial Coordinator Evelyn Evie Williams-Jackson Thomas, and Tech Alec Morrill.

CONGRATULATIONS to the trial team of Attorney Fraz Ahmed, Attorney Dana Jacobs, Attorney Stefano Portigliatti, Esq., and Paralegal Melissa Hunter on securing a $10.7 million verdict for their client, Rebecca Diley-Triplett.

After more than six years of Progressive Insurance minimizing the extent of Ms. Diley-Triplett’s significant injuries—and asking the jury to award just $14,000—the jury never lost sight of the evidence presented over six days of trial. They returned a verdict awarding the full ask of $10,736,000 for the devastating neck and back injuries, chronic pain, and lasting impact Ms. Diley-Triplett has endured in her daily life.

This verdict is a powerful reflection of the team’s preparation, persistence, and unwavering commitment to justice.
