Coker Law attorneys recognized as tops in the region

Posted on February 3, 2021 By Editor Uncategorized

As the New Year begins, Coker Law continues to be recognized as one of the top law firms in Jacksonville. Not only did the firm make the 2020 list of “Best Law Firms” selected by U.S. News and Best Lawyers, but also Coker Law attorneys were selected to join prestigious law societies or boards.

On the 2020 “Best Law Firms” list, Coker Law is regionally ranked tier one in two practice areas, medical malpractice law and personal injury litigation. This designation is based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes evaluations and reviews from leading attorneys in the field. At least 22,000 firms were evaluated this past year, the highest on record.

Coker Law shareholder Fraz Ahmed and trial attorney and personal injury litigation authority Chelsea Harris were selected for membership to the International Society of Barristers (ISOB). ISOB supports the retention of trial by jury, provides training in advocacy, encourages civility, and supports and improves the justice system. As membership comes by invitation only, it is a prestigious honor to be included, as members undergo a rigorous screening process that considers the lawyer’s ability, experience, accomplishments, and ethical standards.

Other Coker Law attorneys that have been recognized in the community are David Thompson, Janeen Kirch, and Stefano Portigliatti. Thompson, a trial attorney, has been accepted into the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), a national association of experienced trial lawyers and judges where members are selected by their peers. Kirch, an experienced personal injury trial attorney, has been elected to serve on the board of the Jacksonville Justice Association (JJA). Portigliatti, a lawyer who is considered a trucking crash expert, was the winner of the Michael Bailey Trial Lawyers Email List Award. He was selected for his outstanding contributions to all of the lawyers on the email list throughout the state of Florida, and the list’s membership is currently in the thousands.
