Spohrer Dodd Trial Attorneys

What Spohrer Dodd Trial Attorneys does

Spohrer Dodd Trial Attorneys is a Jacksonville, Florida-based personal injury law firm organized as Spohrer & Dodd, PL, operating from a single headquarters at 76 S. Laura Street. The firm concentrates on catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation across six practice areas: medical malpractice, motor vehicle, premises liability, product liability, aviation accidents, and Federal Tort Claims Act matters. Its client base consists exclusively of individual plaintiffs rather than institutional or repeat customers.

The firm's competitive differentiation is built on attorney credentials rather than technology. The bench of eight trial lawyers collectively holds more than 150 years of legal experience, including Florida Bar board-certified specialists in aviation law and civil/criminal trial, FAA-licensed pilots, and attorneys admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. The firm has recovered more than $1 billion cumulatively for clients, with marquee results including a $13.5 million jury verdict in 2018 (ranked in the Top 100 Personal Injury Verdicts) and a Top 100 Medical Malpractice Verdict in 2023.

Spohrer Dodd operates on a contingency fee model, with no upfront cost to clients and fees taken as a percentage of settlement or verdict. Revenue is generated through direct client intake via free consultation, referrals, content marketing (blog, free Post-Accident Injury Checklist), and community sponsorship (Five Star Veterans Center, Civil Air Patrol, Florida Coastal School of Law). The firm maintains no disclosed external funding, is founder-owned, and expands case capacity through co-counsel arrangements with out-of-state firms (e.g., RisCassi & Davis in Connecticut) rather than satellite offices.
