Titans of Trial - Howard Coker

The Florida Justice Association Research and Education Foundation

Howard Coker of Jacksonville is a trial lawyer with a teacher’s heart. From that one morning in fourth grade he woke-up and declared he wanted to be at trial lawyer, he also very much wanted to be an athletic coach. In his law career, he’s created the perfect blend of his two huge talents.

He’s been recognized with the Mickey Smiley Award, given by the Florida Justice Association, for the terrific amount of counsel he’s given to newer lawyers throughout his four decades plus career. Along the way, he’s also won just about every other award there is, including the Perry Nichols Award, this association’s most prestigious – along with the B.J. Masterson Award for professionalism and high ethical standards. He’s also a past president not only of this association, but also of the Florida Bar.

Howard Coker sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in December 2017 to talk about the big cases he’s won and the lessons he’s learned along the way.
