About Jake
An Orlando native who learned the courtroom early
Jake grew up in Orlando and earned his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice at the University of Central Florida. He went on to Barry University’s Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law, graduating magna cum laude in the top 3% of his class.
In law school he worked as a Certified Legal Intern with the State Attorney’s Office for the Ninth Judicial Circuit, handling cases in court, and clerked for Judge Eric DuBois of the Ninth Judicial Circuit. Seeing cases from the prosecutor’s table and the judge’s chambers shaped how he prepares every claim.
Today Jake focuses on negligence cases: personal injury, premises liability and wrongful death. He brings that same preparation to every client, so the insurance company sees a case that’s ready to go the distance.
“There is no growth in the comfort zone.”
