Titans of Trial - Bob Spohrer

The Florida Justice Association Research and Education Foundation

Admittedly, his practice of law seems like one disaster after another. But that’s okay for Bob Spohrer of Jacksonville who specializes in aviation and maritime law. Disaster has become his specialty. He and the firm he founded have recovered more than $1 billion for victims and their families, and achieved safety improvements that benefit all of us. His notable cases include the sinking of the El Faro cargo ship with all 33 souls aboard during a tropical storm in 2015.

Bob Spohrer is also a motorcycle-riding, airplane piloting attorney who knows about risks. He has a reputation for taking on tough cases against major opponents with long odds – and winning. He’s a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invitation-only organization of the top 100 trial lawyers in the country, as well as the International Association of Barristers. Bob has been honored with the Florida Justice Association’s B.J. Masterson Award, for high ethical standards and professionalism. He’s also a Crystal Eagle Award winner.

Bob Spohrer sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in December 2017 to discuss his trial focus on mastery of the facts, the keys to success that he shares with others, and how he’s kept his 1960’s idealism in changing times.
