A consummate professional who delivered a critical appellate victory

After a disappointing trial court ruling in a complex commercial contract dispute, our company was at a crossroads. We needed an appellate attorney with not just deep knowledge of the law, but the strategic foresight to navigate the appeals process. Michael Korn was precisely that attorney. His 46 years of experience, particularly his recognized expertise in Appellate Practice, were immediately evident. He didn't just re-argue our case; he meticulously deconstructed the lower court's opinion, identified a pivotal error in the application of Florida commercial law, and built a compelling, airtight brief. His guidance through oral arguments was masterful. The result was a complete reversal in our favor. Mr. Korn’s professionalism is matched by his personal investment in his clients. He demystified each step, communicated with clarity, and instilled confidence during a stressful period. Seeing his recognition as Lawyer of the Year in 2023 now makes perfect sense. For any serious commercial litigation or appellate matter in Jacksonville, Michael Korn and his firm are an exceptional choice.
