FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

How much does it cost to hire Coker Law?
Nothing up front. Coker Law works on a contingency-fee basis. Case costs are advanced by the firm. The percentage and breakdown is disclosed in writing before you sign. You pay nothing if there's no recovery.
What is board certification and why does it matter?
Board certification by the Florida Bar in civil trial law is the highest credential for trial lawyers in the state. Fewer than 1% of Florida lawyers hold it. Nine Coker Law attorneys are board certified — meaningful for cases that may need to be tried.
Do you handle wrongful death cases?
Yes. Wrongful death is a core practice area. Florida's Wrongful Death Act has specific rules about who can recover and what damages are available — the firm handles every step from filing the personal representative through the recovery distribution.
Will Howard Coker personally handle my case?
On the most serious matters, Howard remains involved in strategy. Day-to-day, your case will likely be led by a senior attorney such as Daniel Iracki, with Howard available as needed.
How long does a personal injury case take?
Most cases settle within 6–18 months. Catastrophic injury or wrongful death cases that require expert development can take longer, especially if filed and litigated. Coker Law gives a realistic timeline at the consultation.
