Dodd's Cross-Examination

Jacksonville Law Firm

At the Jacksonville Law Firm of Spohrer & Dodd, our trial lawyers and expert professionals who are focused on representing clients in Florida and nationally. We have a stellar record of successfully representing challenging and complex cases against formidable opponents, often cases which other personal injury law firms are unwilling to undertake. Some accident and injury cases come to our firm through other law offices who choose to partner with Spohrer & Dodd to achieve the best possible outcome for their client. Our talented team of board certified trial lawyers, attorneys and staff, the firm's intellectual and financial resources, and our network of specialized experts are dedicated to every case our Jacksonville law firm handles.

Proven Board Certified Trial lawyers

Senior Partners Bob Spohrer and Roger Dodd are proven courtroom trial lawyers. Each has over 30 years of experience representing a wide range of accident and injury cases. Unlike some law firms, our board certified trial lawyers are competent and capable to take a case to trial in state and federal court whenever this is in our client's best interest. At our Jacksonville law firm, we trust and embrace juries and never doubt that their role is integral to the overall course of justice. Over the years, three of Bob Spohrer's cases have been successfully decided or reviewed by the United States Supreme Court. This is an experience unknown to most Jacksonville trial lawyers.

Advocates and Educators

The attorneys at Spohrer & Dodd are well known advocates for public safety and important civic causes as well as legal education and professionalism. Our advocacy comes from our record of purposely accepting difficult cases; the type of cases that may help to change laws or the way products are manufactured or marketed to consumers. An example of this is the "alert" our widely-reported case provided the general public in regards to the dangers of a defective and unsafe children's toy that was manufactured in China.

Our lawyers are active members and sponsors of numerous civic organizations, including the Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, Volunteer Jacksonville, the NAACP, the Florida Supreme Court Steering Committee on Families and Children in Court, and the Florida Adoption Council. We also support many important professional organizations, such as the Jacksonville Justice Association, The American Inns of Court, The American Board of Trial Advocates, Florida Justice Association, The American Association for Justice, Florida Bar and Jacksonville Bar.

In addition, our trial lawyers serve as educators and lecturers for a broad cross-section of attorneys in continuing education and classroom settings. These services include: adjunct professorships at the Florida Coastal School of Law, lectures to the University of Florida College of Law, the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers, the American Board of Trial Advocacy, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the National Transportation Safety Board Bar Association, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Senior Partner Roger Dodd is an international lecturer and co-author of the Lexis-Nexis best-selling book, "Cross-Examination: Science and Techniques." Roger Dodd's original thinking and important contributions to the body of trial skills is recognized throughout the legal community. His highly-popular annual lectures are always well attended.
