Our Firm

Terrell Hogan-The Firm

Terrell Hogan, formed in 1974, is the largest jury trial firm in Northeast Florida representing only victims injured by negligence, intentional wrongdoing or defective products. Conveniently located in downtown Jacksonville (five bridges and two interstate highways provide easy access to our office with plenty of parking), Terrell Hogan is dedicated to providing thorough representation to injury victims seeking justice. This “leave no stone unturned” philosophy has always been the key to success for the firm’s clients.

The right of access to the courts and right of trial by jury are enshrined in our Florida Constitution. Steadily dedicated to fighting for the rights of innocent victims, and seeking the vindication they deserve, Wayne Hogan and his fellow civil justice attorneys and staff sincerely respect our clients and serve them with dedication, sensitivity and strength.

Facing physical, emotional and financial trauma can be devastating to even the strongest of us. However, our Constitution and our laws are designed to protect victims of personal injury. When our clients know they have an advocate on their side, they can make it through even the most difficult times. Everyone at Terrell Hogan understands that personal injury victims are often going through the most traumatic times of their lives and enduring disastrous financial expense, grinding pain and suffering, or even the loss forever of someone very dear to them. This devastation to the lives of those we serve causes us to consider it our personal responsibility to bring swiftly to justice those whose wrongs produced the suffering.

A law firm is only as good as the people in it. And at Terrell, Hogan we’re surrounded by many of the brightest minds in the legal profession. Our attorneys have excellent educational backgrounds and experience, engage in constant continuing education, and, most importantly, they all share a sense of compassion, dedication and desire to represent our clients to best of their ability.
