Titans of Trial - Bob Kerrigan

The Florida Justice Association Research and Education Foundation

Bob Kerrigan is as irrepressible as the sunrise over the Pensacola Bay that his law office has overlooked for the past 45 years. Bob is one of the nine trial lawyers who brought – and settled – the famous Big Tobacco lawsuit by the state of Florida back in the mid 1990’s. At $13 billion, it was the largest civil judgment at the time in the nation. Among his many achievements is the Florida Bar’s Tobias Simon Pro Bono Service Award. He’s currently in pursuit of international human rights violators.

Bob Kerrigan, with his admitted luck-of-the-Irish and devil-may-care attitude, sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in late August 2017 to discuss the keys to his success, his struggles, and his concern that big money too often is now driving the practice of trial law.
