My name is Nicholas Gurney and I am a trial attorney handling catastrophic injury and death cases all over the state of Florida. I was born and raised here, making it my mission to represent our citizens in their fight against powerful corporations, massive insurance companies, and oppressive government. In my career, I have secured favorable jury verdicts in both civil and criminal cases. I am very proud of this fact because some attorneys never try a case in front of a jury.
This is important because insurance companies and large corporations know which attorneys are willing to try cases to verdict.Perhaps more importantly, they know who can do it well.
In order to hone my skills as a trial attorney, I enrolled a leading Legal Studies program with the University of Central Florida. There, I studied both the art and science of trial advocacy. After graduating from UCF with Honors from the prestigious Burnett Honors College, I attended the University of Florida Levin College of Law where I graduated Cum Laude with Dean's List Honors. At UF Law, I donated more free legal service hours than any other graduate--for which I was honored to receive the H. G. Blechman Pro Bono Service Award. I worked hard in school, earning the highest grade in six (6) different courses with degree certificates in Community Service, Criminal Justice, and Pro Bono Legal Work. To this day, I am one of only a handful of attorneys ever to be inducted into both the National Order of Barristers and Florida Blue Key National Honor Society upon graduation.Since graduating from UF Law, I have helped secured favorable results for injured clients including jury verdicts of $1.4 million in Palm Beach County and $1.3 million in Collier County, Florida. Even so, I never stop learning. In 2016, I became one of the youngest graduates of Gerry Spence's famed Trial Lawyer's College in Dubois, Wyoming. Just last year, I was named to National Trial Lawyers' Top 40 Under 40.
I enjoy coaching the UCF Trial Team, of which I am a proud alumni and former national championship competitor. I serve as an Adjunct Professor of Legal Studies at the University of Central Florida teaching legal argument techniques to the next generation of legal minds.I am available to take your call, day or night, at 413-648-7639.
