J.P. Gonzalez-Sirgo, P.A. |
I was a year old when my parents arrived from Cuba to the United States in 1969. Growing up in Northwest Miami, I attended Comstock Elementary School, Kelsey L. Pharr Elementary School, and Allapattah Junior High School. Eventually, my family, which had grown to Mom, Dad, and four boys, settled in Hialeah, Florida. I am the oldest of the four boys. In Hialeah, I attended Palm Springs Junior High School and graduated from Hialeah High School in 1986. While at Hialeah High I participated in the Diversified Cooperative Training work program. I held jobs at Bojangles and Wendys fast food restaurants early in my high school days. I spent the last two years of high school working the 4pm-midnight shift at a plastics factory.
After high school, I attended Miami-Dade Community College, North Campus, now known as Miami-Dade College and continued my education at Florida International University (FIU). In addition to working 30-40 hours a week at a job and carrying a full time student course schedule while at FIU, I also served as the Sports Editor of my college paper and was a member of the Pre-Law Society. I borrowed and worked my way through college, graduating with Honors from FIU in 1990 with a degree in Political Science.
After college I took a year off to work and save money. It was during this year that I worked as a claims adjuster for a busy independent adjusting company in Miami, Florida. I handled hundreds of claims on behalf of several insurance companies.
I
n 1991 I went off to law school. Having been admitted to a number of law schools, I chose Vanderbilt University School of Law, an elite law school that offered me a partial scholarship. Once again, I borrowed and worked my way through law school working as a Vanderbilt Reeve on campus. In my last year in law school I worked at a prominent insurance defense law firm.
Although I respect and learned a great deal from the people that I worked with during my tenure as a claims adjuster and an insurance defense firm law clerk, I realized that my heart was not in representing the Goliaths of the world. After reading Jay Foonberg's How to Start and Build a Law Practice, I turned down interviews with some of the best law firms in Miami. In 1994, borrowing from credit cards, I started my own law practice in Hialeah, Florida. In 1996, I moved my office to Coral Gables, Florida where my office remains today in the historic Douglas Entrance office complex. I also make my home in Coral Gables. From day one in my practice, it has been about representing the Davids of the world. And I have never looked back. A strong work ethic and the insight that I gained working as a claims adjuster and working for an insurance defense law firm now serves my clients well in working towards quick and fair resolutions of their pending claims.
I take pride in representing those in need: Florida's insurance policy holders who work hard to make their premium payments and then find themselves abandoned when the need to file a claim becomes necessary, often in the midst of a tragic or catastrophic event. My job is simply to get Big Insurance to compensate the victims of their actions or indifference when they choose to place Big Profits above fairness. Not a dollar more. And not a dollar less. That is our civil justice system.
I am a member of The Florida Bar, American Association of Justice (AAJ) (Member - Insurance Law Section) (Member - ERISA, Health, and Disability Insurance Litigation Group), and Florida Justice Association (FJA). I am also admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Florida, and the U.S. Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit. I have been certified as a life member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. The Million Dollar Advocates Forum is recognized as one of the most presitigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts, awards, and settlements. Fewer than 1% of U.S. lawyers are members. I am a lifetime member of the Florida International University Alumni Association and a sustaining member of the Vanderbilt University Alumni Association. I served a three (3) year term as a Member and Chair of Grievance Committee "C" of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of the Florida Bar. I am also a Volunteer Lawyer with Lawyers for Children America.
