Titans of Trial - Don Hinkle

It was a chance encounter with trial lawyers Fred Levin and Chris Searcy when he was just a few years out of law school that taught Don Hinkle a big lesson: To be a successful trial lawyer, you just have to be yourself.  It’s that and good old-fashioned hard work that he credits for much of his success.

He focuses on catastrophic personal injury cases, limiting his practice to devote extra time and extra effort on each case.  One of his cases spurred the creation of shallow diving warning signs now seen at swimming pools around the world.

Don Hinkle sat down sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in August 2020 to talk about his biggest cases, why he still gets nervous before trial, and the grave concern he has about some legal advertising.
