Laurence Huttman

Laurence Huttman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Larry attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he received his BA in Political Science with a minor in business institutions in 1993. While in college, Larry held many positions in his fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, including President. He also served on the Intrafraternity Counsel. Larry was an intern in Washington, D. C., for a U. S. Congressman and assisted with state and national campaigns while in college. Following college, Larry attended the University of Miami School of Law, where he graduated cum laude in 1996, served on the Sports and Entertainment Law Review, and was President of a prominent Legal Fraternity. Larry has a strong work ethic, always working throughout high school, college, and law school. Larry enjoys trial work and thinking like a lawyer. He strives to attend to his clients needs with integrity, tough advocacy, optimistic reflection, and excellence. Larry has handled many kinds of cases throughout the State of Florida since 1996, initially on the side of the defense; however, Larry particularly enjoys helping victims who have suffered injuries, especially catastrophic injuries, or who have lost a loved one because of the negligence of others, including through medical malpractice. Being a Jacksonville personal injury lawyer is a calling for Larry as he feels fulfilled finding answers for people and helping them to seek justice for wrongs done to them. Over the course of Larrys career, Larry has handled unique high-value wrongful death and injury cases involving catastrophic injuries to people, including medical negligence, failure to supervise individuals with developmental delays or disabilities, automobile crashes, trucking and other commercial vehicle crashes, pool drownings, fires, premises liability, inadequate security, civil rights, employment, cemeteries, and products liability. In 2006, Larry participated as lead trial counsel in a medical negligence case on behalf of a client who suffered catastrophic brain damage where the Jury returned a verdict in excess of $6.3 million. What was most pleasing about this case was the way the jurors hugged Larrys client at the conclusion of this hard-fought ten-day legal battle. In 2020, Larry resolved a claim for millions of dollars with which his disabled client was able to obtain the medical care and independence he needed. When he is not working, Larry enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, participating in youth sports and family and faith-driven activities. Having previously spent several years with two prominent South Florida law firms, Larry is absolutely thrilled to be practicing here in Jacksonville, where he commenced his career once again.
