Titans of Trial – Richard Slawson

Richard Slawson’s guiding principal in life has been to stay determined and never give up.  He credits it to his success in personal injury cases and to becoming one of Florida’s preeminent insurance bad faith lawyers.  He’s now focusing that tenacity on fighting human trafficking, having transitioned to an “of counsel” role. The Florida Justice Association has been another common thread in his life.  He’s a past president of the FJA and has been honored with the Perry Nichols Award, its most prestigious, together with the Al J. Cone and B.J. Masterson awards.   He’s also in the FJA’s Eagle Hall of Fame, for his lifetime of leadership and financial contributions to protect consumer rights. Richard Slawson sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in May 2019 to share his powerful message of consumer advocacy, pointers on running a successful law firm, and his one regret about not.
