About

Joey has called Florida home for more than 25 years. He graduated with honors from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism. He then joined one of Orlando’s top TV newsrooms as an associate producer. After leaving local news, Joey started law school at the Florida State University College of Law. He competed in state and national competitions on both the Moot Court and Mock Trial teams. 

Joey began his legal career serving the people of Orange County as an Assistant State Attorney, prosecuting hundreds of criminal cases involving felony offenses, domestic violence, drug trafficking, and juvenile offenses. He tried over 40 jury and nonjury trials as a prosecutor and Certified Legal Intern. Joey then joined a national Am Law 200 civil defense firm where he represented large corporations and insurance companies. There, Joey gained a deep understanding of how these companies handle injury cases. After several years, Joey felt compelled to use this knowledge to fight for justice on behalf of people and families whose lives were devastated by the negligence of others. Joey joined a prominent plaintiff’s personal injury law firm to represent people and recovered $5 million for his clients. 

Outside of work, Joey loves spending time with his family, traveling, snowboarding, and enjoying live music.
