About

Greg Donoghue, a trial lawyer for 36 years, knows the dynamics of what litigators and their clients face from legal, human and business perspectives. Greg has 11 years of experience as a partner in an insurance defense firm and 25 years of personal injury and insurance litigation experience as managing partner of Donoghue & Associates.

After starting his career as an assistant state attorney, Greg limited his practice to personal injury and insurance disputes. He has seen civil litigation from all perspectives and has tried more than 150 cases to verdict. “I am not carrying any baggage from my career as an advocate – only many valuable lessons,” he says.

Greg is recognized as a Civil Trial Specialist by The Florida Bar and the National Board of Trial Advocacy. (Less than 2 percent of the state’s civil trial lawyers are board-certified.) He is also recognized by Super Lawyers® as being among the top 5 percent of attorneys in Florida as determined by independent research and peer evaluations.
