Bill Ogle represents clients with major injury claims throughout the entire State of Florida.. Ogle is a national board certified civil trial specialist. This distinction is earned only by those lawyers who have been recognized by judges and other lawyers as successfully skilled in the presentation of cases in court.

Ogle also currently teaches law students at the University of Florida. Ogle says, “helping law students to understand the importance of justice in our country and the role that trials and lawyers play in that process has been an extremely rewarding experience for me personally. Each semester, I look forward to the opportunity to help students at the University of Florida School of Law.”. Born in Washington D.C. on April 6, 1948, Bill Ogle earned his bachelors degree with honors from Emory University. Scoring in the top 10% of the United States in the National Legal Aptitude Exam, he was accepted into the University of Florida College of Law.

He is a member of the Florida Bar Association, the American Association for Justice and the Florida Justice Association.. Ogle’s position as a national board certified civil trial specialist does not mean that all of his client’s cases are resolved by trial. It does mean however, that his adversaries know that if they do not settle a case, Ogle has the ability to present the case to a jury. This has caused the vast majority of his cases to settle. To date, Ogle has successfully completed thousands of settled claims and hundreds of trials. When an insurance company will not pay reasonable compensation for a claim, Ogle has readily shown his willingness to place the case before an impartial jury for resolution.
