Ken Sobel

For over 30 years, Ken Sobel has been representing the victims of negligent conduct in Florida’s state and federal courts. When all reasonable efforts to resolve a personal injury or medical malpractice claim through a negotiated settlement have failed, Ken has not hesitated to file a lawsuit and seek compensation from those who have caused his clients’ injuries or have taken the lives of loved ones. Whether the case is for wrongful death or catastrophic injuries, Ken starts his preparation for trial from the first time he speaks with his clients, using his 30 plus years of experience to secure vital evidence. In addition to having a thorough knowledge of the law and the rules of court, obtaining a reasonable financial recovery for clients who have been injured due to negligence often requires a thorough understanding of a wide range of other disciplines, including medicine, engineering, psychology, pharmacology, mechanics, economics, human factors, art and technology. Ken prepared himself for trial work by taking a broad, liberal arts curriculum in college and graduating with honors from Lake Forest College in 1982. Thereafter, Ken received an excellent legal education at Yeshiva University’s Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in New York City. Ken is a licensed private pilot and is a certified SCUBA diver. After law school, Ken, a native Floridian born in Miami, returned home and began his practice as the 7th attorney at what is now, one of the largest law firms in Florida – Greenspoon Marder LLP., where Ken remained for 27 years on good terms. Ken left that firm and pursued a smaller practice devoted exclusively to personal injury cases and accepting the representation of people injured from automobile collisions to medical malpractice. Ken now presides over his own Firm – Sobel Legal. Ken has taken numerous cases to trial and has obtained significant verdicts on his clients’ behalf, including verdicts in excess of one million dollars and several which even exceeded the defendant’s insurance policy limits.  But while trial victories are important, Ken considers his ability to resolve cases before trial as being equally important and Ken’s preparation of every case as though it may be tried has maximized his client’s recoveries, many of which are seven-figure cases. Sobel has earned several honors over his distinguished career:
