Hickey Law Firm

Overview

<p>Hickey Law Firm, P.A. operates out of Miami as a plaintiff-side trial practice concentrating in admiralty and maritime injury, cruise ship liability, personal injury, medical malpractice, product liability, wrongful death, and premises liability. The firm was built around the practice of founding attorney John H. (Jack) Hickey, who has been litigating plaintiff personal injury and wrongful death cases since 1980, having previously represented cruise lines and railroads before shifting to the plaintiff side.</p><p>Jack Hickey holds dual board certifications from The Florida Bar — in Civil Trial Law and in Admiralty &amp; Maritime Law — and a separate board certification in Civil Trial Law from the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA), a credential held by fewer than five percent of practicing attorneys. He is admitted to all three Florida federal district courts, the Fifth and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. The firm's attorneys also include Sarah A. Lobel, Lisa C. Goodman, Elizabeth D. Carlin, and Lindsey Johnson.</p><p>Among the firm's documented results, a $12 million settlement was reached in a dive-boat accident in the Florida Keys against a defendant carrying only $1 million in insurance coverage, and a $9 million settlement was obtained in a cruise ship passenger assault case — both reported on the firm's public case-results page. The National Law Journal's 2015 Big Money Wins ranking placed a Hickey Law Firm verdict sixth nationally and first in Florida among notable plaintiff recoveries that year.</p><p>Peer recognition for Jack Hickey spans several credentialing bodies. He has been listed in Best Lawyers in America across three categories: Admiralty and Maritime Law, Personal Injury Litigation-Plaintiffs, and Medical Malpractice-Plaintiffs. Super Lawyers has ranked him among Florida's Top 100 in personal injury continuously since 2006, a designation representing roughly the top one percent of the state bar. He carries a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating and is a Member and Life Fellow of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). He serves on the Board of Governors of the American Association for Justice (AAJ) and chairs its Section Leaders Council as of 2025, the same year AAJ awarded him the Richard D. Hailey Distinguished Service Award and ALM recognized him as Maritime Attorney of the Year. He also served on The Florida Bar's Board of Governors from 2008 to 2020 and as President of the Miami-Dade County Bar Association.</p>
