Every case is unique, the results in one case do not necessarily indicate the value of another case, and most cases result in lower recovery. It should not be assumed that your case will have as beneficial a result. Recoveries are before deduction for attorneys’ fees and expenses. Verdicts are before reduction for comparative negligence, setoffs, and high-low agreements. Safety changes can be the result of many factors other than the cases mentioned.

Henry David Thoreau Letter from the Executive Director Dear Leadership Jacksonville alumni and friends, For 40 years Leadership Jacksonville has educated, connected and inspired diverse leaders from across Northeast Florida. Wow! Two thousand adults have participated in our core adult program during this period and are building and strengthening their communities. The 2015-16 Yearbook cover shows a stunning array of area trees. Trees were intentionally chosen this year for their obvious representation of the reach of our alumni. Participants in our adult, youth, college and new leader programs form the roots of our community – they are the base upon which much good happens but their work isn’t always seen. The product of your efforts branches and spreads across our region and many of the great things that happen in Northeast Florida are the result of the vision, hard work and collaboration of our alumni. I am often reminded of a favorite quote, “The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” Nelson Henderson As a result of 40 years of hard work by alumni, staff and community volunteers and generous financial support, Leadership Jacksonville continues to plant trees. Our community is a better place because of your leadership, vision and action. Thank you.
