About The Firm

Margol & Pennington, P.A. is a law firm with a history of success in the courtroom. The firm was named by U.S. News and Best Lawyers® as one of the “Best Law Firms” in America, 2011-2012. Margol & Pennington does not advertise. We do not solicit our clients. Many times, our clients are referred to us by other attorneys, judges, physicians or former clients. Often, our clients have been unable to get clear answers from those involved.

Margol & Pennington thoroughly evaluates the merits of each medical malpractice case before filing a lawsuit. We will only proceed with a malpractice case if it is supported by highly qualified experts. We recognize that the defendants in these cases rely upon the substantial financial resources of their insurance carriers who will aggressively defend cases even where there has been clear medical negligence. Despite the financial resources of the insurance companies supporting the defendants, we continue to achieve success at trial due to our commitment to justice and to our clients.

We provide free legal services to those who cannot afford to pay a lawyer through our own pro bono service and through the Jacksonville Area Legal Aid Program. The attorneys of Margol & Pennington have also supported various charitable organizations including the Hubbard House for Abused Women; the Salvation Army; the Sulzberger Homeless Shelter; the American Cancer Society; Cerebral Palsy of Northeast Florida; the Police Benevolent Association; the Alzheimer’s Association; and Episcopal Children’s Services.

We never charge a client for discussing and evaluating his or her case. If we accept a case involving a serious injury or death, we will always agree to do so on a contingency fee basis and to advance the costs of litigation, if the client so desires.
