JIM GLOBER

PARTNER

MORE THAN JUST A JOB

I used to work for an insurance company. I headed the company’s litigation office in Jacksonville. From the company’s perspective, denying an injured person compensation could be considered a “win.” But it never felt like a victory to me. That’s why I became a personal injury attorney. 

Taking a moral stance against injustice is enough in and of itself to give my work meaning, but I enjoy other aspects of my job as well. Bringing clients relief, figuring out how to solve their problems, and beating insurance companies at their own game — these are more than just perks. They’re the reason I love going to work each day.

What actually feels like a win is not denying a person compensation. A win is getting to know what makes our clients tick, what brings them joy, what scares them, and what fulfills them. This allows us to represent our clients as individuals. It allows us to tap into our empathy, a judge’s empathy and a jury’s empathy. It allows us to get to the truth, to solve the mystery, which is where justice lies. A win is knowing a person, developing empathy for that person, and then forcing an insurance company to do the right thing, whether through settlement or trial.
