Titans of Trial - Troy Rafferty

The Florida Justice Association Research and Education Foundation

Working in a sausage factory while attending college taught Troy Rafferty the value of hard work and sacrifice. Which helped him become what he is today: one of the top trial lawyers nationally who police the pharmaceutical industry by trying and winning complex mass tort cases.

But as the old adage goes about sausages and laws – that you should never see them being made – Troy’s early experience also provided the fortitude for an important future battle with the Florida Legislature. Before, during and after Troy's time as President of the Florida Justice Association, he worked tirelessly to prevent and ultimately help overturn the legislature’s decision to adopt the Daubert Standard on expert witness testimony.

Troy Rafferty sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in January 2019 to share some of his winning strategies… and his twin concerns that legal practice has become too contentious and is run too much like a business.
