In 1963 Jerome Wolfson earned his law degree at the University of Miami, joined the Florida Bar, and opened the firm that now carries his family name. Six decades on, he is still at the office, giving his view on cases and taking on insurance companies that wrongly deny benefits.
Originally from Long Branch, New Jersey, he moved to South Florida in 1960. He served in the United States Coast Guard and was honorably discharged in 1969. His practice over the years has included criminal defense, workers' compensation, and labor law as well as personal injury; today it is limited to injury and insurance matters.
Jerome holds Florida certification as a circuit civil mediator and arbitrator. He sits on panels that arbitrate labor disputes for the American Arbitration Association, the National Mediation Board, and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and on permanent panels for the City of West Palm Beach and Miami-Dade County. Years of sitting in the neutral's chair shape what he writes here: how someone deciding a claim actually weighs it.
