Legal career
In 2005 Jagolinzer became a partner at the Ferraro Law Firm in Miami, and is currently a shareholder at the firm. He specializes in cases involving mesothelioma victims, product liability, toxic mass tort, and catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death.
Notable cases
In April 2008 he earned his client a $24.2 million jury verdict in Guilder v. Honeywell International, Inc., which at the time was the highest compensatory damage award against a single defendant in a Florida mesothelioma case in history. The case made The National Law Journal's Top 100 Verdicts for that year. However this verdict was reversed on appeal.
Also in 2008, Jagolinzer was a key figure in convincing the court to declare the 2005 Florida Asbestos Statute as unconstitutional, in William v. American Optical Corporation. The now defunct law limited the amount and types of people allowed to sue for asbestos-related injuries.
Memberships
He is a member of the American Bar Association, Florida Bar Association, Massachusetts Bar Association, Dade County Professionalism Committee, American Association for Justice, and the National Italian American Bar Association.
