Experience

Geoff Brodersen is an attorney with over five years of post graduate legal experience who maintains a broad civil litigation practice. Geoff began his legal career as an Assistant State Attorney for the 1st Judicial Circuit of Florida, prosecuting misdemeanor and felony cases. In addition to numerous bench trials and hearings, Geoff was lead counsel on multiple jury trials at both the misdemeanor and felony levels.

After gaining extensive courtroom and trial experience as a prosecutor, Geoff joined a multi sate firm focusing on the defense of civil (non-criminal) claims. Civil litigation often involves claims made against insurance policies and insurers, and Geoff focused on the defense of those claims, which have involved several areas of law, including bad faith, personal injury, premises liability, property disputes, wrongful death, and automobile and trucking accidents. Geoff also has experience handling contract litigation, maritime and Longshoreman claims, employment disputes, benefit claims, commercial appraisals, and appellate work.

Upon joining Shell, Fleming Davis & Menge, Geoff's practice broadened to include the representation of corporate and individual clients and businesses involved in commercial and contractual disputes, construction litigation, real estate, banking and mortgages, while also maintaining a general civil litigation defense practice.

Geoff earned his Juris Doctor Degree from Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, FL where he received book awards in Toxic Torts, Environmental Law, Criminal Procedure and State and Local Government, was a Dean's Scholar and served on the school's Honor Court. During law school, Geoff gained professional experience interning with the City of Jacksonville's environmental quality division and with a national hospital and clinic. Prior to law school, Geoff worked in the Washington, D.C. area for a political consulting firm developing Political Action Committees for corporations.

Mr. Brodersen is licensed to practice before all Florida state courts, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
