John McCorvey draws upon 17 years of legal experience in civil litigation to resolve business disputes. Mr. McCorvey is also a Florida Bar Certified Circuit Court Civil Mediator with training in dispute resolution. The litigation process is sometimes necessary, but is often unpredictable and expensive, with the litigants having very little control over the outcome. He has handled hundreds of civil disputes, tried cases before judge and juries in Florida courts, and understands the litigation process. He also recognizes and appreciates the practical aspects of litigating a dispute, including the frustration, stress and financial impact upon clients. As a result, he approaches dispute resolution not only with extensive legal knowledge and experience, but also with consideration for the "people" issues involved, and encourages outcomes that are positive for clients and minimize the negative aspects of involvement in a controversy. However, should trial be necessary, he stands ready with the experience and knowledge for effective advocacy on his client’s behalf.
Mr. McCorvey was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, and graduated from Episcopal High School. Mr. McCorvey enjoys membership in the Rotary Club of West Jacksonville where he serves as a Director and the 200 Club, an organization benefiting family members of firemen and policemen killed or injured in the line of duty. He has served as president of the Young Lawyers Section of the Jacksonville Bar Association (1997-1998) and president of the Webb Center (1999-2000), a non-profit organization serving disabled children and young adults.
McCorvey is a graduate of Stetson University College of Law, where he served as Research Editor on the Stetson Law Review, graduated with honors and was the recipient of the Cecil and Augusta Bailey scholarship award upon graduation for leadership, scholarship and character.
I handle business disputes for successful business people who would rather spend their time making money than fighting in a lawsuit. I’m different because I’m more interested in resolving the dispute than playing the lawsuit game.John McCorvey attends Ortega United Methodist Church with his wife, Karen, and daughter, Anna Grace, and enjoys yoga, fishing and spending time outdoors in his spare time.
