The Florida Justice Association held its holiday reception at the Grotto Wine & Tapas Bar on November 19, 2007. More than 75 members turned out to help the FJA kick off the holiday season. Howard Coker made a special presentation on behalf of the North Florida Trial Lawyers to Wayne Hogan, honoring him with the prestigious “Spartans at Thermopylae” award, for his unwavering dedication to preserving the civil justice system. According to Howard Coker, “Wayne Hogan is always the first and strongest to stand up for for the civil justice system.”
