About

For more than 30 years, my legal staff and I have represented a broad spectrum of clients. We typically represent CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CIOs, HR Directors, Physicians, Medical Device Professionals, Hospital Administrators, Senior Management and many others from Fortune 500 Companies. We have represented our clients in State and Federal courts not only in Jacksonville, but also in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Key West, and other towns and cities in Florida and throughout the Southeast.I moved to Jacksonville after graduating from law school at UF in Gainesville. I began my legal career working for a large law firm which represented  Fortune 500 corporations. That experience led me to start my own firm in 1985, representing employees who have been illegally discriminated against on the job and/or wrongfully terminated. As it has evolved, our practice now focuses on very highly compensated individuals.With regard to our intake process, when you contact us we will initially ask you to complete an online intake form which I designed so that we can quickly determine whether there is a legal issue that we may be able to assist you with.  If so, we will offer to schedule an appointment to meet with you.  The intake form can be completed at our firm's website: http://www.FortuneLegal.com.We initially charge an hourly fee to carefully evaluate your case. We will thoroughly review the available evidence and if there is a good faith basis to prosecute your claim, we will discuss the best way to handle the case going forward, with regard to attorneys' fees and expenses.  Typically, we require a retainer and require that the client pay his or her own out-of-pocket expenses, or “costs,” going forward. The retainer covers a small portion of our fees with the balance being contingent on our making a recovery on your behalf, on a contingent fee basis. These terms can be discussed during or after the initial consultation, once I know more about your particular circumstances.  All of these terms are also explained in writing.We never agree to represent more than a handful of clients at any given time because we don't want to compromise the quality of care that we provide on behalf of each of our clients.  I am personally involved in and responsible for all our cases, from start to finish.  All of these matters are explained in greater detail on our firm's website at: www.FortuneLegal.com. Our office is located on A1A (also called "3rd Street"), between Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard, near A1A's intersection with 17th Avenue North, in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

I can't say enough good things about Scott Fortune and Fortune Law. Right from the start of my interaction with Fortune Law, Scott and his staff displayed a high level of professionalism, and an approach that sincerely put the best interests of his client first, above all. Through my engagement with Fortune Law, Scott's work fully demonstrated the rigor, dedication and focus that I was hoping to find in an attorney which was needed to resolve my matter. Fortune Law helped to bring my situation to resolution.

Going to an attorney can be a very emotional and intimidating experience. Scott and his entire staff are extremely personable, responsive, and professional. They made the entire process as painless as possible and always explained everything in a manner which was easy to understand. Scott is thorough and thoughtful with his answers and advice. I always felt he put my best interests first. I can highly recommend Scott Fortune as an ethical, honest, and trustworthy attorney who will be aggressive in getting timely and appropriate results for his clients.

This was as they say "my first rodeo". Scott Fortune was everything I hoped for and more. Scott was patient and yet forward thinking and metaphorical in his handling of my case. Scott is hands own and will ask AND ask the questions to insure 100% clarity prior to moving forward with any information or facts.. Scott came highly recommended to me within my trade industry. Can not thank him enough. He is the Best!

Scott provided excellent guidance to secure a reasonable settlement. He is highly experienced in employment law, is honest, and possesses great negotiation skills. I would recommend Scott to anyone in a similar situation.

Scott took the time to explain the legal process to me in detail. He walked me through each step and advised me along the way. I found him to be honest and easy to communicate with.

Mr. Fortune is knowledge in Labor Law and was most adroit in dealing with the twist and turns legal actions bring. He is easy to speak with and expains complicated case law in understandable language.

Scott and his staff have been diligently handling a case for me in the most proficient and professional fashion possible. Scott is a brilliant attorney, as well as being a wonderful human being. Scott’s tremendous knowledge and strong adversary skills place him in the position he needs to be in at just the right time. With a serious injury such as mine, loss of right knee, I feel so blessed to have him represent me during this unfortunate and difficult time in my life. I would recommend Scott to anyone needing a personal injury attorney!
