Jacksonville Personal Injury Attorney Profile

About Donald D. Guthrie

A native Southerner, Jacksonville personal injury lawyer Don Guthrie grew up in Florida's panhandle. A former US Army Infantry Major, Don served with distinction as a Platoon leader and Executive Officer in the US Army Berlin Brigade, and as a Company Commander in the 101st Airborne Division. After being honorably discharged, Don returned to his home state and earned his law degree from the University of Florida. He became a licensed attorney, and has accrued over a decade of experience handling personal injury cases.

Currently, Don practices personal injury law in Jacksonville, FL, with a concentration in car accidents, premises liability, and wrongful death cases. Don brings considerable legal experience to his current position, combining the significant courtroom skill he gained through working as an Assistant Public Defender in Duval County; the insider know-how from his job as an insurance defense attorney; and the invaluable expertise he acquired by working in a larger personal injury law firm.

Additionally, Don has served as a volunteer mediator in the State Attorney's Fourth Judicial Circuit Diversionary Program, designed to render speedy justice without involvement in the traditional court system. As a Jacksonville personal injury attorney, he is affiliated with numerous legal professional associations and trial groups, including the Florida Bar Trial Lawyers Section, the Florida Justice Association, and the American Association of Justice.

Don's broad life experience is also a significant asset in many aspects of his law practice; a licensed private pilot, Don flew his first solo flight at the age of 17, giving him a unique and clear understanding of the complex field of aviation injury law. His current aviation memberships and associations include the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).
