About Robert
Biography
I focus my practice on civil commercial litigation, including title insurance, construction defect, real property, and property insurance claims. I grew up in South Florida, and after living other places, including serving overseas in the Army Intelligence Corps, I moved back to Miami, which is a great city in which to live and work, and raise children. Having studied in Spain and lived in Panama, I am fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I enjoy running and triathlons in my spare time.

Claim closed
Mr. Briggs took a denied claim and turned it in to a positive with a 100% success. My insurance company had denied damages from Hurricane Irma and Mr. Briggs took the claim to the end with a settlement that I never thought to see. My thanks to him and Morgan and Morgan for their services.
Robert Edson Briggs Jr.'s Lawyer Endorsements
"As a Partner at Ferrell Schultz, I watched Edson as a young litigation attorney. He has grown and matured as a lawyer and now a husband and father of 2 children. Time flies. He has the highest ethics, including an old fashioned work ethic that puts the needs of his clients above his own."
