Judd P. Koenig was born in Livingston, New Jersey. He has been practicing exclusively in the area of Workers' Compensation law throughout his career. He began by representing the interests of employers and insurance companies for nearly four years, which allowed him to gain invaluable experience and insight into how these companies operate. Now that he fights for employee's rights, he always seems to be one step ahead of the opposition in his aggressive pursuit of benefits for injured workers throughout Florida. Mr. Koenig prides himself on being incredibly professional, detail oriented, and persistent.
Mr. Koenig received his undergraduate degree in 1997 from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2000, he graduated with Honors from The University of Florida College of Law. At the end of 2003, while still doing insurance defense work, Mr. Koenig realized that his core fundamental values strongly conflicted with the interests of insurance companies. Immediately thereafter, Mr. Koenig ceased his representation of insurance companies and began representing injured workers.
In response to changes in Florida's Workers' Compensation law, Mr. Koenig created the 2003 Quick Guide to Workers' Compensation Law, a reference tool that is used by attorneys, adjusters, employers and mediators throughout the State of Florida.
Mr. Koenig is actively involved in the Palm Beach County Bar Association's Lawyers for Literacy program and the Mock Trial Competition. Mr. Koenig enjoys spending as much time as he can with his family.

It is my pleasure to know Judd. My office has referred several clients to him, and his firm has acted swiftly to help them. Highly recommended!
Jeffrey Adelman, Workers compensation Attorney on Oct 27, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Judd is a tireless advocate for his clients. I have sent numerous clients to him for worker's compensation matters over the years and Judd and his partner Eli Franks have gotten great results. Judd is very personable and bright, and he and his firm make sure that their clients needs are met. As a personal injury attorney, sometimes a client can have a personal injury case as well as a worker's compensation claim at the same time. I feel confident that when I send a client to Franks and Koenig, that they are going to get great service, and that is why I continue to refer. I highly recommend Judd Koenig.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have practiced with and against many lawyers in differing venues over my fifteen years of practice. Judd stands out as one of the finest. It is unusual to find the correct mix of aggressive client advocacy and respect for party opponents and counsel which Judd possesses. He manages to zealously prosecute cases for his clients while maintaining an appropriate level of respect for the Court and his opponents. His knowledge of the law is comprehensive and his clients should count themselves lucky to have him on their side. He is highly recommended.
Corey Leifer, Workers compensation Attorney on Jan 2, 2011

Judd is an excellent lawyer who has the experience and resources to handle all complex wotrkers compensation matters all the way through trial. My firm does not handle workers comp matters and I have sent many clients to Judd and his partner, including some cases that we have worked on together with my office handling a third party claim. Anyone who has been injured on the job will not find a better lawyer than Judd to represent their interests in all workers comp matters. I endorse him and his law firm without reservation.
Marshall Rosenbach, Workers compensation Attorney on May 11, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Judd is an expert in workers compensation. Whenever I have a client or know someone who suffers a work related injury, Judd is the first person I call to get his opinion on the case. I am very comfortable knowing that when I refer someone to Judd, he will take great care of them and help to maximize their recovery. I highly endorse Judd's work.
