Kendall Coffey and Robert Burlington started the firm in 1988 after ten
years at Greenberg Traurig where they were partners in the litigation
group. Mr. Coffey left the firm to serve as United States Attorney for
the Southern District of Florida from 1993 through 1996 and later
re-joined the firm. The attorneys at Coffey Burlington are diverse and
came to the firm from colleges and law schools across the United States
including Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, New
York University, Duke University, University of Pennsylvania, University
of Michigan, University of Florida and University of Miami. Nearly
sixty percent of our lawyers have worked as full-time law clerks for
federal district and appellate court judges in the Sixth Circuit, Ninth
Circuit, Tenth Circuit, Eleventh Circuit, and Southern District of
Florida. More than half of the firm’s lawyers are bilingual.
