Before joining Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, Rebecca L. Larson was a partner in the firm of Montgomery & Larson, where she had practiced with the late – and esteemed - Robert M. Montgomery for more than two decades. That firm gained global attention for its work in obtaining the landmark verdict against the tobacco industry for the State of Florida, as well as winning countless multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of victims of negligence.

Before practicing with Montgomery, Ms. Larson was law clerk for the late U.S. District Judge Norman C. Roettger in the Southern District of Florida. She received her J.D. Magna Cum Laude from Mercer University, where she graduated first in her class and was named “Outstanding Graduate” in 1986. She further distinguished herself in law school by serving as a member of the editorial board for the Mercer Law Review. She has been included in Florida Super Lawyers, which is limited to no more than 5 percent of the state’s lawyers.

Most of her cases involve personal injury, medical malpractice and wrongful death claims, although she is also skilled in complex commercial litigation. Ms. Larson takes special pleasure in representing children and the elderly. She has successfully represented babies who have been brain damaged during labor and delivery. These positive results have allowed these children the best quality of life possible following the tragic circumstances surrounding their births. Among her most notable cases is a $24 million verdict against the manufacturer of the handgun that killed Barry Grunow, a middle school teacher. That pioneer verdict inspired a trend toward safer gun designs that has helped save lives.

Ms. Larson lives with her husband and son in Singer Island, Fl.
