It is with great sadness and regret that Ferraro Law announces the passing of shareholder and partner David A. Jagolinzer.
Mr. Jagolinzer was born in 1974 in Providence, Rhode Island where he grew up in Cranston with his parents and brother. He attended the University of Miami School of Law, graduating in 1999 with a Juris Doctor degree. His passion for Italy motivated him to learn and speak fluent Italian and he interned in Milan during law school before permanently calling Miami home.
He was a valued and respected litigator and helped establish Ferraro Law’s reputation for excellence and client-centric care through his avid focus on handling complex cases involving victims of mesothelioma and other catastrophic injuries. He truly cared about his work and treated each person in his professional network, both colleagues and clients, with compassion, fairness, and understanding.
“First and foremost, I think I’m a father, I’m a trial lawyer, I believe strongly in family and our values which allows us to develop a team of lawyers dedicated to representing people.” – David Jagolinzer
Mr. Jagolinzer was a valued speaker and educator, having taught many classes and seminars on areas of law, including asbestos litigation and product liability. Throughout his career, he successfully obtained hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients in trials and pre-trial settlements. His victories as an attorney earned him numerous accomplishments and accolades, including membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum®, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum®, inclusion in the Florida Super Lawyers® Rising Star™ list in 2011, and selection by the DBR as a 2008 finalist for Most Effective Lawyer in Product Liability Cases.
Mr. Jagolinzer was devoted to his family and friends. He lived in Miami with his wife and two daughters. He loved spending time and traveling with his parents and family. In his time away from the office, he could be found cooking, spending time at the beach, and devoting quality time to his wife and daughters. His love for his family was evident, and he cherished their time spent together.
Giving back to his community and organizations he worked with throughout his career as an attorney held a special place in his heart. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in David’s honor to the following charities:
- Mission 22, 694 N Larch St, Sisters, OR 97759
- Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation, 1615 L Street NW, Suite 430, Washington, DC 20036
- Best Buddies, 100 Southeast Second St, Suite 2200, Miami, FL 33131

David Jagolinzer’s passion and dedication to his family, the legal profession, his clients, and Ferraro Law will forever cement his legacy. His spirit and kindness will be dearly missed.

Not too long ago I picked up the phone and called the Ferraro Law Firm not quite knowing what to expect. From the moment I reached out, the team made me feel heard and taken care of — not just like another case walking through the door.
Nikki Hurtado was my first primary contact. After speaking with her I knew that I had picked the right firm. She walked me through the process in plain understandable language. Even after numerous calls, she never made me feel like I was asking too many questions, and I always felt confident that my case was in expert hands.
My litigator was Daniel Di Matteo. If there was ever anyone that you would want by your side in a court of law, it would be him. He was everything that you would want in an attorney—calm, cool, always prepared, communicative and most importantly–experienced. He knew everything that was going to happen before it occurred but was prepared for any contingency. He is a fantastic attorney.
What really set them apart was their communication. I was kept informed at every stage — no chasing down updates, no wondering what was happening with my case. Calls and emails were returned promptly, and they proactively reached out whenever there was a development.
The professionalism of the entire team — from the attorneys to the support staff — was exceptional. Everyone I interacted with was kind, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my well-being, not just the outcome of my case.
And the outcome? Better than I could have hoped for. They fought hard on my behalf and secured a result that truly reflected the impact this injury had on my life.
You could ask for no better firm or attorney.

What truly stood out was his ability to navigate complex situations with confidence and deliver results that exceeded my expectations. He was not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely committed to protecting my best interests.
If you’re looking for an attorney who is sharp, responsive, and truly operates at a high level, I highly recommend him without any hesitation.
