Mr. Egan understands the risks, costs, and uncertainties parties face when litigation proceeds toward trial and verdict.

He has served as an adjunct professor at Florida A&M University College of Law and Barry University School of Law and is a frequent lecturer for bar associations, legal organizations, judges, and court personnel.
