His notable results have earned him #1 ranking on the Jury Verdict Round-Up “Top Medical Malpractice Verdicts of 2014” and the Daily Business Review “Verdicts Hall of Fame” Award in 2015. One of his landmark cases resulted in a $20M jury verdict in favor of his client, Darian Wisekal, who died of cervical cancer due to a medical misdiagnosis in which the lab failed to accurately read her pap smear results.
Mr. Domnick has earned Florida Bar Board Certification, which is the highest level of recognition by the Florida Bar for competency and experience within civil trial law.

Beyond his professional success, Mr. Domnick has a distinguished record of leadership rooted in his commitment to professional service. In addition to his AAJ leadership, he is a Past President of the Palm Beach County Justice Association and the Miami-Dade Trial Lawyers Association. He has served on the Board of the Florida Justice Association since 1996 and plays an instrumental role in mentoring lawyers across the nation.
Mr. Domnick received both his Juris Doctorate and undergraduate degree from the University of Florida.
“For serious injuries, Sean Domnick and Fred Cunningham are about as good of attorneys as you can find not just in Florida, but in the nation. Their 7 and 8 figure verdicts and settlements speak for themselves. But they are incredible people as well and are always willing to give back to the profession as well as the community. I am a personal injury attorney, and I do not hesitate to send serious products liability, medical malpractice and wrongful death cases to them. If I were to unfortunately need services like this, I would hire them myself. I wholeheartedly recommend this firm. Terrific lawyers and people.”
