Trial Attorney

Curry Pajcic

Curry Pajcic joined The Law Firm of Pajcic & Pajcic in 1998 after working four years as a prosecutor in the State Attorney's Office. Curry has tried well over 100 cases and has achieved multiple million dollar recoveries. Curry is a strong believer in giving back to the community whether it's through his church, the many boards he serves on, or his time spent in coaching youth leagues. He wanted to practice law to make a difference in people's lives.

Curry is passionate about everything he does - and he's the kind of person you want to have on your side. In his high school days, he was the Athlete of the Year in Duval County, having served as captain of his high school football, basketball and baseball teams.

Curry is a natural in the courtroom, too, where as a prosecutor he was given the Jury Trial Award in 1997 for the highest number of jury trials in the State Attorney's Office. His final year as an Assistant State Attorney was in the repeat offender court, where he prosecuted some of the most dangerous criminals in the area.

Curry was named to the National Trial Lawyers list of Top 100 Trial Lawyers in 2014 and to the Florida Super Lawyers list in 2018. He was recently a finalist for U.S. Attorney in the Middle District of Florida. He serves as President of the Jacksonville chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates, where his father Gary was once President. Curry is also a Board Certified Specialist in Civil Trial Law. The rigorous requirements for Board Certification limit the number of lawyers that are able to attain that distinction.

Personal Interests

Curry loves spending time with his wife Annie and their four children. Traveling with family and friends is a great joy. He especially enjoys hiking and horseback riding on a dude ranch in Wyoming. He plays golf and is an avid Florida State fan.

Curry serves on the Board of Trustees of Dreams Come True and Riverside Presbyterian Day School. He is also on the board and coaches in the Navy Ortega Lakeshore Little League. He is an Elder and Sunday school teacher at St. Johns Presbyterian Church.
