2024 Elite Lawyers: Gregory Noonan, Partner

The Corry Law Firm

Growing up, Gregory Noonan liked to argue a point. He put this skill to good use, following his sister’s path and attending law school. Today, Noonan works for the betterment of the Tallahassee community, representing plaintiffs in personal injury and wrongful death cases.

Noonan spent his early life in Albany, New York, making his way to the Sunshine State via a golf scholarship from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. He made his way to North Florida to attend Florida State University’s law school. Remaining in Tallahassee, he practiced law at firms concentrating on general civil litigation and criminal defense before joining The Corry Law Firm in 2009.

Throughout his career, Noonan has received multiple recognitions. In 2013, he received the Tallahassee Bar Association’s Tom Ervin, Jr. Most Distinguished Young Lawyer Award. The following year, he was recognized as a National Trial Lawyer in the Top 100 Trial Lawyers for civil plaintiff work.

From 2020 to 2021, he served as president of the Tallahassee Bar Association, and he has also served as president of the Capital City Justice Association.

Noonan credits much of his success to the influence of his firm partner, William Corry. The two lead the firm with a client-first mentality.

“We treat each client the same regardless of the case type or value,” said Noonan. “Operating this way makes clients feel comfortable because they know they will receive the truth from us and that we have their best interests at heart.”

The firm largely exists because of client referrals and repeat clients, assuring the practice that they are doing right by each case.

At The Corry Law Firm, clients are not passed along to other staff members; they always meet with their lawyer, who can best address and assess their case. Although much of their work occurs in office meetings and courtrooms, their impact often continues after.

Recently, an elderly client totaled her car. Without family nearby, Noonan offered to accompany her on test drives to find her next vehicle.

Outside of cultivating relationships with his clients, his most important relationships are with his wife and two sons. He and his wife coach a boys’ soccer team, and the family enjoys running together.

“The cases we deal with are often challenging, but even more so, they are rewarding,” said Noonan. “When we put the client first, we always know we’ve made the right decision.”
