Osborne & Francis, PLLC is a Florida law firm representing injured Floridians in a wide range of personal injury cases. We hold a national reputation in product liability and civil rights, including a $1.2 billion settlement on behalf of black farmers.
We offer personal injury victims a boutique style experience, while still providing the resources and aggressive legal representation of a large firm. Due to our size and selectivity with cases, we can deliver a more personal experience to our clients.
As one of Florida’s only black-owned law firms, our aim is to treat our clients with dignity, respect, and significance. No matter their socioeconomic or racial background, they matter to us. We seek out the underrepresented and marginalized of our communities to give back and invest in their health, education, and success.
We place a higher priority on our client’s well-being than just obtaining a quick settlement. At Osborne & Francis, we understand that our work impacts the laws and policies that form the foundation of our communities. We will do the right thing in each situation to act in our client’s best interest.
Osborne & Francis was founded in 2015 with the goal of providing aggressive and thorough legal representation for the underdog. We understand what it takes to go up against large, multi-million dollar corporations in order to bring justice for our clients.
We represent injured Floridians who have suffered personal injury from an auto accident, medical malpractice, consumer product, or other forms of negligence. These are your everyday citizens who may not have the resources, knowledge, or ability to go up against large entities that have caused them harm due to violations or wrongdoings.
At Osborne & Francis, we work resolutely and do whatever it takes to get the job done. We never back down or ease up until our clients receive the full amount they are due under the law. Our work benefits both the individual through the appropriate legal remedies and the community as a whole through relevant changes in law and policy.
Integrity is a mainstay and guidepost throughout our practice — we will do what’s right, no matter how difficult it is, in order to achieve our client’s best interest.

Osborne & Francis attorney Greg Francis served as lead counsel for the team of lawyers that went up against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in a historic case. The team reached a $1.25 billion settlement with the USDA on behalf of black farmers from around the country.
The case showed how tens of thousands of black farmers suffered systematic and repeated discrimination at the hands of the USDA from 1981 through 1996. During that period, black farmers were allegedly denied loans, subsidies, and other benefits provided to white farmers.
As a result of the settlement, more than 33,000 individual black farmers or their heirs received payments of $50,000, plus an additional payment of $12,500 paid to the Internal Revenue Service to cover the taxes owed on the awarded amount. This is the largest civil rights settlement in U.S. history.
Francis has compiled lessons from his experience litigating the lawsuit for a new book, titled “Just Harvest.”
Attorney Joseph Osborne was part of a trial team that secured a groundbreaking federal court verdict against Boston Scientific regarding injuries from the Pinnacle mesh device. Jurors awarded Osborne’s client Amal Eghnayem more than $6.7 million. Additionally, Boston Scientific Corp. was ordered to pay $26.7 million to the group of women who were injured by the products.
The verdict is the first in a federal case against Boston Scientific over the Pinnacle inserts and the first to combine more than one plaintiff’s claims.
