Overview

Prior Experience

Before joining the firm, Blake served as a judicial law clerk to the Hon. Sheri Polster Chappell and the Hon. Nicholas Mizell of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, where he worked on a wide range of complex civil matters, including novel tort claims and class actions.
