As a Personal Injury Trial Lawyer, I’ve dedicated my career to standing up for people who have been injured through no fault of their own. For over twenty years, I’ve been fighting for individuals and families across Florida, helping them rebuild their lives after devastating accidents.
From insurance defense to fighting for the injured
I began my legal career on the other side of the courtroom, representing insurance companies and corporations. For the first decade, I saw firsthand how these corporations operate. I witnessed how they often put profits before people. They use every tactic at their disposal to minimize or deny legitimate claims from hardworking people. Witnessing this injustice changed the course of my life. It made me realize my true calling was to help injury victims. I did not want to protect the interests of big insurance companies anymore.
That experience gave me unique insight into how insurance companies think and operate. As a personal injury trial lawyer, I now use that knowledge to level the playing field for my clients. I know their strategies, and I know how to counter them. This ensures my clients are treated fairly. Moreover, they receive the compensation they deserve.
WHY YOU NEED AN EXPERIENCED PERSONAL INJURY TRIAL LAWYER
When you’re hurt in an accident, you need more than just a lawyer – you need someone who is ready and willing to fight for you all the way. This includes going to trial. Today, unfortunately, many lawyers are not willing to do this. Insurance companies know which lawyers are prepared to take a case to court and which ones will settle for less. As a trial lawyer with experience in personal injury cases, I make it clear from the start that I won’t back down. This, coupled with my 25 years of actual courtroom experience, often leads to better settlement offers for my clients. Nonetheless, if insurance refuses to be fair, I’m fully prepared to present your case before a judge and jury.
I take a hands-on approach to every case. I personally gather all the evidence – medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert opinions. This helps build the strongest possible case. This thorough preparation helps in negotiations and ensures we’re ready for trial, if necessary.
HOW I HELP INJURY VICTIMS AFTER AN ACCIDENT
I understand how overwhelming life can feel after an accident. You’re dealing with pain, stress, and financial uncertainty. My job as a personal injury trial lawyer is to take that burden off your shoulders. As a result, you can focus on healing. Here’s how I help:
- Investigating Your Case: I dig deep to determine exactly what happened and who’s responsible. I make sure every liable party is held accountable.
- Maximizing Your Recovery: I fight to recover every dollar you’re owed. This includes medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Dealing with Insurance Companies: I handle all communications and negotiations with the insurance companies. I shield you from their tactics and pressure.
- No Upfront Costs: You don’t pay me anything unless I win your case. This means you can get top-tier legal representation without worrying about legal fees.
