Recover with confidence. I handle the legal fight so you can focus on healing.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to someone else's negligence or intentional harm, you deserve an attorney who will stand up for your rights. I understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that injuries take, and I work to pursue the full compensation Florida law allows.
From car accidents to slip and fall injuries, premises liability, and civil assault claims, I handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on what matters most: your recovery.
Whether you were rear-ended, hit by a distracted driver, or involved in a multi-vehicle collision, I fight to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. If you were injured due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, or other hazards, you may be entitled to compensation.
When negligent property maintenance, inadequate security, or dangerous conditions cause injury, I hold property owners accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Victims of assault and battery can pursue civil claims for damages regardless of the outcome of any criminal case. I help you seek justice and financial recovery for the harm you have suffered.

No attorney's fees unless we recover for you. You may still be responsible for case costs.

I keep you informed and prepared throughout your case.
For most injury claims based on negligence, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit in Florida (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a)). The 2023 tort reform law, HB 837, cut this from four years for claims that arose after March 24, 2023. Some claims follow different rules. Claims against a government agency have extra notice steps (Fla. Stat. § 768.28(6)), and medical malpractice and product cases have their own deadlines under Fla. Stat. § 95.11. Save your evidence and talk with a lawyer early so you do not miss a deadline.
You may still recover, but your share of the blame matters. Since 2023, Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule (Fla. Stat. § 768.81(6)). If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover damages. If you are 50% at fault or less, your damages are reduced by your share. For example, if you are 20% at fault, your award is cut by 20%. Before 2023, Florida let injured people recover even when they were mostly at fault, so older advice online may be out of date. The evidence you save after an accident affects how fault is decided.
Depending on your case, recoverable damages typically include medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. Punitive damages are rare. They may be available when there is clear and convincing evidence of intentional misconduct or gross negligence (Fla. Stat. § 768.72), and Florida caps them in most cases (Fla. Stat. § 768.73). I review your case to identify every type of damages Florida law allows you to claim.
Most personal injury cases settle through negotiation without a trial. If the insurance company will not make a fair offer, the next step may be filing a lawsuit, and some cases go to trial. I will explain your options at each stage, and the decision to settle is always yours.
Yes, if you want to use your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. Florida's no-fault law requires you to get initial medical care within 14 days of the crash (Fla. Stat. § 627.736(1)(a)). If you miss that window, your PIP insurer can deny the claim. See a doctor even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up days later.
