Having never gone through the personal injury process before, we required a bit more hand holding I expect. Katy took the time to work us through the process with a final result that was above our expectation.

Beware of this law office. I was referred to the Ocala office for an employment case spoke to Nanette. I called them to discuss a very good case that I have that another attorney was going to take but could not do it because he was suing the same company. This law office wants to charge clients $200 for a consultation to see if the attorney will take your case, an attorney that works on a commission base should never charge a consultation fee do not fall for these scams. It is not standard practice to charge a client who is going to hire attorney on a commission base. We are interviewing the attorney you are not interviewing us.. The other attorney spent 45 minutes on the phone with me. Actually it was his paralegal and I was not charged a dime and the new attorney that I hired today did not charge me a consultation fee. I think you make your money by charging consultation fees, not by winning cases.
