I have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Ziffra and the other attorneys at Rue & Ziffra for the past 20 years. I can tell you that they have always been very professional and caring for the clients I have had contact with. Really appreciate the community involvement as well !

I am an attorney who has been licensed in good standing before the Florida Bar since 2002. I refer litigation personal injury cases to this firm (as my focus is in on civil defense, divorces, and criminal law). This firm has the financial means to fight insurance companies. This firm is not afraid to file suit to get results. I can also state to other attorneys that Rue and Ziffra protects attorney referral fees. If you are an attorney considering referring a case to another law firm to handle your case, please consider Rue and Ziffra for Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, Social Security, and Worker's Comp.

If it wasn't for Allan Ziffra I don't know where I'd be. Allan did an excellent job on my case from start to finish and got me a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Why settle for less when you can have the best!

Was referred by a close friend who told me that Vasilaros Wagner was the best, he mentioned that though the process may take a while, they take care of everything and if you should get a settlement, it will come when it is needed. It went just as described, there were some people assigned to my case that exceeded my expectations with expertise and compassion, they really took the time to speak with and explain the situation. I would recommend Vasilaros Wagner to any of my friends.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Heidi at Heidi S Webb Attorney at Law. Heidi was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, attentive, informative, pleasant, and especially caring. She took the time to listen and make recommendations based on my needs. Her office staff was dedicated, pleasant, compassionate, and kindhearted. I could not be more pleased with the services I received from Heidi and the professionalism of the office staff.
I highly recommend Heidi to anyone seeking guidance for Wills, Probate, Trusts, and Estate Planning. Thank you so much Heidi and I look forward to working with you in the future as needed.

Did my trust documents with Attorney Larry Sims. This was my first visit to this firm. It was a very efficient visit, Everything was completed in 2 days. I would give 10 stars if I could. I went with Attorney Sims after doing my research. I have no regrets. He was easy to work with, pleasant and the work was done with no delays. He answered all my questions and I had a few. Never felt rushed. If I need a lawyer in the future it will be Larry Sims and his firm. Highly recommend.

After six years, several other attorneys (one REALLY awful one whose false promises and lack of knowledge/experience and experience cost me precious time and $$$), and A LOT of money spent I hired Ted Doran (and his amazing and awesome assistant Dani), in desperation dealing with a very complicated disastrous divorce involving past due/future alimony and businesses. Ted has extensive knowledge and experience in so many facets of law and he is TOUGH and respectful at the same time with the opposing counsel. He is also extremely fair and is not out to pad your bill! I cannot say enough about how happy I am with the TIMELY and positive outcome I finally received because I hired Ted Doran! This attorney will not disappoint! I want to repeat EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE and SUCCESS are key in hiring an attorney to win your case - so Ted Doran is the man!

My journey with Sam Masters began after a car accident that occurred over two years ago. At that time, I had initially intended to handle my dealings with the insurance company on my own. However, as the gravity of my injuries became apparent, I realized I needed legal assistance. My initial choice led me to a large law firm with prominent billboards around town, assuming that their visibility equated to quality service. Unfortunately, I found myself just another faceless client with little access to an attorney.
My attempts to seek clarification on their contract went unanswered, which prompted me to search for an attorney who genuinely cared about my case. After reading numerous reviews, I came across Sam Masters.
When I initially reached out to Sam Masters' office, I was informed that he was away at a conference. However, to my surprise, he personally returned my call within a few hours, taking the time to discuss my case for over 30 minutes. A few days later, during our in-person meeting, he patiently answered all my questions and concerns, assuring me of his continued availability for any future inquiries.
Over the course of two years, Sam Masters and his paralegal, Kerri, consistently lived up to their promise of accessibility. They were responsive and kept me informed about the progress of my case.
Working with Sam Masters was a pleasure. He secured a settlement that far exceeded my initial expectations, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Sam Masters genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being and the success of their cases.
If you are in need of a personal injury attorney in Volusia County, Sam Masters is undoubtedly the best choice.

I felt like my case was handled by a team that genuinely cared about looking out for my best interest and making sure that they had the best possible outcome for me every step of the way. I am grateful for all of the hard work and dedication of Sam and his team.

I highly recommend the law office of Chanfrau & Chanfrau. They represented me during one of the hardest times of my life. No parent expects to bury a child and nothing can prepare a mother for a loss of that magnitude.
Over the span of three years the people in this firm became not only my lawyers, but my friends. It was such a horrible sad time for me and my children and they never lost sight of that. At no time did I feel like I was just another case. I always felt that they understood the devastation that my family had suffered.
They are honest; they always told me the truth but also offered me reassurance when I became overwhelmed with it all. They explained everything to me so I understood what was going on and could make informed decisions. I truly trusted Mr. Chanfrau and his firm and I do not trust easily.
I have never liked attorneys. My past experience with them was that they charged you for everything, sounded good at the beginning, and then you never got past the receptionist. Mr. Chanfrau and his firm changed all that. Everyone in his firm participated in my case. Phone calls were answered promptly and emails answered immediately. They met with me in my home and worked around the schedule of a busy, single working mother. I never once in three years had to call or email about anything more than once. They were amazing.
While my loss was not theirs, they certainly treated me as though they understood how I felt and how my other children felt. I knew that whatever decisions they were making were in my best interest.
I wish things had been different and I had not needed them at all, but the unthinkable happened and I feel blessed that I was directed to Mr. Chanfrau. I would not have wanted to go through the legal process with anyone but him and his firm.

I am proud I was able to be a client of Bill Chanfrau, Sr. I was involved in an automobile accident case and he was able to negotiate an ample award.
He is honest, hard-working, an excellent communicator, and negotiator. His office staff is superb. I cannot provide enough accolades.

In August of 2011, my husband and I were involved in an automobile accident when we were rear ended by a large truck on one of the most heavily traveled highways in our area. Attorney William Chanfrau and his office staff were completely committed to my case from the day I first met in their office. The day of my deposition , with my Attorney at my side,was the turning point in getting this case settled with me being compensated for my injuries which included a major heart attack and the placement of 2 stents in my heart. My husband was ill at the time of the accident and his condition worsened quickly from that day forward. He passed away on October 17, 2013. The very well known large corporation whose name appeared on this truck had this case drag on almost 3 years, but my Attorney worked diligently and the case was settled with me getting the settlement amount I felt I deserved. I would certainly seek help from Attorney William Chanfrau in the future if needed

Kelly Chanfrau is the kindest most caring Attorney you will ever find! She took my case when other Attorneys had no interest at all! I recommend her to anyone needing this type of Attorney. She makes you feel important and along with herself the office staff really makes you feel right at home being a family owned Attorney is great! I was kept apprised every step of the way in my case and I always knew what was going on. Some Attorneys only want cases with big bucks but Kelly never hesitated to take me on even though it was not a real big case, it still mattered to her and like I told her, to me it was all about proving a point, its the principal people need to be held accountable for their actions! And in my case if I helped anyone to see that I have succeeded ! Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have had her on my case but I know Kelly knows! Thanks again Kelly! I'm sure you realize who I am Kelly as my case just got resolved.

Kelly Chanfrau made me feel like a part of her family. She handled my case with the greatest of professionalism while making me feel as though I was her only client. She explained the technical, legal aspects of my case until I completely understood the process. Kelly prepared me not only for my own deposition but also for depositions of others. Kelly showed an amazing sense of humor, especially when the case became stressful. She always kept me informed about the status of my case and what was going to happen next. Kelly repeatedly told me that I was the one who was ultimately in charge of my case. She even gave me a cell phone number where I could reach her while she was ON VACATION!! Who does that for their clients? No other professional that I have had contact with or need for has ever gone to this extreme to be available to me. Kelly Chanfrau was and still is there for me. She has challenged the stereotype of the word, "lawyer", and has changed my perception of what a lawyer is and should be.
She will always hold a very special place in my heart, as well as the hearts of my family members. I thank God that I was led to her when I had a legal need. She has blessed me and my family in a mighty way. I must also mention her staff members who reached out to me and were always quick to take my calls and extend a helping hand. In closing, I highly recommend Chanfrau & Chanfrau. Attorneys and Counselors at Law.

Kelly was extremely thoughtful and understanding and took the time to listen to my situation and to advise me as to the best course of action for me. She was concerned about my well being and made it very plain to me that she would represent me to the very best of her ability.
I would recommend Kelly to anyone and reassure them that she could teach a class on professional ethics. She is dedicated to her profession and strives to change the way the general public feels about lawyers.

A first class criminal defense lawyer who is the best in the business. I hired this guy for a family member, on the day after Thanksgiving in 2023, and after following the process and facts that they laid out over 9 months, my family member with no prior criminal record got the results he wanted. His associate John Trehune was a gift from God. Because of his 40 years experience and Aaron Delgado’s reputation with the court system, relationship building and correct guidance to follow the process, my family member received a fair trial. Was it everything I wanted….No! My expectations are very high. Having said that, the outcome was a win and we could not be more pleased with the money spent. Just like everything in life, you get what you pay for. Don’t waste your time hiring and searching for the best criminal defense attorney in town. Call this man and talk to him, then hire him and be patient following the process. The outcome will be a WIN!

Mr. Russell represented me a few years ago when I was a victim of a hit and run. At the time I had been insured with the same insurance company for almost 30 years. I had never had a claim before and believed my insurance company would cover my injuries. Unfortunately that was not the case. With Mr. Russell's help, my insurance company was forced to do the right thing. I have recommended him for many years to family and friends and continue to do so.

I have known Corey Bundza for nearly thirty years. In addition to being someone with integrity who genuinely cares about the outcome for his clients, he is also the peer and colleague I turn to on a consistent basis whenever I have a legal question outside my areas of expertise. He is an excellent advocate for clients with an outstanding reputation among all of his legal peers. Over the years I have had the ability to confer with Mr. Bundza on very complicated matters and his insight is always invaluable. Anyone seeking a strong advocate and a high level of representation can find it with this attorney. I highly recommend him!

Mr. Bundza helped me recover needed money from a personal injury case that took forever to settle! He was extremely helpful. Corey always spoke to me directly and always answered my questions with the correct answers. I was never "pawned" off on his paralegal and he was more like a friend than an attorney.
I freely admit that I am a very "high-strung" individual and I have a fierce temper but Corey was very tolerant, understanding and helpful. His practice and my place of employment have dealings with each other that have nothing to do with personal injury and we were able to keep everything separated professionally.
Corey would be my first choice of an attorney to hire if I ever have another personal injury case. If he gives me any suggestions or advise I would never second guess his suggestion! He and his staff are awesome!

I have used Eric Neitzke for years. For my divorce and then again for my visitation modification. I've also sent him cases, whenever a friend needs a good lawyer. He's an absolute perfectionist and honest to a fault. He takes his time to ensure that a client understands every aspect of their case from start to finish. Never have I ever received such personal and dedicated attention from a lawyer. Even when I came to Mr. Neitzke with a matter that was outside his field of law, he connected me with another lawyer that he felt would help me to my satisfaction. Absolutely one of the best lawyers in town and would recommend him to anybody!

Mr. Nietzke is truly a man of integrity, this making him an attorney with integrity. He fought in and out of the court room for not only me, but for my minor son. He took on my divorce case when others wouldn't and stayed with me thoughout the most harrowing case ever (even though I was at times a difficult client).
He saw me through until the end when I was finally awarded an extremely fair and air-tight judgement.
I would most certainly hire him again although I'm not so sure he would accept.

A first class criminal defense lawyer who is the best in the business. I hired this guy for a family member, on the day after Thanksgiving in 2023, and after following the process and facts that they laid out over 9 months, my family member with no prior criminal record got the results he wanted. His associate John Trehune was a gift from God. Because of his 40 years experience and Aaron Delgado’s reputation with the court system, relationship building and correct guidance to follow the process, my family member received a fair trial. Was it everything I wanted….No! My expectations are very high. Having said that, the outcome was a win and we could not be more pleased with the money spent. Just like everything in life, you get what you pay for. Don’t waste your time hiring and searching for the best criminal defense attorney in town. Call this man and talk to him, then hire him and be patient following the process. The outcome will be a WIN!

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
