Mr. Portigliatti is taking my case to trial this week. I am so appreciative that he believed in my case and has taken the time to listen and appreciate all the hurt and harm I suffered in this crash. The insurance company has denied everything for 5 yrs. No matter what happens at trial, I am fortunate to find Mr. Portigliatti.

Ms. Plata is an exceptionally fine attorney who represented our son in a juvenile matter which had serious consequences. Ms. Plata's dedication to our son's case we consider above and beyond our expectations with an outcome much better than anticipated. If you wish to have an attorney that has compassion for their client and truly cares I would highly recommend her firm for any of your legal matters.

Working with Ms. Plata was THE best experience I have had. This was my first time needing an attorney so I was a bit nervous but she made the experience easy and quick. She started working on my case the next day and communicated with me every step of the way so I wasn't confused on anything. I would definitely use Ms. Plata again and recommend her to everyone! If I could give more stars I would, 5 is just not enough!

Robert was awesome to work with. My case took years to resolve and i never felt out of the loop. I could always get ahold of him through text, calls, or emails. He took what we needed into account and always made sure we were able to get the treatment we needed for our injuries. In the long run we were able to settle right as the trial started and we are happy to have our future treatment and more secure. Such a weight is off our shoulders and we have Robert and everyone else at his firm that helped to thank for it. I would highly recommend having this firm fight for you because I've seen how they fought for me and my brother. Thank you guys again!

Attorney Stephen Kelly displays knowledge and confidence that warrants respect just in his voice. He ask questions to insure he understands the full situation, investigates the facts and responds to the client with dignity. His strong ethics allow you to trust that he will represent you/your loved one according to the plan that has been discussed. His fees were reasonable. He was very professional and responsive giving the personal attention needed. He gave me the peace of mind I needed since I was out of town. I would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Mr.Kelly at a time that was very much needed I was facing ten years and I was also dealing with a lawyer who was telling me and my family fictional stories about my case. Mr. Kelly came in with a right mitigation package got me down to a two and a half years of house arrest/probation I am so thankful for the work that he did. And I look up to him he is a very upstanding person and inspirational man.

I have used this firm twice now and the first case completely won me over. Every one knows me on a first name basis. Constantly communicating with their clients thru the process. I have used other firms and despite their empty promises they didn’t compare to the professionalism and honesty that I have received with this firm.
A particular shout out to Jordan Beard who will go the extra mile at any cost for his clients. Reassuring me that I’ve chosen the right group of attorneys to reapers sent me to their very best capabilities!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND RONALD SCHOOLS LAW FIRM TO ANY ONE TRYING TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION OF WHO TO HAVE REPRESENT YOU!

Attorneys Ron Sholes and Blair Butler at Ron Sholes P.A. fought to get a terrific auto accident recovery for me of $125,000. I am thrilled. I believe other firms may have settled for less, but I witnessed how Ron and Blair fight tooth and nail every step of the way for their clients in Jacksonville to get the maximum recovery for auto accidents. Ron and Blair stayed on top of my auto accident case and communicated with me every step of the way. Both Ron and Blair even gave me their cell phone numbers right up front--Wow! Everyone worked to provide an excellent experience and a great recovery. I will definitely recommend Ron Sholes P.A. to my family, friends, and coworkers for auto accidents and any other legal areas that the firm practices. I would give them 10 Gold Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if I could. I guess I just did.

My company was downsizing and as a senior employee at retirement age, I lost my job. Knowing that I could not continue paying the high-cost permanent alimony that the court ordered years ago, I needed help. Remembering that a friend highly recommended Attorney Bill Dorsey, I scheduled a consultation. There was a fee, but it was worth it because “you get what you pay for”.
I hired Bill and I am extremely fortunate that I did. He led throughout the entire process, and was assisted by team members Sue and Erica. When you hire The Dorsey Law Firm, they are genuinely interested in your case and are extremely helpful. Requests were promptly managed, and the team ALWAYS kept me informed on the status of current proceedings or actions. Impressive!
At Mediation, a remarkably successful resolution was reached. I could not be happier!
Bill Dorsey is Outstanding! YOU NEED his subject knowledge and strategic recommendations. If you want the best outcome for any court issue, call Bill Dorsey.

Mr Dorsey and his team helped dig me out of the messy trench my last 2 lawyers had left me in. I can’t begin to explain how bad my first few lawyers had screwed up my case and made me look bad against an abusive drug addict narcissist who could charm the pant suit off Hilary Clinton. Mr Dorsey took on my case and for the first time I actually felt like I could trust my lawyer. Unlike my last attorney who charged me an insane amount of money to screw me over, Mr Dorsey gave me a free consultation and always charged me honestly and fairly. He gave me his personal cell number for emergencies and him and his team were always very responsive to my calls and emails. He fought tooth and nail against one of the most dishonest and corrupt opposing councils I have ever seen! He is well known and honored around Jacksonville and St Augustine by many other esteemed lawyers and judges.
If you are in need of a good, honest attorney who will fight for you as if you were his own family, you need to hire Bill Dorsey and his team. He is tough and does not give up. Believe me, I probably had the largest case file he had ever taken on in a civil case and he took the time to go over all of it so he didn’t miss a thing. He is stern but honest so listen to his advice because he knows what he is talking about. I can only say that about 1 other lawyer and I have met way more than I ever wanted to.
If you are like me and can’t trust your lawyer and have been paying someone and trusting them with your life but all they seem to do is ignore you and take your money: HIRE BILL DORSEY and he will help you get your life (your child/children) back!

No one really wants to go through any family/custody battles. So when I was faced with this issues I had no choice but to retain an attorney. After numerous hours/days of research I found the Dorsey Law Firm.
I came to Mr. Dorsey with a lot of uncertainty with my impending custody case. During my consultation Mr. Dorsey was fully tuned in and very attentive. He answered every question I had very confidently. After I retained Mr. Dorsey, his team and himself started working on the case promptly. They filed an emergency motion and was able to get a hearing for temporary custody within a few weeks. I was granted temporary custody until the outcome of the final hearing.
In Preparation for the final hearing Mr. Dorsey and the team were with me every step of the way. They reassured me of the potential outcome, instilled confidence in myself and the direction of the case. During the final hearing Mr. Dorsey was very thorough, firm, and fully prepared. His cross examination skills, rebuttals, presentation, and delivery was superb.
As a result, I was grant 75% percent of time sharing. I have never felt better and once again I was stress free.
Mr. Dorsey is Very professional and has many years of experience with a great rapport with the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys. He’s very firm, straightforward, and passionate about his work and clients. He is well known and well respected amongst his peers. His resume speaks for itself.
A big shout out to The Dorsey team. Susan and Heather. They are very hard working, detail oriented, & very professional. They truly care about people.
Stop shopping for attorneys based on price. Mr. Dorsey is the Best Bang for The Buck. He is my guy!!!!!!

I had a very serious injury that was due to someone else’s negligence. I was not sure I had a case so I called Doug who was referred to me by another attorney that I have used previously. When I spoke to him on the phone he said he would come to my house the next day since he knew I was recovering from the surgery. I didn’t expect him to show up nor did I feel hopeful about my situation. Doug showed up at my house and took the time to hear my story. Long story short he stuck through a long process of courts being shutdown due to COVID 19 etc.... He was able to get me a settlement by providing evidence of negligence against the other party. I am very happy and blessed to have Doug as my attorney.

I have been using Paul and his law firm since 2005. Paul is a straight shooter and gets the job done. He has no problem with chewing on the workers compensation insuarance reps. If you are in the right on with your injury claim, he will be in your corner 100%. He gets results. I’m happy that He has been my attorney all of these years. I’d put Paul and his firm up against any other attorney that Deals with Longshoremens and Harbor Workers Compensation attorney in Florida or any other place.

First off I would like to start by saying the reason for the 5 star review is because 6 stars is not an option! Paul and his staff are the most dedicated team I have ever seen. They stood by my side for over 2 years. If they tell you they are going to do something it gets done, that simple! It is uncommon these days to find people that truly care about their clients, not just after the all mighty dollar. If you need someone that will fight for you, and that isn't scared to stand up to other attorneys then this is the group of people you want in your corner. Great job Paul, Christina, and staff! I will always be thankful for your commitment!

Carolyn Wagner represented me during an unusually difficult divorce. My ex cycled through four separate attorneys between the divorce, child custody and financial disputes. She was essentially responsible for bring each of these new players up to speed with what had already transpired. I am certain that it was frustrating for her. Yet she never wavered. She was a picture of professionalism, kept me continually informed, never hesitated to answer my questions, and always returned my calls promptly. I was made to feel that my problems were her problems as well. She showed empathy and a personal interest in my case. I am not an easy person to impress. She impressed me. I will continue to use her for any future legal needs and have happily recommended her to my closest friends and family.

She has closed several real estate transactions for me and there was one transaction she definitely gave the WOW factor. I had a transaction that went down hill at the very end, meaning no one is going to get paid. Instead of having the "On to the next one" mentality like many Title Companies. This Seller was very upset because we were a few days from closing so she moved out of her house into a rental. Just before closing the buyers financing fell through and wanted their binder back. She fought hard for my seller back and forth with the Buyer's Agent, Buyer's Broker and the Lender for two weeks, to get down to the bottom of the problem and why they should explain to the buyer that giving the binder to the seller is the best course of action. She completely HANDLED the situation even though she had no dog in the fight and for that she is my #1 go to Attorney for anything in her scope of work.

If you need a title attorney in North Florida, consider giving Samantha a call. I have known her for almost ten years and trusted Samantha on properties ranging from Fleming Island on the west side, all the way out to Ponte Vedra Beach. Very few attorneys can provide the VIP level of service like Samantha, because she takes the time to fully explain everything in a manner that everyone will understand. I would not hesitate to use Samantha on my next closing.

Zach Tucker provided me with excellent legal representation and put his superior knowledge of the Defense Base Act on full display throughout the course of my case. Mr. Tucker is a real professional, and he made all legal matters a walk in the park for me. Zach Tucker and his staff provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details of my DBA case. Zach's attitude toward my case was unbelievable. Zach also helped me avoid potential traps that could be set by the employer and insurance company. Zach knows them all, will foresee them, and he is experienced enough to prevent them. He will provide you with the right advice on time, before you make your decision or find yourself in a bad situation. If you've been injured on the job offshore, overseas etc., I suggest immediately contacting Zach Tucker at Rudolph, Israel, Tucker, & Ellis (RITE law). You will not regret it!

I came to John Phillips office with little or no hope that I could prove my innocence or survive the alligations against me, I didn't think I would survive emotionally what myself and family were being put through. John along with Reid Hart listen to my story, they explained to me what they could do help me,and how they would go about helping me.My family and I felt so much better about my case and my chances of clearing my name after my conversation with John Phillips, and Ried Hart. I don't know if I would have ever gotten through this ordeal if a friend hadn't suggested that I go speak with John. Every motion they file every question they ask is all tied into getting to the truth,and giving you the best chance of victory I will never use another Law Firm other John Phillips Law firm for anything legal that might come up on my life again. Law firms like John Phillips and Lawyers like Reid Hart don't come like grapes in Bunches.

I needed legal representation for a business purchase and requested the assistance of Jack. I always seek to find like-minded professionals who take their work seriously, strive to be the very best in their field, and engage others with respect and dignity. Jack not only qualified in all of those categories but surpassed my expectations for timeliness in his responses, clarity in explaining the processes and outcomes, and ensuring I truly understood everything that was happening.

We had a case with an insurance company that took many years to close (due to the other side). I was ready to give up and Jack encouraged me not to. He ensured me we will receive a payment in the end and we did! I do highly recommend Jack, he doesn't give up!

After a fender bender, I enlisted the help of Jim Farson and Anne Raimondi, paralegal, to help me with my claims to the insurance company because my injury kept getting worse and required two surgeries. They were able to file the claims and get them settled and paid in a reasonable amount of time while educating me and through the entire process. I highly recommend them for experience, knowledge, professionalism.

If you are in a bad accident … make sure you engage a good personal injury attorney. James Farson and his Paralegal Anne Raimondi (Lindell, Farson & Zebouni, P.A., Jacksonville, Florida) represented, advised and guided me. They are very good!
The personal injury and property insurance claim process, I discovered, is confoundingly complex and complicated. I drove a car for over 60 years. No accidents. A sunny morning in 2020 … BANG!! Rear ended on a highway. Car totaled—and I was off to the Emergency Room in an ambulance. Within a week after the accident, even though I was not at fault, I realized that I was still going to be involved in an arduous process. Seeking reimbursement? Tow Truck bills, the replacement car process, personal injury and health issues, medical bills, loss of income, etc. … all must be considered, collected, analyzed … then presented in a formal demand package to the other party’s insurance company. The documentation for a claim may run to hundreds of pages from multiple sources. As I said … it’s complicated!!!
My experience? Jim Farson knows how to get it done … and he and his team got it done!

Jim and his office handled my daughter's car accident injuries as if she was family. He was professional, responsive, and defended my daughters rights as an expert in his field. Jim and his staff guided us through the entire process, and you could tell they cared. We were not just a number, we were treated as an injured person, with respect and care. We would highly recommend giving his office a call.

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.
