I got clipped with my wife riding shotgun in April (2024) the Marsalisi Firm is Very communicative, straightforward, and committed to your best interest. They got me more than I expected after my losses and injuries. If you need a Personal Injury Lawyer, this is the team you want in your corner.

My wife and I were involved in a car accident and needed a car accident attorney in St. Pete. We reached out to few firms and found Marsalisi Law car accident attorney that won our trust on the first phone call. Frank was like a family member that was trying to help. Frank took the time to explain everything, be direct, informative, and overall very knowledgeable. Both Frank and Bre were very patient to go over the case and answer all questions that we had and to make this process as painless as possible. This was our first experience with such situation, and hopefully last, and we are grateful that we had Marsalisi Law on our side. If we had any questions, Bre was very quick to respond and take care of it. If you are in need of car accident attorney in St. Pete, you can trust Marsalisi Law a 100%. They will fight for you to get the best outcome.

I was in a car accident October 13, 2023, and was referred to Wil Flores by the TGH Urgent Care Center and I must say it was a great decision being I wasn't interested in hiring an attorney after my last bad experience with a law office in 2018. From the 1st time I spoke with Wil he was very professional, down to earth and I can tell he had a true passion for helping clients vs just out to get money. His team is very professional and attentive. Melissa and Merideth were always a phone call or email away and always called you a day prior to any scheduled appointments which is a great thing when you have a busy schedule such as myself.
My bodily injury case ended sooner than my vehicle claim and they are still willing to help me with everything until the claim is paid out, which is great because most attorneys get their portion, and you are on you own. I am thankful and very appreciative! I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever and hopefully I won't be in another accident but if I do I will be sure to give Wil and his team a call without hesitation. I highly recommend Wil Flores, you will not be disappointed.

Sean McQuaid is an excellent attorney. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain the various options available, including the pros and cons of each. He provided a roadmap for me based on the particulars of my case combined with his broad experience as an attorney handling DUI defense cases. Sean handled all court appearances without me needing to be present. He explained what to expect at each step in the process. His office communication and electronic file storage system are genuine assets. As a client, I was able to upload and view my case documents. Whenever I had a question, Sean responded almost instantaneously. I very highly recommend Sean McQuaid as a DUI Defense Attorney!

I found myself in the Pinellas lockup but was back home the next day. While grappling with shame and guilt, I was fortunate to connect with Sean McQuaid. His impressive credentials and extensive experience in DUI cases convinced me to reach out, and I’m so glad I did. After a brief conversation, I knew I had made the right choice!
Now, I’m on the other side with the best possible outcome, and I couldn’t be more satisfied or thankful. Sean and his team are highly professional, detail-oriented, and always available when needed. My advice during the process: accept your role, be honest, and trust that they’ll help you. I give them my highest recommendation!

There was a debt collector who started garnishing my checks for a debt that was over 20 years ago. I consulted with an attorney, William Kopp to see what was my options. I felt like that wasn't right for an over 20 year debt. They were taking over 300 out of each check. The lawyer adv8sed me to do bankruptcy to stop the garnishing. I was scared because I have never filed bankruptcy and heard a lot of negative things about it. Long story short I followed the Lawyer's advice and hired him. It went by quick, I won my case and now I am back on recovery to rebuild my credit from scratch. William Kop's team was great and I will recommend them over and over again. Thanks William Kopp you are the man.

Usually with lawyers it’s you get what you pay for. Mr. Bannon was veryyyyy different! The price was good and the service even better. He explained everything to me, answered all mine and my Husband’s questions and never got frustrated if I didn’t understand or had to repeat himself. I don’t know anything about legal stuff and I usually depend on my husband to explain. Mr. Bannon explained to myself and my husband where we both could understand. My case got taken care of quickly and with no issues. I would highly recommend Bannon Law Group to anyone!

Mr. Leavengood and his staff at LeavenLaw helped me on a business dispute. Let me say, I was beyond thrilled with the service received, the outcome of the negotiations, and the final agreement. Mr. Leavengood is an expert in his field and I would not hesitate to use his services again should the need arise. I have worked with other attorney's in the past and would absolutely rank LeavenLaw at the top of the list.

I have used the Law Firm of Ian Leavengood and Associates in the past for business and personal matters years ago with great success. Ian delivered everything that was agreed upon. Just recently I had a business customer that I had dealings with that would not pay me for the work that I had done for them that was not of the ordinary realm of business. My atty that handles my daily business dealings could not get this customer to pay me for what was agreed upon. After 2 months of frustrations with my corporate atty. I decided to call Ian and discuss my dilemma. He was straight forward with me about what the cost would be by settling or going to trail. I left it in his hands and low and behold my customer paid me. Great work Ian and your associates for going above and beyond the call of duty!!

Attorney Leavengood and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. From the moment I came in for the consultation, I knew I was in good hands. During my consultation, Attorney Leavengood sat down with me and personally discussed my situation, expectations and goals. He laid everything out very clearly, let me know what I could expect and advised as to the different options he and his team could provide in order to best serve my needs. I was extremely impressed with the level of dedication and attention to detail Ian and his team spent on my case. I was kept in the loop with every step in the process and they made sure to answer any and all questions I had. Not only did Attorney Leavengood take care of the case I had originally hired him for, but he and his team noticed the creditor had engaged in some illegal collection practices, so they pursued a separate lawsuit to bring them to justice and secured a win for Florida consumers. I couldn't be happier with the services they provided (as well as the outcome) and would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of representation.

I had a traffic violation and wanted to avoid points removal from my license. I simply didn’t want my insurance to go up. Jim took my case and I did not have to move a finger. I almost forgot about it. He diligently handled it and followed up. The result... a positive conclusion: No points. No traffic school. No insurance raise. :)

Mr Jenkins took my insurance case on a contingency with a highly successful conclusion. My insurance company initially rejected my claim because they attributed the damage to wear and tear and not to any claim related cause. But they were no match for my Mr Jenkins and his highly talented staff. Mr Jenkins had his own experts make examinations and knew he had the law on his side and how to counter the insurance rejection. Ultimately we settled giving me more than enough to complete the repairs.

I never had an opportunity to show my gratitute and appreciation here in this website. Mr. Bolliger took my case in 2017 against BMW not wanting to honor the warranty and finding every little excuse to avoid having to replace my engine. They were asking me to pay over $30,000 to replace the engine. We contacted Mr. Bolliger and WOW!! the experience from start to finish was amazing!!! He definitely exceeded our expectations and we will always be grateful for his service and professionalism. He fought for us in mediation until we won! Thank you Mr. Bolliger!!

To make a long story short a family member was in an accident opposite attorneys did everything to throw us under the bus. S Ballinger did what he does best law. I have never in my life of dealing with attorneys and Co Council attorneys. Mr. Bullinger always made my family feel like a part of his, And yes he Won the case. But after four years I found out he was not about money it’s about principle of law and right. There’s no amount of money that can make you feel as good as we felt knowing he was there.

Great services, professional, swift, straight forward, and painless.
Thank you John and Ricardo!!!
I do not live in the Tampa Bay area, I live in Fort Myers and could not find a Lemon Law lawyer locally. I'm glad I searched outward to a larger city and found Bolliger Law Group. This is their forte. The reviews on AVVO.com were what sold me on using them, they more than met my expectations.
I didn't have to drive to Tampa, all communication was handled promptly via email and phone.
My claim was simple and straight forward, transmission issues with my 2016 Jeep Charokee under 2 years old. I had all the initial documentation to them by late June, we had a little bit of a negotiation battle with the manufacturer and received an acceptable settlement offer by late August, I expect a check in September.
Very informative, they follow up, they get things done.
They tell you upfront what the process will most likely be like.
They tell you the potential timelines for each action that may be taken.
They tell you what is expected of you.
They give you a list of documentation that you need and how to obtain any missing pieces.
They give you your options, and you decide how you want to proceed.
A side note:
Documentation is absolutely key, make sure everything is noted on the service tickets, and don't hold off on going to the dealership and get your continued issues documented, read the notes on the service tickets that day, take photos of error codes on the dash, take video of your issues if possible, take a screenshot of mileage when you drop the vehicle off for service and when you pick it up to verify how many miles they test drove it.
Keep your expectations reasonable, while this is personal to you and emotional at the end of the day this is business for everyone else. While we all feel like we should not only get a full replacement vehicle with all the bells and whistles for our frustration; that is not going to happen. Know what you feel comfortable with settling for and let them know, and at the end of the day remember this process is to help you MOVE ON from your current situation.

I decided to hire Byron after my second appeal was denied. He understood my case was unique and told me he thought I had a legitimate claim. With early stages of prostate and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, along with other disabling illnesses, Byron recognized the deterioration in my quality of life. With his insider knowledge of the system and experience, he helped me convince a disability judge of this and receive my back pay and set up my monthly disability payments. So after a year of covid-19, homelessness and little healthcare, I now have thousands of dollars in my bank account and a Humana medicaid plan. Thanks Byron! You might have saved my life.

Having Byron as my wife’s SSDI attorney was the best decision we could’ve made. His calm easy going demeanor made us feel comfortable and relaxed in the most frustrating and stressful situation we’ve ever encountered. Byron is well versed in the law and handled my wife’s case like the real pro he is. Byron communicated everything that he needed from us and left nothing to the last minute. I would highly recommend you contact Byron to represent you or a loved one should you need his services. He won’t disappoint you.

I'm business broker. Had to find closing attorney to close on business my client was purchasing for his immigration visa L1. Many attorneys didn't want to deal with our difficult transaction. I initially dealt with Atty. Robert Hitchens. He was very accommodating and so helpful in keeping our deal together. When the buyer preferred to add more documents to the deal, they had no problem to prepare them at the same day. We corresponded with Paula there, and she was wonderful too. She answered emails quickly and was very professional and efficient. Closed on the day I asked for. Prices are reasonable. Overall, it was a pleasant experience!

Mr Yanchuck was accepted to the bar 1968. He has a few years experience!!
I hired Mr Yanchuck late December 2016 a personal injury case.
I immediately felt comfortable and secure.
A brilliant, charismatic, compassionate, funny man. He has experience in criminal, personal injury, medical malpractice.
I felt I was his only client. I was amazed of his ability to handle as many clients he actually had.
His staff has excellent communication skills, I was always able to speak with Joel if he was in the office, if not a paralegal knowledgeable regarding my case.
I cannot speak more highly of Mr Yanchuck. I would and will recommend
Him. Regards

I am a Madeira Beach-based attorney, who hired Joel and his team of attorneys to help with a personal injury case. Joel and his staff were so professional and efficient, they helped the case go very smoothly. Joel has extensive experience both as an assistant prosecutor, and in private practice, which gives him a thorough understanding of the entire trial court process. He is also well-versed in medical malpractice, and keeps up with the latest trends in medical malpractice law. From your first conversation with Joel, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner. Information I requested about the process was promptly forwarded. And there was never a complaint from his staff. They were always courteous and attentive, making me feel that my case was the only one being handled by the firm, when in reality I was likely one of hundreds of clients. Joel Yanchuck has gained a reputation as the “go-to” attorney for personal injury cases. Be warned: Once your case has been settled, you’ll likely still continue to hear from Joel. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. Thank you Joel.

After getting nowhere with two local Florida attorneys, I was referred to Philip Weylie.
He looked after everything we needed to research, draft and prepare the final documents. He knew exactly what was required by Canadian snowbirds who spend time in Florida.
Without hesitation, I rate the service provided at a 10.
I've already referred others to Mr. Weylie and I don't make such recommendations lightly.

Ms. Mikolaitis was more than excellent. She saved me from being completely victimized by a person with no apparent character. I purchased a dog for breeding from a breeder in Florida. The dog's testicles did not descend. The breeder tried every trick in the book to avoid remedy for the unfit for purchase dog and Ms. Mikolaitis stopped every attempt. Ms. Mikolaitis was completely available to me, returning every call in a timely manner, she was completely competent and professional and stayed on top of every maneuver the breeder attempted to avoid remedy and there were many. I could not ever find the words to say what an excellent job she did in protecting my rights and keeping me informed. She protected me and saved me from the victimization that had already occurred. I more than highly recommend her to anyone that needs help in this area, to not be made a victim. She is the best in every way.

I called Justine pertaining to my landlord giving me a hard time concerning my prescribed ESA. Justine immediately took my case and went to work right away. Justine didn't waste a day working on my case and before I knew it she had collected all the documentation she needed to send to my landlord. Justine's sense of urgency made me feel like she was more than my attorney but also someone that actually cares for her clients. Whenever I texted her or called her she was always available. I'm very satisfied with her work and her fee is very reasonable. I definitely recommend her to anyone having an issue with their landlord or condo association pertaining to their ESA or service animal. She gets five stars from me. Thank you Justine.

A week before closing, I received a call from my agent that the Buyers were trying to cancel my real estate contract on a $450K deal, and wanted to offer me half the escrow deposit. I was sick over it. Justine reviewed the contract, advised me to deny the cancellation their agent was sending over and refuse to sign it. She mentored me to pursue mediation and/ or a lawsuit to enforce on a specific provision. The buyers backed down and went through with the contract. THANK YOU JUSTINE!!!!

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.
