DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM...
I was hit on bike Nov6, 2019 and electronically hired Vinson law. I had to find out through my MRI provider that Vinson Law had dropped me due to the driver not having assets. I was never notified through Email, postal service, or phone service of this decision...
Not a professional group of attorneys.

TWO STARS out of five...
My attorney at Vinson law was Christopher Pettus. My take on Mr. Pettus was a lawyer that was just not to interested in my case ! His work on my case throughout the entire process was little to none . I will present my experience below.
1) Mailed notice of claim to wrong Defendents.
(A simple check in Florida Corporations website would have prevented the lengthy process of getting a reply and the necessary insurance information to proceed! It took months!
I finally called his assistant (Ashley) and corrected this mistake myself!
2) Medical billing information from the Veterans Hospital where I was treated for my severely fractured shoulder.
This took almost a year and was only received after my intervention !
The process for getting billing from the VA is pretty straight forward ! A simple internet search will provide the proper forms that need to be completed to begin the up to 60 day process and additional information to proceed if the VA does not complete within the 60 days !
After 6 to 8 months of floundering around trying to get the VA billing Mr. Pettus sent me a letter stating they were making no progress in getting the VA billing and that maybe I would have better luck ?
I did and they finally got the billing required to proceed within a month !
3) I talked to Mr. Pettus about applying for a hardship waiver for my VA bills in light of my indigent status at that time.
He told me not to do this as it would hamper his negotiation's with our claim.
I lost that chance as we proceeded to settlement !
I may or may not have received a waiver? I will never know now!
4) Settlement... I relied on statements made by Mr. Pettus that there was a chance of getting a reduction on my VA bills and that he would forward a hardship letter I had written, as well as a cover letter he would write to the VA’s Legal counsel. He even made a note to do this in my presence on his reminder board behind his desk.
He also stated that there was a good probability that they would deduct 30% of the legal fees from the VA bill thus increasing my portion of the settlement ?
I relied on these statements and signed off on the settlement with high hopes that he would continue to negotiate with the VA’s legal counsel on my behalf ?
I spoke with the VA’s counsel and she stated she had not received anything on my request for compromise ?
Sloppy, with months of no communication and misinformation when we did speak ! Thumbs down on Mr. Pettus

Chris and Andrew are two extremely intelligent and skillful professionals. I am so fortunate that they were on my team. I will highly recommend them to everyone who may feel intimidated by the insurance company and their attorneys. They are communicative and they will keep you well informed every step of the way. Not only are they my attorneys, they are life long friends. Thank you both.

I met with all of the attorneys except Mr. Ben Vinson himself, but nevertheless, I spoke to him several times by phone. His staff go above and beyond in help care and concern and was able to answer any questions I had with my personal injury case. I had good representation and they are like family. I miss Mr. Vinson and his staff dearly and would highly recommend their firm to anyone that is skeptical of hiring an attorney. They were honest, friendly, ,attentive, reliable, knowledgeable, professional. if you have doubts of hiring any other firm, don 't hesitate to contact them I do not regret one moment of hiring this firm which handled my case. Thank you Mr. Vinson and Staff.
