We are seasoned litigators that strive for the best possible outcome for our clients. We have successfully prosecuted and defended claims in various venues in Florida, including State, Federal, and Appellate courts, private arbitration, and administrative hearings. Our team works closely with our clients to formulate a creative legal approach for every case. The process begins with the initial interview with a client and the factual investigation of evidence. In the pre-trial discovery phase, there is a formal exchange of relevant information between both parties regarding the witnesses and evidence that will be presented at the trial. We include reliable witnesses and expert testimony to the facts of your case. If there has been an error in the interpretation of the law leading to an unfavorable court decision, our firm’s appellate attorneys can begin an appeals process to attempt to reverse the decision.
