FAQ
Free consultations. No fees unless we win.
The fastest way to know is a free consultation. We’ll look at the facts, the parties involved, and whether negligence or a defective product is provable. If we don’t think you have a viable case, we’ll tell you.
It depends on complexity. Many of our cases involve product defects, expert testimony, and multiple defendants — they take time to build properly. Rushing rarely produces the best outcome.
It depends on the nature and extent of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, future earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Florida law also allows compensation for disfigurement and loss of enjoyment of life.
We immediately preserve evidence, secure witness statements, and engage the right experts. Robert handles every case personally; you won’t be passed to junior staff.
No. We work on contingency — no fees unless we win. We also advance case costs (experts, depositions, filing) so you can focus on recovering.
