While our firm started in Orlando and its main office is there, for many years we have handled cases throughout Florida, and even out of state. To serve you better we have opened additional satellite offices in several major Florida cities. We use these offices to conduct client interviews, take depositions, and as war rooms when we have trials in these cities. When advantageous to you, we will also associate with other lawyers and law firms in some areas of the state to serve you better. If we do associate with other lawyers on your case it will be at no additional attorney fee or expense to you. This site contains only general background information and is not intended to constitute specific legal advice or establish an attorney/client relationship. If you think you may have an FTCA case you should promptly contact a lawyer with experience in handling FTCA cases. |
