Of course, we hope you will consider our firm. We have handled various types of claims from the Emerald Coast to the Gold Coast. From Jacksonville to Cape Coral. From Tampa Bay to the Space Coast and across all of Florida. Although Florida is a large state, our central location in Orlando makes it easy for us to handle cases anywhere.
If for any reason you do not want our firm to represent you, or if we turn your case down and you want another opinion, one of the best ways to find a lawyer is simply by word of mouth. If you have any friends or relatives who are lawyers, ask them for their advice on choosing a lawyer in this specialty.
Advertising and web pages can be helpful provided that the advertisements actually contain useful information about the attorneys and their backgrounds. One reliable source is Martindale-Hubbell. Martindale-Hubbell is the oldest lawyer rating service in the world, having first been published in the 1860s.
Avvo is an online attorney listing company which ranks attorneys according to impartial mathematical criteria based on years of practice, absence of disciplinary history, professional achievements, and industry recognition. As with the Martindale-Hubbell ratings, there is no rating favoritism and lawyers cannot pay to be rated, or to improve their rating.
If you have any concerns about the first lawyer you interview, do not hesitate to interview others before deciding. Almost all malpractice lawyers offer free initial consultations or discussions about your potential case. Keep in mind that good lawyers will seldom give an opinion on the strength or value of a case until they have had an opportunity to thoroughly investigate it.
