The Insurance Company is Already Working Against You
Before you speak to the insurance company, you need to understand what’s at stake.
The First Offer Is Not Designed For You
Insurance companies are trained to minimize payouts. The process is built to keep you from knowing what your case is really worth.
Without An Attorney, You Are Outmatched
You are negotiating against professionals who do this every day. They understand the system. You are expected not to.
Once You Settle, There Is No Going Back
Once you sign, your case is closed. Even if new injuries or costs come up later.
Stop Guessing.
Know What Your Case is Worth.
You get direct access to your attorney, clear communication, and a strategy focused on maximizing your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not every situation requires a lawyer, but it is important to understand what you may be giving up by handling a case on your own.
Insurance companies often move quickly and may offer a settlement before you fully understand the extent of your injuries or what your case may be worth. Many people accept less than they are entitled to without realizing it.
We help you understand your options, deal with the insurance company on your behalf, and make sure you are not pressured into settling for less than your case deserves.

Get a Free Case Review →Every situation is different, but if you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may have a case.
The best way to know is to have your situation reviewed. We look at the details, explain your options clearly, and give you a straightforward answer about how to move forward.
Your case is handled personally from start to finish. You work directly with Howard, not a large team or case manager.
We take a hands-on approach, managing the details, gathering evidence, and dealing with the insurance company so you do not have to.
You will always know what is happening with your case and who is handling it. We do not back down when it comes to protecting what you are entitled to.
There is no upfront cost to hire us. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not pay any legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
If your case is successful, our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing.
A contingency fee means our payment is tied to the outcome of your case.
Instead of charging hourly or upfront fees, we are paid a percentage of the settlement or verdict if your case is successful. If there is no recovery, you do not pay legal fees.
You should be careful when speaking with the insurance company, especially early in your case.
Insurance adjusters are trained to gather information that can be used to limit what they pay. Even casual statements can be used later to reduce or deny your claim.
Once we represent you, we handle all communication so you are protected.
What you say to the insurance company can affect your claim, so it is important to have guidance early on.
Your first priority should be your health. Seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if your injuries do not seem serious.
If you are able, document the scene, gather contact information, and avoid giving detailed statements to the insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Early decisions can affect your case, so it is important to understand your options as soon as possible.
What you do after a car accident can impact your claim and your recovery.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The value of a case depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and how the injury has impacted your life.
We look at the full picture, including future medical care, long-term effects, and ongoing financial impact.
You only get one opportunity to resolve your case, and we do not accept less than what your case is worth.
The only way to know what your case may be worth is to have it reviewed based on your specific situation.
In Florida, there is a limited amount of time to file a personal injury claim, known as the statute of limitations.
If you wait too long, you may lose your right to recover compensation entirely. The exact timeframe can vary depending on the details of your case.
The safest approach is to have your situation reviewed as soon as possible so you do not miss any important deadlines.
If you have questions about the deadline for your personal injury claim, it is best to have your case reviewed as soon as possible.
Every case is different. Some cases resolve in a matter of months, while others take longer if the insurance company disputes the claim or if litigation becomes necessary.
We move your case forward as efficiently as possible, but we do not rush to accept less than you deserve. Our focus is on resolving your case the right way, not just the fastest way.
You do not have to make a decision right away.
We offer a free consultation to review your situation, answer your questions, and help you understand your options. There is no pressure to move forward.
Our goal is to give you clarity so you can make the best decision for your situation.
