We are proud of our track record and distinction of being one of the few firms to routinely try a case all the way to a verdict. (go to court and win). In the era of computers, the Insurance Companies can track those firms that try cases and those that do not. It stands to reason that the insurance companies will offer more money to those firms that they know will try a case if a fair offer is not made. Robert Joyce, our main litigator, has tried in excess of 200 civil jury trials often achieving million dollar or multimillion dollar awards. And with our completely bilingual legal services, we can help a wider range of clients for all their injury concerns throughout Tampa Bay.
