Personal Injury

Accidents. They happen everyday and range from minor annoyances to major catastrophes. While not all accidents result in injury, when they do, individuals are faced with uncertainty of the future and begin to wonder how they are going to pay for medical bills and get back to life as normal, if that is even possible. On top of all of these questions, victims must deal with insurance companies that are trying to deny compensation or offer victims the least amount of money possible. Sustaining a personal injury is a frightening time that no one should have to go through alone.

If you have been injured as the result of a defective product, medical malpractice, slip and fall accident or car accident and don't know where to turn, turn to us. Our full-service law firm will provide you with the personalized attention your claim demands.

If you have been injured in an accident or as the result of someone else's negligence, we may be able to help you recover money for your medical expenses, financial loss or lost wages. Our legal team will work skillfully to help clients receive compensation for physical and psychological injuries sustained as the result of someone else's action or failure to act responsibly to prevent an injury. If you or a loved one have been the victim of an accident that resulted in personal injury, please contact us at 727-946-7504 for a free consultation.

Paralegal Services for Attorneys Only

In these uncertain economic times with downsizing and layoffs, it makes sense to keep a careful watch on the bottom line. Why pay someone a full salary and expensive benefits when you can hire a freelance paralegal to assist you for a fraction of the cost and be assured that person has the exact experience and knowledge for the project at hand? Freelance paralegals are paid by the project and not for downtime, holidays, vacations and sick days.

As the legal profession evolves over time, there seems to be less and less time to do more and more work. How can a freelance paralegal service help you?

My freelance paralegal service will arrange to visit the offices of those for whom we are working, either as needed or on a regular basis, to pick up any overflow work. Our services can be ideal for the young lawyer or solo practitioner who is just getting started. This can be especially true for the young lawyer who, for example, might have a legal secretary but cannot afford a full time paralegal, and could use the extra support. By contacting our services, it is possible to have someone arrive on scene to pick up the slack while additionally freeing up otherwise billable time. Our Service can also assist is by providing temporary coverage when a support staff person goes on vacation or maternity. The quality of temporary help coming out of agencies can be disappointing to attorneys. They can be expensive, and more often than not the attorney just gets a "legal secretary" (if they are lucky) when what they really need is a "paralegal". By contacting our paralegal service, one can be more in control of getting someone who has experience, someone who knows how to get the job done, and someone who most likely has the skills that an attorney (who is otherwise short-handed) needs. There is an opportunity to develop a relationship with a professional whose skill level is familiar and who can cover whenever the need arises.

My services include:

Attend initial conference with attorney and client
Review and organize client files
Draft correspondence and pleadings
Draft demand to present for settlement
Interview client to gather facts and background information
Draft discovery requests and responses
Investigative services
Site inspections and photography
Prepare deposition summaries

Proofreading and editing
Conduct legal research and Internet research
Locate and interview witnesses

Hourly rates are determined by the complexity and time requirement of the assignment. Flat fees are available for simple document preparation. Rates are always quoted prior to work being started so that you are aware of the costs to your client.


Weekend and rush services are available. Our services are available by E-Mail and Fax too!
