Board‑Certified Civil Trial Lawyer

Our firm is led by Mark S. Roman, a Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer, the highest standard of trial expertise, held by only a small fraction of attorneys statewide. Insurance companies know exactly which firms are built to try a case in front of a jury, and that reputation is what drives stronger settlements and verdicts for injured clients across Tampa Bay.

Exclusively Personal Injury Law Focused

We practice one area of law and one only: personal injury. From car, truck, motorcycle, and bike accidents to slip and falls and wrongful death, every case we take is an injury case. That focus means deeper experience, sharper strategy, and a team that knows precisely how Florida insurance companies operate and how to beat them.

Deep Local Presence

Founded in 1986, we have five offices across the Tampa Bay area; Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and New Port Richey, we're your neighbors, not a distant call center. We invest in the community we serve through youth sports, local schools, and our Not Just a Cyclist campaign. That local trust shows in more than 1,200 five-star reviews across all of our locations.

Over 60 Combined Years of Experience

Our attorneys bring more than 60 years of combined experience and over $200 million recovered for injured Floridians. Several of our lawyers once defended insurance companies, so we know their playbook from the inside. At heart we're a trial firm, we build every case to win at trial, which is exactly why insurers take us seriously.
