Our experience doesn't cost you more Florida Bar rules cap contingency fees in personal injury cases, and our fee follows that standard schedule. You do not pay a premium for an AV-Preeminent® rated attorney with more than 35 years of personal injury experience. On top of that, we promise you will never take home less than we do; if needed, we reduce our fee. See how fees work. ## 2. We save you time We want you focused on healing and getting on with your life. We deal with the insurance adjusters, doctors' offices, medical billing departments and the rest of the time-consuming work a case requires. From the first call, we can also explain how to get your car repaired and your rights to a rental car. ## 3. You are always represented by an attorney You will not be handed off to a legal assistant or an investigator for your first meeting. You meet with, are advised on Florida law by, and are represented by attorney Mike Hancock, who stays involved throughout your case alongside attorneys Claire Hancock and Matias Cordoba. ## 4. Led by a Tampa native Mike Hancock is a second-generation Tampa native, raising his family where his parents raised him. He has served two terms as President of the North Tampa Bar Association and has volunteered with Carrollwood organizations for years. We know these roads, from Dale Mabry and Fletcher Avenue to I-75 and SR 54, and the communities they connect. Our community work. ## 5. A track record insurers take seriously Insurance companies keep track of the lawyers they face. Mike has obtained verdicts and settlements of more than $1 million in motor vehicle cases and is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Adjusters and defense lawyers know we prepare thoroughly and will take a case to trial when a fair settlement is not offered. See our case results. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ## 6. A whole team working for you We are a small firm by choice, but we have the resources to fully present your damages. Depending on your case, we work with accident reconstructionists, economists, engineers, vocational rehabilitation consultants, and medical and nursing professionals. At the office, experienced case managers, a litigation paralegal and a bilingual legal assistant keep your case moving. ## 7. We only get paid if you do We take 100% of our cases on a contingency fee. We never charge upfront fees or retainers, and we never charge a "file set-up fee" or vague administrative costs. We advance the costs of your case and do not hold you responsible for them if we do not obtain a recovery. ## What else you can count on - Insider knowledge. Mike defended insurance companies before founding the firm in 1996, so we know how claims are evaluated from the inside. - Someone always answers.
