Best Decision

...my son was awarded a huge amount of money from 3 different companies...”

I co-counseled with Stephanie Miles on a tractor-trailer vs. car collision in Central Florida. It was the best decision I made for my client. Not only is Stephanie backed by the stellar reputation of the firm, but her legal and technical skills are surpassed by none. She is sharp as a tack, hard-working, and I’d be willing to wager there are few young lawyers out there with half as much current skill or potential. I know for a solid fact that I would not have obtained the phenomenal recovery for my client without her involvement.

First Class Attorney

... was 10 times more than what I expected to receive.”

Tragedy can strike at any time in your life. Our lives were forever changed When my son was injured while working in the oilfield on a drilling rig. With a lot on my plate and on my mind I decided I would seek the help of a lawyer while my son was fighting for his life hour by hour. I called many lawyers trying to find the “right” one. Luckily I passed judgement on the ones I passed up just by their phone etiquette. The last call I made was to Stephanie Miles, I knew I didn’t have to continue. Stephanie got right on the case...

Superb Lawyer

They did everything they could and more”

One night I was struck on my motorcycle by a car making a blind left-hand turn. It left me hospitalized and unable to walk for about half a year. I was at rock bottom and I had no idea what to do until I met Ms. Miles. They did everything they could and more to help me through this time. They made sure I understood everything that was going on and answered all of my questions and concerns. Ms. Miles is very professional and she worked her hands to the bone prepping for trial and I’m glad I chose her. I will definitely recommend Ms. Miles to anyone going through a similar case.

always available to answer

Their knowledge and expertise were invaluable and helped settle my case quickly.”

After a car accident, I was overwhelmed by the process of dealing with insurance companies and doctors. There never seemed to be enough time to go through the mounds of paperwork I had to complete in addition to keeping up with physical therapy sessions and working full-time. I was nervous about hiring an attorney, but found myself unable to navigate on my own. A friend referred me to Brandon and Stephanie and what a relief they were. They took the time to explain the process to me and were always available...

honesty and integrity

Stephanie always came through, giving it her all, with honesty and integrity.”

Stephanie's experience and knowledge of medical law was instrumental in guiding us through the complex process of the legal system. She was always there for us to answer any questions via text messages, emails and phone/video calls. From preparing documents to request medical records, sharing what to expect during the many phases of filing a suit or providing empathetic and heartfelt counseling, Stephanie always came through...

They care

They care about their clients and the results more than any other attorneys I’ve seen.”

I learned how to try cases from these two lawyers. I can’t recommend them enough. They care about their clients and the results more than any other attorneys I’ve seen. Any person who hires Stephanie or Brandon is very lucky and in the best of hands.
