EDUCATION. FAMILY. IN MY FREE TIME I ENJOY

I have practiced in Orlando for 30 years.  I am rated AV Preeminent by Martindale Hubbell, the Highest Peer Reveiw Rating In Legal Ability and Ehicial Standards. This rating is considered the pinnacle of professional excellence earned through a strenuous peer reveiw rating process managed by one of  the worlds most trusted legal resources.. I began my career representing automobile and motorcycle manufacturers in complex product liability claims.  After a brief stint as an Assistant City Attorney doing Eminent Domain condemnation cases and representing the Code Enforcement Board, I resumed my prior practice area until I founded SeifertMiller, LLC a law firm dedicated to representing victims of negligence.. I have tried a number of cases to verdict and have a great deal of experince representing injured people.  This coupled with my prior experience representing manufacturers and insurance companies gives me keen insight into how best to represent my clients.  Since 2002, I have only represented injured people.. I live in Windermere, Florida with my wife Jamie.  We have been married 35 years and have a son also named Scott who is a recent graduate of Michigan State University School of Law.

I have lived in Florida since I was 2 years old.  First in Miami, then West Palm Beach, and now I make Orlando my home with my family.. Verbal battling was always natural to me, so it would seem ftting that being a lawyer was in my future.  The trick, however, is to know when it's time to battle and when it's time to extend an olive branch.  This is something that I belive comes naturally, but must be defined through experience.  I now have about 15 years of experience as a lawyer and feel very comfortable in any setting against any other attorney in representing the best interests of my clients.  After all, there is no reason to be afraid of another attorney, judge, prosecutor, or court itself.  At least that's my position.. I began my legal career at the State Attorney's Office in Orange County Florida (Orlando).  While there I earned a Top Performer Award and Merit Raise for my prosecuting.  I handled traffic, misdemeanors, and felonies.  My last stint at the office was as a Domestic Violence Specialist Prosecutor.  While in that role I also had the responsibility of training and mentoring younger prosecutors.  One of whom, I am proud to say, has moved up quite high in the ranks of the office.. Upon leaving the State I worked for another attorney in town for about a year.  Then I partnered up with two other attorneys.  One attorney left and it was me and one partner.  Being a partner can be difficult.  Eventually, we went our separate ways and I have happily been on my own for about seven years now.  I handle my own cases.  I do not meet with clients only to let an associate or paralegal handle your case.  I am available to my clients by cell, text, or email at any time including the weekends and holidays.. I greatly enjoy meeting people and learning their stories.  It's always something different.  Not all cases are very serious, but I try to stick to a simple approach....honesty.  I will not tell a client something just to make them feel better.  It would be easy to do, but I'm more of an attorney or counselor than a salesman I suppose.  Many of the cases I get now are referrals from former clients who know that I will charge a fair rate, defend the case as well as possible, and be honest during a time when someone needs that the most.. In the end my goal is to get charges dropped first then try to keep my client out of jail.  What I can promise is my best effort at a reasonable rate during a difficult time.

I have focused my law practice on Medical Malpractice claims for over 30 years.  I have successfully handled thousands of cases and received multi-million dollar verdicts on behalf my clients.  I am proud to a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum as well as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer with NTLA.

I have deep roots in the Central Florida area having lived and worked here most of my life. With more than 36 years practicing under my belt, I am certainly very familiar with the legal layout of the land. I began to think about the legal profession in college because I believe the law basically encompasses every aspect of our lives.. As far as getting into family law, I went through a divorce in the late 1980s and the attorneys I had were wonderful. One became a judge and one is still practicing locally. I found myself needing to understand family law so I could maneuver through the system. In the process, I discovered I really wanted to help people going through similar difficult times just as my attorneys had. I really gravitated to it and have practiced family law ever since. I have found it has given me valuable insight as I am not only a family law litigator, but also someone who has been on the other side going through divorce.. I know what clients go through and the ups and downs that they sometimes face. I believe my role is not just to represent a client but also to provide them with a pathway to obtain some sort of certainty in their lives. To me, that is satisfying. My parents divorced so I can still to this day see it from a kid’s point of view when parents are arguing and not getting along. I understand the quicker a resolution can be reached to bring as much normalcy to a family as possible the better.. My Strengths. I bring a tremendous amount of experience and empathy to cases. I am very professional when working with the opposition. However, I am also very willing to take an aggressive approach in order to get things done for my clients. The process can be quite complex so having more than 30 years of family law experience brings quite a bit to the table for my clients.. What I Find the Most Exciting in Legal Practice. I find it exciting when I have done a good job for the client and they are satisfied. When the process works well, those are the best moments. I also have a great deal of courtroom experience which is exciting because you have got to be on your toes and know what you are doing in making your arguments in front of a judge.. My Personal Life. I am married to a wonderful woman named Gail and we each have a grown daughter. I am also grandfather to two amazing children. From a grandparent’s point of view, you can never have enough time with them. Being a grandparent is great, so from a family standpoint, this is the best part of my life I have ever experienced. I also love music, particularly the blues.. My Qualifications:. I think my multiple decades as an attorney speak to my experience. There is very little that happens in the courtroom that I have not seen. But many people demand a traditional biography. For those people, here are my particulars:

I have dedicated my law practice to helping the disabled. Specifically, I represent Veterans who have been wrongly denied service-connected compensation benefits by the Department of Veterans (VA). I also represent disabled Social Security Claimants.. In addition to representing Veterans and Social Security claimants directly, I have also presented at seminars for veterans' advocates on a nationwide basis, educating them on how to represent veterans before the VA to obtain service-connected benefits. I have also presented for many other advocacy and support groups in my community, educating the public about VA and Social Security Disability law, in general.

I have been practicing law for over 22 years, and I am a Partner with the law firm of Vasquez & Tosko, LLP.  We are a boutique firm that takes pride in our hands-on approach with our clients to achieve optimum results.  My primary areas of practice include personal injury, wrongful death, premises liability, and immigration.. I was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1996. I am a member of the Florida Bar, the Orange County Bar Association, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and the United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit. I have an AV Preeminent rating with Martindale-Hubbell.

I have been licensed as an attorney since September 1995.  I graduated from the University of Alabama in 1995.  I went to work as a criminal prosecutor for a District Attorney's office in Central Alabama.  After a couple of years (and 16 jury trials) I started my own practice.  In 2000, I moved to Florida and began working in the medical malpractice defense and general insurance defense field.. I presently practice in the areas of insurance coverage, SIU, property coverage and liability claims, auto liability and bad faith litigation.

I have been an attorney since 2000. I love my career because I enjoy helping people with their legal problems and navigating through the legal system.  I was a paralegal prior to attending law school at a labor and employment firm, and I knew I wanted to do more to help people problem solve; I wanted to be the voice when they were unable to speak up for themselves.  I relocated to Florida to attend the University of Central Florida where I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature before I received my Juris Doctorate Degree from Nova Southeastern University.  I started my attorney career as a prosecutor in Orange County Florida.  I prosecuted cases in Criminal Traffic, Misdemeanor, Juvenile and Felony before I went into private practice.   I enjoy problem solving for my clients, and ensuring that their due process rights are not being violated.  I practice in Family Law, Collaborative Law, Adoption (domestic) Bankruptcy, Criminal Defense, Dependency and Wills.  Our team at Schwam-Wilcox & Associates strives to do our very best at all times, and to be sure to serve the needs of our clients.  Our client's feel as if they are our only client, and they are always important to us.  We pride ourselves on communication and attention to detail.  We appreciate every opportunity to assist people with their legal needs.  Our team is also very active in the legal and non-legal community.  Schwam-Wilcox & Associates holds 2 food drives each year to help fill a local food pantry to ensure the members of our community have something to eat for themselves and their children.  Our team volunteers to perform legal work for the people who qualify and for children who need a voice.. I am not only an attorney, but I am also a Florida Supreme Court Family Law Certified Mediator and a Guardian Ad Litem.  I like to help people in their time of need, I like to change my clients’' feelings of despair into hope and joy.  Legal matters are very stressful, emotional and can be expensive; however, if you have an attorney on your side that you can trust, you will be in a better place during your legal challenges.  I am honest, upfront, trustworthy, and I would appreciate the opportunity to work with you to achieve your legal goals.  I cannot make any promises regarding an outcome in your case; however, I can promise to give you respect, diligence, the truth (if you want to hear it or not, there is no "candy-coating") hard work and dedication to your case.  You will never be a number, and you will always be able to reach part of your team to discuss your case.. You are the team leader on your case, we are the hired help.  We are the "advisors" that give you the legal options and you make a decision on how you want to run your case, it is your life and your children.  We will tell you what we think is the best choices for your legal strategy according to the facts of your case, and you will ultimately tell us which of the strategies presented to you that you want to use on your legal matter.. I have a significant amount of trial experience as a prosecutor and as a private attorney.  I have practiced all over the state of Florida from Colombia County to Miami-Dade.  I have my main office in Orlando, and have office space to use in Kissimmee and The Villages for clients that have cases in those areas.  I have an attorney and assistant at the office that speak Spanish..

I handle ALL criminal cases, no matter how large or small.. When I was a former prosecuting attorney I handled ALL felony and misdemeanor cases, from possession of drugs to murder.  As the Prosecutor/Assistant State Attorney for the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation in Orlando, I handled cases involving organized crime, drugs and drug trafficking, wiretapping, racketeering, (RICO both criminal and civil), commercial sex and law enforcement intelligence.  Therefore I learned to meticulously analyze legal issues from every angle.   In private practice for over thirty years, I use everything I learned while working for the State to personally provide my clients with the highest professional, thorough, competent and quality legal representation throughout Central Florida in the defense of their criminal case(s).   As a smaller firm I can invest my time and energy into each case.  I meticulously analyze your legal issue from every angle to determine how best to resolve it. I focus on attaining my clients’ objectives and I handle your legal matter depending on your needs and goals.   I HANDLE ALL CASES MYSELF.. I am also a former U.S. Army Captain with one year of combat experience as an airmobile /infantry officer (Lieutenant), which taught me discipline, competence and to be a perfectionist under pressure that I apply to every client’s case in defending their rights.   I use my vast, varied and unique experience to determine how best to resolve an issue and help a client achieve their objective while protecting their rights and interests.

I began my career as an advocate for communities and individuals over a decade ago. Over that time I obtained my law degree and my license to practice law in the State of Florida. Every day, I work to represent those that need access to dedicated representation through some of the most trying times in their lives. It is the passion of my life.. It was through my time as a community organizer and activist that I had the honor of meeting people from all walks of life, and from all corners of the globe. That experience taught me that, no matter your station in life, you deserve a voice. I became an attorney to be a voice for people in need.

I am the son of Cuban immigrants.  My parents taught me the value of hard work and dedication.  I bring these values to each case.  I have been practicing law for the last 22 years.  Throughout that time, I have had the privilege of working with many wonderful attorneys.  These experiences have taught me that each case is different and must be addressed according to the particular circumstances.

I am the founder and managing attorney of Bear Legal Solutions. I left a 500+ attorney firm in order to create this law firm which provides elite and personalized legal services to each client and every case. Far too often, whether in defense or plaintiff’s firms, clients and cases become little more than numbers within a law firm. This is the result of an organizational structure which mandates large caseloads and unmanageable billable requirements. Whether you’re a corporation being defended by a huge firm with hundreds of attorneys, or an individual who called the 800 number on the billboard, it's almost certain that the attorney handling the majority of your legal work doesn’t have the time or energy to give your legal needs the attention that they deserve. More troubling, oftentimes these firms have incentives which are not aligned with your interests.. Bear Legal Solutions was designed to break away from that structure. The organization is committed to providing each and every client and each and every case the attention and personalized strategy that they deserve. Central to that mission is a commitment to maintaining a caseload that allows its legal professionals the ability to do their job properly. The goal of Bear Legal Solutions is to provide our clients the highest quality legal representation, not to accept as many cases and grow as large as possible.. I focus my practice primarily on matters involving insurance coverage, property insurance claims, medical malpractice, personal injury, medical liens, employment practices, and contract disputes. My practice for property insurance claims includes claims for windstorm, fire, mold, water loss, sinkhole and theft.. Prior to starting Bear Legal Solutions, I worked at a 500+ attorney firm and before that a state-wide firm where I defended hospitals, medical providers, pharmacists, and attorneys against malpractice claims. I also represented insurance companies in every type of property damage claim imaginable as well as businesses in premises liability and employment discrimination matters. I also have experience in commercial litigation and white collar criminal defense. Before transitioning into the private sector, I spent three years as a prosecutor at the Office of the State Attorney in Orange and Osceola Counties. During this time, I conducted dozens of trials ranging from DUI to RICO and violent crimes.. I received my juris doctor from Florida State University. During law school, I worked for Governor Jeb Bush and now Senior Judge Anne C. Conway of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. I was also a member of the Law Review. Prior to law school, I obtained a bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from Bates College.. In 2017 I was appointed to the Judicial Nominating Commission (JNC) for the 18th Circuit of Florida. The JNC panel is responsible for investigating, interviewing and evaluating applicants for open circuit and county court judge seats. After our investigation, the panel recommends three to six applicants to the governor from which he makes a judicial appointment.. I am a member of the Florida Bar, Orange County Bar Association, George C. Young Central Florida American Inns of Court, and the Windstorm Insurance Network. I am also active in the community, including serving as an instructor for the baptism program at St. Stephen's Catholic Church and having previously served as an instructor in The Church's teen confirmation program. I am also committed to a number of environmental defense causes and serve on the board of directors for the non-profit Save Rural Seminole.If you or your business is being sued or has been threatened with a lawsuit, or an incident has occurred and you would like to proactively address it, I would be happy to help you.

I am mainly a Criminal Trial Lawyer. Trial representation has been my passion since I graduated from the University of Florida Law School. Upon graduation and passing the Bar I went to work for the Office of the Public Defender in Orlando, FL, 9th Judicial Circuit, where I worked for almost 4 years. During that time i represented thousands of clients in cases ranging from traffic infractions and misdemeanors to First Degree Felonies. The trial experience that I gained working at the Public Defenders Office was invaluable.. Now as a private practitioner I am pleased to be able to offer clients personalized representation where I meet persoanlly with all clients to let them know that I am here to zealously represent them. Going to trial, when it is the best option for my clients, is always a thrill for me. I do not shy away from trials and will never counsel a plea unless it is truly in my client's best interest.

I am a life-long native Floridian.  I understand the pain and tragedy contested cases can cause to the clients I've represented in my 20 year career.  I also know because I've been through it myself.  The financial, spiritual and physical toll is a shattering experience.  My own divorce was easily the toughest two years of my life.. My personal experience and two decades as a trial attorney has fine-tuned my understanding of your case and representing your rights and interests in family restructure.  Although I handle contested family law cases that are litigated in court, I whole-heartedly embrace the human conflict resolution methods of Collaborative Divorce and Family Mediation.  To represent you fully and effectively, I am able to offer different styles of representation.  Most folks want a non-adversarial divorce, but if your spouse won't allow that and the case unravels, I will fight for your rights to your children and your vested financial interests..
