Top best Insurance Lawyers in Winter Park | 34 available

Thank you for visiting my AVVO account and I look forward to working with you to resolve any legal issue I may be able to assist you with.   I am originally from Springfield, Missouri where I was born, raised, and lived until 2012 when I moved to Florida to attend law school.  I attended Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri, graduating with a major in political science and a minor in business management.  Post college graduation I applied to Barry University School of Law and was accepted into the graduating class of 2015.  During my tenure at Barry, I was a member of the Student government association advocating for the students and worked to achieve an improved law school experience for the students as well as the faculty. While attending law school, I also worked in the admissions office recruiting future students and lawyers as well acted as prospective and current students as an adviser of sorts to aid them in the transition from college student, to law scholars, to an attorney.   After passing the Florida Bar in 2015, I was offered the position of Associate Attorney at the firm of Lyons Law, P.A. practicing primarily in Orange and Osceola Counties, as well as a few others. Lyons Law, P.A. was primarily a bankruptcy and consumer defense firm as well as a growing Family Law Practice. I worked closely with the owner on every aspect of every case. While at the firm I was representing individuals in all phases of litigation in the areas of family law litigation, contract disputes, civil theft, estate management planning, consumer protection and debt defense, time share disputes, and specialized in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy petitions. Responsibilities included: drafting, researching and arguing procedural and evidentiary issues, motion practice, pretrial negotiation, meditations, taking and defending depositions, drafting and filing Bankruptcy Petitions, defending 341 hearings, trial strategy development, and conducting trials in State Court. I worked as an associate attorney with the firm until March 2016 at which time an opportunity arose to be an associate attorney at the law office of Lotane & Associates in Cocoa, Florida.  Lotane & Associates is a thriving consume debt collection firm which also specializes in Insurance Subrogation prosecution. As an Associate in the firm’s subrogation, healthcare and commercial litigation practice which consisted of six other attorneys with assistance from roughly 50 staff members. The practice represents various home, automobile and commercial insurers in all aspects of filing and prosecution of subrogation actions in Florida and Georgia, as well as defending counterclaims, third party claims and declaratory actions. The practice also represents several credit unions, medical practices, contractors, credit issuers and nearly 50 hospitals. Matters in which I was responsible for were:. •        Representing clients in matters involving Insurance Subrogation of auto and professional negligence, construction defects, products liability, breach of contract, foreclosures, construction liens, hospital liens, PIP coverage, medical billing collections, and all forms of pre and post-judgment collections.. •        Responsibilities included: drafting, researching and arguing procedural and evidentiary issues, motion practice, pretrial negotiation, meditations, taking and defending depositions, trial strategy development, and conducting trials in State Court.. I worked at Lotane & Associates until September 2017 when I joined the firm of Cole Scott & Kissane, P.A. I was an Associate in the firm’s Person Injury. Protection Insurance Defense practice which consists of approximately eleven attorneys with assistance from roughly 20 additional staff members. The practice represents various automobile and commercial insurers in all aspects of defense of claims arising from Personal Injury Protection benefits disputes in Florida, as well as defending declaratory actions. The firm also represents several Insurance Companies across a multitude of areas of law defending actions brought against Insurance Company. I was responsible for representing clients in matters involving Insurance Defense of Florida’s No-Fault Personal Injury Protection. Responsibilities include: drafting, researching and arguing procedural and evidentiary issues, motion practice, pretrial negotiation, meditations, taking and defending depositions, trial strategy development, and conducting trials in State Court.. In March of 2018 I decided it was time to take the leap and venture out on my own, and with a partner to form the law office of Orozco & Lean, P.A.   After years of learning the inner most workings of law firms practicing across the state of Florida for both Plaintiffs and Defendants I became weary of the constant quotas and billable "goals" of bigger and small firms alike. I am dedicated to my work and believe that EVERYONE deserves zealous avocation when they are in need of Civil Representation in the State of Florida.  This adage as both helped me become the lawyer I am today, as well as often became problematic when working within firms whose goals for their client we're typically funded in ulterior motives. At Orozco & Lean, P.A. our focus is you, the client. While we are a for-profit business and we intend to make money doing so, our primary goal well always be to zealously advocate for our clients. The cost, is unfortunately, a necessary evil so to speak.   Thank you for taking the time to review my profile, please don’t hesitate to call my office and meet with me to discuss how I may be able to help you!

Prior to establishing Unified Legal Group, P.A., I worked for various organizations including non-profit, for-profit, and the typical law firm where I gained a vast amount of knowledge and experience in the practice of law and the operation of a business. I have encountered and dealt with a wide-range of issues, and I have easily helped many clients navigate through the legal complexities to resolve their problems. Some of my resume’s highlights include the provision of pro bono legal services to indigents, oversight of the legal department of a multi-million dollar corporation, and negotiated settlements with a combined total of millions of dollars for my clients.The dedication and strong work ethic I possess drives me to strive for excellence in everything I do, and I am committed to protecting your interests and representing your needs to the best of my abilities. You can rest assured knowing that my firm and I will handle your matter with the careful attention to detail that it deserves.My name is Anthony, and I am here for you.

My parents taught me to always treat others as you would like to be treated.  Both my parents worked to provide for our family and they passed their work ethic to me.  The benefit I have is I enjoy my work helping people.. Over the years I have been amazed as how insurance companies try and take advantage of people.  I have helped over a thousand clients during my legal career with their claims against insurance companies.  I have also been a volunteer advocate for people by speaking out against insurance company attempts to pass legislation to prevent injured victims from obtaining fair compensation for their injuries.  This advocacy has taken me to Tallahassee, where I have spoken before multiple legislative committees of the Florida House and Florida Senate on protecting the rights of injured accident victims.  The Florida Consumer Advocate invited me to serve on a blue ribbon panel discussion of Florida Motor Vehicle No-Fault Law.  I was the only practicing attorney who participated in a roundtable discussion with Governor Scott, CFO Atwater, and the Consumer Advocate concerning Florida No-Fault Insurance Coverage.. I enjoy meeting with my clients and offer free consultations for all potential clients.

I am proud to say, we are not an T.V. advertising firm.  Our clients come to us by referrals from current and former clients, other lawyers, doctors, our friends in the community, and people who know of us by reputation.  We are very proud of reputation for responsiveness to our clients and our genuine interest in the welfare of our clients.  Being a non advertising firm means that we have more time to dedicate to our clients’ cases, and I think it is for this reason we have a higher level of client satisfaction compared to the experience of clients at an advertising firm.. I have been continuously practicing law in Florida since 1990 when I started my career as a prosecutor for Janet Reno in Miami. A prosecutor has the highest ethical responsibility of any practice in law, and I admire prosecutors and enjoyed this part of my career. After working as a prosecutor for a few years, I transitioned into private practice, representing victims in civil claims for injury and wrongful death. I have tried cases involving serious injury and death, claims against insurance companies, and represented hundreds of individuals and various civil claims. In the past ten years, my practice has grown to include two unique sub specialties within my civil practice, hospital lien litigation and automotive diminished value claims. I am known within Florida as a resource for help to attorneys and individuals grappling with hospitals’ aggressive tactics of attaching hospital liens against the settlement of a patient. This is a slowly evolving area of law in which clear answers are rare, and collaboration among lawyers is essential for civil practitioners. Diminished value claims are gaining in popularity due to increased consumer awareness of the ability to seek compensation for diminution in value to an automobile, motorcycle, RV, bus, or any valuable car owned by an individual or corporation. Most lawyers seem disinterested in this area of law, but I thoroughly enjoy handling this area of practice. I have found that the owners of expensive cars and motorcycles who retain me in diminished value claims seem to be some of the most satisfied and grateful clients, and this is a great feeling for me as a lawyer.

I am a founding Parnter of Knopf Bigger, a boutique litigation firm with offices in WInter Park, FL and Tampa, FL.  Throughout my career, I have been a zealous advocate for victims of corporate greed and negligence.. My practice
