Practice Areas: Civil , Government Agencies, Personal Injury, Personal Injury

Hello, my name is Michael Davis, and I thank you for visiting my Avvo profile. I know your time is valuable so here is a brief summary of who we are and how we can help you. If you would like more information, please feel free to browse the remainder of our website. I clerked for David Boone in 1979 while I attended law school. In 1981, we began working together. Over the past thirty-five years, we have represented thousands of clients for all kinds of personal injury claims including medical malpractice, auto, truck, and motorcycle accidents, defective products or product liability claims, slip and falls, playground accidents, theme park accidents and victims of criminal attacks occurring at malls, apartments, clubs and bars. We have handled claims with injuries including traumatic brain injuries, paraplegia, quadriplegia, spinal cord injuries, amputations, blindness, CRPS-RSD, herniated discs, broken bones and more. We are always representing people that have suffered an injury. We are here to serve our clients. Some of our staff has been with us for over twenty years and helps us help our clients. We are proud of our profession and we love our work. We try to make all our clients feel special. We think they are. We are litigators. If the at-fault party fails to offer a fair settlement, we will file suit and prepare the case for trial. (Many personal injury lawyers do not litigate – see the section “Why hire us?” #2). We have technology to assist us in presenting a clear and persuasive case on your behalf. Even when we file suit, most of the cases settle before picking a jury. We know that attorney-client communication is one of the most important aspects of the relationship. We want to speak to our clients and hear from them. We return our calls. I give out my cellphone number to clients that want it. We have over 100 cases that settled or resulted in a jury verdict in excess of one million dollars. Many of these were referred to us from satisfied former clients. We want your case and we want your referrals. We know that it is only through exceeding your expectations that you will refer friends and relatives to our firm. The bottom line-most clients are searching for an attorney that will speak clearly, return calls and advise them of the process and, at the same time, an attorney that can obtain the recovery (money) deserved. We can serve your needs. I started this by stating that I’d be brief, so browse the website, review the videos and feel free to contact me at or call

Firm: The Amlong Firm

500 NE 4th St Fl 2 , Fort Lauderdale , Florida 33301

Practice Areas: Business , Civil , Civil Rights, Employment & Labor , Family , Discrimination, Discrimination

I was born on August 26, the anniversary of the day that women won the right to vote. Being politically active and an advocate for women's rights came naturally. A legacy or destiny.. I started college with no thought of becoming an employment discrimination lawyer. As an award-winning high-school artist (National First Prize in the "Hallmark Cards High School Talent Search") I won a full scholarship to Michigan State University, from which I graduated (magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa) with an ever-so-useful degree in Art History.. My radicalizing experience for a born-on-the-26th-of-August woman was not so much an epiphany as a reality check: getting passed over for promotion in my first job out of college for a man because "you'll get married, get pregnant and quit." Women in the 70s were supposed to have husbands, babies and homes, not careers. I sensed that I'd been discriminated against, but didn't know what to do about it. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was only a few years old. Few lawyers brought gender discrimination suits. (The only reason that women had been included in Title VII’s protections was because a segregationist opponent sponsored a floor amendment, thinking that including women would create enough baggage to sink the proposed law.). Jump forward a few years and I was “married with children.” I attended an organizational meeting for a Fort Lauderdale chapter of the National Organization for Women and its message of equality catapulted me into driving around the state for two years in a 1960 Oldsmobile with two babies in tow to organize NOW chapters. I ran for and was elected to the NOW National Board of Directors in 1972. I lobbied in Tallahassee for the Equal Rights Amendment in 1973 and 1974. When the ERA didn’t pass, its proponents threatened to run for office. A male legislator told me that "no one like you (a women’s libber)" could ever get elected. Wrong. I ran and, in 1974 (at age 27), became the first woman from Broward County, Florida, to serve in the Florida House of Representatives. My campaign slogan during that Watergate/watershed year: It's time.. One term in the Florida House was enough. I retired from politics and went to law school, graduating and becoming a lawyer in 1979.. In 1982, I married my now-partner and soul mate Bill Amlong (a former Miami Herald reporter I had met while I was in Tallahassee but that's another story). We started our little mom and pop law firm that year, struggling like most small businesses do. Then I did a lot of family law, while Bill did a little bit of everything.. And then Bill started litigating the discrimination cases my NOW colleagues referred to us, which got us started in employment law. We are still a mom and pop law firm, although we have grown far beyond our initial vision. Now we concentrate almost exclusively on cases involving employment rights. Together, Bill and I have tried and settled hundreds of discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination cases. We've done well. I won Florida's first significant sexual harassment judgment. Stockett v. Tolin, 791 F. Supp. 1536 (S.D. Fla. 1992). Bill won a Supreme Court case that changed the contours of sexual harassment litigation. Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998). In 2018, we tried and won a case, Igwe v. City of Miami, in the Top 100 Verdicts in Florida.. I have practiced 40 years. I am AV Peer Review Rated through Martindale-Hubbell. I've been a Super Lawyer since 2007. I have lectured extensively on employment law, discrimination and sexual harassment on local, state, national and international levels.. I believe in people being judged on what they can do, not on things they can't change like their gender, their race or their age. I love what I do. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a client who came into my office crushed by losing a job or powerless in the face of workplace discrimination regain their confidence.. I can help you fight back against workplace injustice. I can use what I’ve learned in 40 years of practice to help you get the pay or promotion or severance package you deserve. I can point to the results in cases I’ve tried to help convince your former employer to make a fair settlement without litigation. And if your case goes to trial, you’ll have the benefit of the thousands of hours I’ve spent in the courtroom, preparing me to try my most important case yet: yours.. Think about it.

100 SE 3rd Ave. , Fort Lauderdale , Florida 33394

Practice Areas: Civil , Corporate & Incorporation, Corporate & Incorporation

My passion is helping people build successful businesses and then working with those people to protect their hard earned wealth. Through sound business and estate planning, I help people ensure that their wealth and wisdom is passed on the way they want in the manner that they want.. For the last 25 years, I have been in the trenches fighting people’s battles. Before becoming an attorney, I was a Marine Corps officer. I started my legal career resolving business disputes. The longer I practiced, the more I observed two things: 1) regardless of how “right” or “correct” my client was, the court process took an enormous amount of time and money; and 2) many of the issues that occurred during the litigation before a trial or arbitration could very well have been avoided with better planning. If there’s one thing that the Marine Corps taught me is that planning is a key to success. Taking a lesson from the ancient Master of Strategy, Sun Tzu, those who properly plan ahead will be successful in all their endeavors. The truth is that both businesses and people need to plan ahead, especially for those they care about the most.As a Marine, I learned about mission accomplishment, strategy, and tactics. I decided that I would build a practice on performing these tasks for clients. Defining a client’s goals gives clarity on what needs to be accomplished. Strategies can then be created to achieve a client’s goals. Throughout the strategy development process, the client participates, comments and questions. Once a particular strategy is chosen, tactics are then picked to implement the strategy. One of the biggest benefits of working with us is that you as the client, will have developed a stronger relationship with us once the initial goal-setting and strategy development process is completed. This merger of legal acumen and military strategy means that all work is focused on accomplishing client goals. Think about it – a law firm dedicated to helping people navigate the legal needs for their business and their personal life. Business plans that work, both now and in the future. Estate plans that exist to benefit the people for whom they were designed. An attorney who is here to make things as simple for you and your family.
