Our process
We handle the insurance company. You focus on healing.
Every new case is reviewed by a founding partner within 24 hours. From the first call to the final check, the same senior attorney stays on your file — no transfers, no case managers, no hand-offs to a junior associate the carrier has never heard of.
- Intake
Senior attorney call within 24 hours. We pull your records, file the FR-10, and put spoliation letters on every defendant before they delete a thing.
- Investigation
Crash-scene reconstruction, ELD & dash-cam preservation, expert reports. We build the file like it's going to a jury — because some of them do.
- Negotiation
Demand package goes out only when the medical picture is clear. We let carriers know which firms try cases, and we're on that list.
- Trial
Most files resolve before trial. The ones that don't get a 5-7 day jury trial in Miami-Dade or Broward Circuit — not a settlement on the courthouse steps.

From the people we've represented
What our clients say
They explained everything in Spanish, came to my house when I couldn't drive, and got us more than the first offer. David answered every call himself.
Sterling & Reyes sent the spoliation letter the same day. Two months later the trucking company settled. I felt heard the entire way.
Maria walked us through the Chapter 766 pre-suit step by step. We never met a single screener — only attorneys. That is rare.
Common questions
How much does it cost to talk to a lawyer?
Nothing. Initial case reviews are free, and we work on contingency — you owe no fees unless we recover for you.How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?
Most personal-injury claims in Florida must be filed within two years (recently shortened from four). Medical malpractice has its own pre-suit timeline. Call early — evidence and witnesses fade fast.What is your contingency percentage?
Standard Florida contingency is 33⅓% pre-suit, 40% if we file suit, with the percentages set by the Florida Bar fee rules. We explain the math in writing before you sign anything.Will my case go to trial?
Most cases resolve before trial, but we prepare every file as if it will. Insurance carriers track which firms actually try cases; we are on that list.How long do personal injury cases take in Florida?
It depends. Clear-liability auto cases sometimes resolve in 6-9 months. Med-mal and wrongful-death cases typically take 18-36 months. We give you a realistic timeline at the first meeting.Do you handle cases in Spanish?
Sí. Maria Sterling, David Reyes, and most of our intake team are fully bilingual. Atendemos casos en español todos los días.What should I bring to a free case review?
Anything you have — police report, photos, medical bills, insurance correspondence, the at-fault driver's information. If you have nothing yet, come anyway.What is 'no fee unless we win' actually mean?
We advance the costs of your case — filing fees, expert witnesses, depositions, court reporters. If we don't recover for you, you owe us nothing — not the fee, not the costs.
