Knowledgeable Compassionate Attorney

I was recommended to speak with Roger Orlando regarding my complex premises liability injury. He is very passionate toward potential and current clients, easy to speak with and makes the victim feel they matter. He extended his one on one time, to review documents and listen to my concerns, going abo...ve and beyond. Along with reviewing documents, he reasoned with compassion, further helping me understand a clearer understanding of the circumstances involved with this injury. For an injured party, whether yourself or your minor loved one, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you do not reach out to Roger Orlando's firm for assistance. The staff is amazing, all very polite and understanding the urgency when calling to request a meeting. Roger wasn't able to sign me as a client, not because he didn't want to or didn't have the knowledge, rather than because of deadlines that have surpassed preventing necessary acts needed. Another important factor to many from areas outside of the city, is parking, the parking is within walking steps to the front door, and easy to access. Please do not make the same mistake I did. Please do NOT delay calling Roger Orlando's firm, the sooner you call, the better.

Even though he was not my lawyer or firm ...the service I provided was excellent. A lawyer named Arman spoke with me regarding a tractor trailer/car accident that happen. He was cordial, professional and gave me some great advice as to what to do for my case. I was so impressed even though the case... (which was dropped by another firm) had me with headaches because the insurance company refused to pay and then the law firm dropped me after 8 months. He even had me laughing even though I was feeling depressed about the whole matter. He gave me some advice that I really needed. I thank you so much Arman..I truly thank you so much!

A God send in my time of need

Ms Wilson has been a God send in my distress situation with my injury on the job. I was being denied my benefits and Ms Wilson and Andrial King has stepped in and resolved that situation and help to with many others that has come up in my case that was causing me major stress. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMME...ND THEM TO ANYONE WHO IS INJURED ON THE JOB BECAUSE THEY GET THE JOB DONE AND DO IT WITH YOU IN MIND. LOVE THESE GUYS AND THANK THEM GREATLY FOR THEIR HELP.

My Experience with the Orlando Law firm

I called Attorney Orlando after seeing him in a commercial. He appeared sincere, intelligent and was exactly the kind of person I would want representing me against a large company. His commercial said that when you call him, you get him not some other attorney. However, that is exactly what happened.... When I showed up at their office, another attorney told me they were representing me in my case. After leaving I called Mr. Orlando directly. I will say this - he called me back immediately. He told me that the attorney that was chosen to represent me was more qualified and experienced in my kind of case (workman's comp). However, I could never reach this attorney and they never kept me informed of what was going on. After several months (5 or 6) that attorney left the firm (for reasons that were not disclosed) and another attorney took over. Problem is, no one told me about this. I found out 6 weeks later when I emailed them to find out why the settlement offer that had already been offered by the company was taking so long. The new attorney had no idea what I was talking about and once he determined there was indeed an offer (that had been sitting on a desk for six weeks) he developed a little bit of an attitude. After reading the contract I didn't like the wording and asked him he if we could have the company make some changes. After a long debate, he finally agreed. Two weeks later I hadn't heard from him so I emailed him and asked him "If it was just me, or was the company taking a long time to respond". He replied to my email with three words "It's just you". But... he attached a re-written contract submitted by the company and it was dated the same day as we had requested the original changes (which was two weeks earlier). Turns out they had made the requested changes the same day and two weeks later he still hadn't notified me. There were many other similar problems later when trying to schedule a time to pick up my settlement check but I think you get the idea. I wouldn't use this firm again and I wouldn't recommend them.

Replied last April 15, 2013

While I always am disappointed if I fail to live up to a client's standards, I was this gentleman's attorney (I had another attorney and a paralegal who assisted me; hence the confusion and reason this gentleman was not informed of a staff change at my firm). I cannot discuss this reviewer's specific case because of attorney-client confidentiality, but as he says, he previously worked with "6-10 lawyers" which should say it all. Finally, as for keeping a client informed, at the start of each case a client at the firm receives a letter from me stating that we inform the client of "all significant developments" on their case and the letter outlines all of the ways to contact me. Each time this gentleman called, I accepted (or returned) his call and discussed his case. I PROMISE ANYONE READING THIS THAT I ALWAYS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SPEAK TO YOU WITHIN 24 HOURS OF A CALL, occasionally weekends excluded. To this gentleman, Mr. S., I again apologize if I did not fulfill your expectations. I always strive to improve and appreciate the feedback, both good and bad, to help us become even more professional and better at client service. As i frequently remind my clients - as I did you - "I work for you." Roger W. Orlando toll free: 1-866-373-1800 [email protected]

"Roger is a great attorney both personally and professionally. He does not waste time focusing in on the legal issues and working hard to resolve them to his client's benefit. Although we were opposing attorneys on a divorce case, his professionalism was a major component in a favorable settlement for his client. His team of attorneys, paralegals and staff are friendly, well coordinated and organized. It made working with his entire office a pleasure and I highly recommend him."
