BEST lawyer!

I can't say enough good things about Tom!! After my car accident I was absolutely terrified and lost and he put me at ease instantly. He responded to every text, email and call. I was never in the dark or confused. He got the highest payout possible and I am forever grateful for him. If you need a la...wyer- choose him!!!

The Great Case!

With such a big law firm such as Morgan & Morgan you really wonder will the attorneys really match up to the commercials as they are so good. Tom was that and more. He and my case manager, Colleen Smith, went above and beyond to where I would recommend them to anybody. I could call them at anytime an...d they always returned my text or calls and I never had to worry about my case with them. I never felt like they were going to cheat me like some firms but that they would do the best they could for me. Thanks again for making me feel like family and the commercial truly does match up to the attorneys and firm itself as they are truly #forthepeople

Authuree D.

I would like to thank Attorney Caldwell for the service him and his team provided. He made himself available to me any time I had any questions or concerns. Tom made sure that I received more money than the cost and fees and was insistent upon that. I will be sure to use him in the future regarding a...ny legal matters as I know he and his staff will go beyond the call of duty

Very Helpfull and compassionate as well as hardworking and effective.

There are many competent attorneys in our area. However my experience with Mr. Caldwell was that he was not only competent but performed above expectations. He is very compassionate and approachable. My questions were always answered quickly and proffesionally by him or his staff. I was never made t...o feel like "only" a client or like my case was any less importaant to others. I am sorry to say that he was not the first atttoney I consulted but after I was told by a lawyer in Daytona that my case was too "small" I called Rue and Ziffra and was reffered to Mr. Caldwell. After being assured over the phone that my case was not "small" or insignificant I met with Mr. Caldwell at his office. I found him to be caring, friendly, proffesional, and reassuring, not dismissive. I felt I was in good hands. I explained that I was not looking for a financial windfall from this accident Just what's right. I was told he would do his best and felt confident this was the case. My medical needs were taken care of and I was updated on a regular basis. The settlement offer was more than I expected and was not forced on me. After the case was settled I was not made to feel like a mere meal ticket but felt that he had genuine concern for my welfare.
