Outstanding Attorney

Jimmy Fasig represented me in a personal injury case and I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about him and his firm. They are not only amazingly professional but they sincerely demonstrated compassion for me in my situation and were always available to respond to any questions or concerns I... had. I would not hesitate to recommend Fasig Brooks to anyone.

Good Advice for Resolution

Several years ago I was being taken advantage of (i.e. ripped off) by a “medical professional”. Jimmy gave me solid advice to get my money back without going to court. I can’t thank him enough and highly recommend him.

Posted by Mike | November 04, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Abandoned my case

I hired Mr. Fasig after hearing good things about his firm. After signing the contract with them, everything changed. James soon passed my case to an inexperienced attorney who did a poor job representing me. I was very unhappy with the outcome and with the way the firm neglected my needs. They d...id not put forth any effort to maximize my settlement or even try to negotiate a higher outcome. James never even took the time to meet me or even shake my hand. He did not provide any good legal advice for me and i would not recommend hiring him. I was very disappointed with this firm and Mr. Fasig.

Best lawyer ever!

Mr. Fasig was the most professional, thorough, and knowledgeable lawyer I have ever had the pleasure to represent me. The only thing that is better then his professional ability is his passion for his client and their case to seek out what is right for his client. These skills helped me in my time of... need.

Great Lawyer

Jimmy worked diligently on my case and achieved 100% success. He is surrounded by excellent partners and staff. He didn't accept anything less. If I need his services again I will call without hesitation

"I endorse this lawyer. Jimmy approaches cases with an amazing amount of energy and dedication. He is a trustworthy, hardworking advocate and I would recommend him to anyone seeking representation for a personal injury case."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I've worked for Jimmy and his team of personal injury lawyers since July 2016. Prior to joining Jimmy's firm, I represented insurance companies and their insureds for over 15 years and worked as an opposing counsel to Jimmy numerous times. After having battled Jimmy for so many years and now working side by side with him on the same team, I can honestly say that Jimmy is an outstanding trial attorney with a heart of gold who obtains excellent results for his clients. His passion for representing those who have been injured is unmatched. He has so many talents that few other trial lawyers possess: experience, compassion, creativity, courage, and the eagerness and aptitude to fight for the rights of his clients. I am very proud to work with Jimmy and cannot endorse him highly enough."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I highly endorse Jimmy Fasig. I have worked closely with Jimmy for almost seven years, initially as an associate and now as one of his law partners. He is a caring advocate who always places his clients' interests above his own. In addition to being well-respected in the legal community, he is also highly ethical and professional. I have always found Jimmy to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced in personal injury matters, generously sharing practical advice with his colleagues. When an injured person is faced with the daunting task of deciding which personal injury firm to retain, one of the biggest dangers is choosing a firm which essentially treats the client as merely a name on a file and does not provide the client with an opportunity to meet and work with his/her attorney. Jimmy, however, distinguishes himself in this regard by putting forth extra effort to form personal relationships with his clients and to provide them with exceptional, personalized service."

I can not recommend an attorney any more strongly, it has been my great pleasure working with him and learning from him."

"I have worked for Jimmy for the past 5 years. I started my law career at his firm as a law clerk and now work there as an attorney. During that time I have had a chance to observe Jimmy achieve astonishing results for his clients both in and out of the courtroom. He is a tireless advocate that is truly passionate about his work and obtaining justice for all of his clients."

"There are not enough words in the dictionary for me to express my sincere admiration of the fine attorney James Fasig has become. We attended law school together, and I later worked for him, and now he is my go-to attorney to serve as co-counsel on any serious accident case. He heads up a very capable team of lawyers, as the head partner in a small injury law firm. In my experience, his law firm is very different from most injury firms, which often have paralegals giving advice, rather than lawyers. This might be why his law firm has won so many awards, including best Tallahassee law firm for many years in a row. He also just last week won a 5.5 million dollar verdict--doesn't get much better than that! He puts his heart and soul into all of his cases, and is the toughest of negotiators. You are going to love this attorney, if he is able to accept your case. Great person, too!"

"I worked for Mr. Fasig in law school and now am his colleague. He's one of the hardest working lawyers for plaintiffs in the area. He's always had a love for litigation and insurance companies know that. You can't go wrong hiring Barrett, Fasig, & Brooks."

"I want to endorse Jimmy Fasig as a committed, enthusiastic, legal advocate for injured persons who find themselves going up against insurance companies and big business. Jimmy understands how tort reform has made it more expensive and difficult for average citizens to pursue justice and receive fair compensation. And most importantly, his concern for his clients doesn't end after the checks are written. He takes an interest in their lives and tries to help them achieve their dreams. I'm proud to be his law partner."

He always takes time to answer any question in a simple, understandable way. He is masterful in his practice of law and always aggressively fights for his clients' rights. I have been a trial lawyer for over 10 years, and I can give no higher compliment than to say, if I needed a lawyer myself, I would retain the best lawyer I know . . . James Fasig."
