    I employ a full court press strategy to maximize the recovery for my client in the shortest amount of time. I utilize the litigation process to negotiate from a position of strength, placing insurance companies in fear of bad faith claims. I handle all kinds of personal injury cases, including car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, simple negligence, medical malpractice, and products liability.

Jimmy is the leader of our personal injury division and lead trial counsel on most of our non-medical malpractice cases. In 2000, he started his law career as a paralegal for what was then Eubanks & Barrett. In his first full year as a lawyer, he litigated a case that resulted in a 1.6 million dollar recovery. His client walked away with more than a million dollars after paying attorney fees and costs. Jimmy became a partner and shareholder in the law firm that same year.

Since then, Jimmy has had numerous multimillion and million dollar recoveries. In 2015, he was listed in the nation’s top 1% of lawyers when he obtained a 5.4 million dollar verdict and a 3.1 million dollar judgment from a jury trial in Gadsden County, Florida.

Jimmy has witnessed firsthand the way insurance companies and big businesses take advantage of people, and he has developed a strategy he calls the “full court press” strategy for achieving justice for his clients. He loves being a lawyer, and he loves fighting for his clients in front of a jury. His most compelling characteristic is his love for the people he serves. He demonstrates compassion for his clients both in and out of the courtroom.

If you are looking for a compassionate, aggressive attorney who will fight for your rights, Jimmy is the attorney for you.

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.

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

Excellent Legal Representative
Jimmy didn't hesitate to take my case -- after 2 other attorneys became frightened to defend me against a national mega corporation! His assurance and expertise helped me to focus on working with experts to get my injuries treated and my health restored.

Jimmy is an excellent attorney!
Jimmy is a very personable attorney. He is thorough, always kept me informed about the status of my case, and responded quickly to my inquiries. I always trusted that Jimmy had my best interests at heart. Most importantly, however, he is very knowledgable. And on the rare occasion that he didn't know the answer, he researched it and quickly got back to me. A good lawyer is familiar with the law, cares about his clients, and is committed to obtaining the best possible result for his client. And that's exactly what Jimmy did for me.

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 did 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.

Personal injury Attorney | Mar 23
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"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."
Personal injury Attorney | Oct 06
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."
Personal injury Attorney | May 07
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."
Personal injury Attorney | May 07
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. Jimmy is a very experienced and knowledgeable trial attorney who has proven to be very successful in the courtroom. He doesn't back down and he fights for his clients. Jimmy is one of our area's best lawyers and I can say this from a first hand perspective."
Personal injury Attorney | May 07
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"Jimmy is an excellent trial lawyer. He truly has a passion for justice and does everything within his power to achieve that goal for his clients. His hard work, determination, and positive attitude are an incredible motivating force and it has been my pleasure to work for him."
Personal injury Attorney | May 07
Relationship: Co-worker
"Jimmy Fasig is an incredible advocate and litigator. He uses his years of experience to fight vigorously for his clients and he takes the time to get to know each and every one of them. Over the years I have been impressed by his dedication to justice, his ability to find hidden value in every case and his incredible passion and compassion for his clients. I can not recommend an attorney any more strongly, it has been my great pleasure working with him and learning from him."
Personal injury Attorney | May 07
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. Jimmy Fasig is a trial lawyer's trial lawyer: hard working, compassionate, tireless advocate, student of the law, champion of the underdog. I have been honored to know Jimmy for over 20 years and practice with him. He always goes the extra mile to secure justice for his clients. I enthusiastically endorse Jimmy Fasig!"
Personal injury Attorney | May 07
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"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."
Personal injury Attorney | May 06
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"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!"
Personal injury Attorney | May 06
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"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."
