Paolo Longo Jr.

I am now a retired paramedic/firefighter who served my department proudly for 30 years. About seven years prior to my retirement while on a drill at work my cardiac saga began. While taking vitals signs from drill participants, I was told for the first time in my life that I had multi-focal PVC's. I ...was placed on medical leave by my department and began a month-long journey of cardiac testing. At the end of the testing, I was told by the counties risk management department that my cardiac event was not work-related. I was confused by this decision since I had kept my medical records for the previous 23 years worth of department physicals and had never had a single PVC. I hired a different law firm back then who represented me in this matter and was NOT able to help me recover my lost medical time. I was released and proudly went back to work. During my next scheduled yearly medical exam at work again they placed me on medical leave because my PVC's were still present. This time I did some research and decided to hire the law firm of Bichler and Longo to represent me. Needless to say, the results were completely different this time. With the help of Paolo Longo and his staff, I was able to get coverage from the state of Florida under The Heart and Lung Bill this time around, and know going forward that I can receive the cardiac help I need. I have to give a special thank you to Angela Umana who works at the Coral Gables office of Bichler and Longo, for being such a dedicated, compassionate professional, thank you.

Although the title of this review is one word Mr. Longo has consistently been attentive and results driven on all my cases. He is available to answer questions and has a great team in place. As a first responder for many years I feel that my health would be in jeopardy if I didn't retain his services... to receive the benefits I needed.
