About Richard
Biography
Since 1984, I have been representing victims of negligence in automobile, trucking, motorcycle accidents and all other personal injury cases. This includes products liability, premises and medical malpratice. I have served on the board of directors of the Florida Justice Association and was inducted to the Eagle Hall of Fame Members of the FJA. I have handled thousands of negligence case with many multi-million dollar awards. In 2024 alone, I was awarded over 50 Million dollars in results for my clients where I personally handled every part of the case.
I continue to meet every client who calls my firm personally and handle all significant aspects of the cases, including trial. I do not advertise outside of my website and receive 90% of my cases from attorneys who do not practice personal injury from some of most respected law firms in the country. Many other referrals come from past clients who have appreciated the personal attention they have received during their case and the outstanding results. Our firm does not need to advertise because of the results obtained over the past 40 years. I have personally collected over 150 million dollars for my clients.
I have been honored with an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating given, and have held this rating every year for over 30 years.
I have thousands of very happy clients that have received great settlement and jury verdicts.

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Rick and I were prosecutors together at the State Attorney's Office in Orlando. When we left and went into private practice I went into criminal law and Rick went into personal injury law. I have been referring 100% of our PI cases to Rick since that time. Virtually every client that we have referred to Rick has been extremely happy with his results. Virtually all the feedback our clients have given us has been extremely positive. Therefore, we continue to refer 100% of our PI cases to Rick. His results are outstanding. Rick is extremely diligent, hard-working, conscientious, open-minded and intelligent.

Rick is an awesome person and lawyer."
"I endorse Rick Troutman. Rick is a class act. For many years he has justifiably enjoyed a reputation as being one of Central Florida's top tier Personal injury attorneys. Without reservation, I agree with others who have described Rick as an extremely client-focused attorney. Not only does Rick achieve great results but he and his firm sincerely care about their clients and their welfare. Keep it up Rick."

"I worked for Rick Troutman as an attorney for about eight years. I watched Rick try a variety of cases to Central Florida juries, and represent clients at mediation. Ricks is an excellent trial attorney because people, and juries, trust him. He has that personality in which people feel a natural and comfortable since of confidence and trust in him. Rick is also skilled at getting excellent results at mediation. Since most cases settle at mediation, you want to hire an attorney that is skilled at presenting your case at mediation, and has excellent negotiation skills. Rick is very clever at getting great results at mediation, which benefit his clients due to lower costs and much lower stress and hassle. Lawyers do not really brag about mediation skills, but being a lawyer who gets excellent results at mediation is critical as many cases settle in mediation. Rick has never had to advertise as his reputation and satisfied clients enable him to attract an excellent clientele."
"I have known Rick for more than 10 years. During that time, I have referred numerous personal injury cases to him. Rick is unlike many personal injury calls in that he promptly takes and returns phone calls yet manages to settle claims for his clients at a rapid pace. I would encourage people to use Rick without reservation. He's that good."

Often these cases have had novel fact patterns or issues of law which have required creative approaches. Mr. Troutman has shown uncommon compassion for those I have referred to him, pursuing the interests of his clients from all possible sources of recovery, using aggressive negotiating technique. In the greater Orlando area, Mr. Troutman is my first choice when contemplating referral of a client who has been injured, be it as the victim of negligence, medical malpractice or otherwise."
