Mel and his team were very effective and efficient every step of the way. Any questions or concerns that arose were responded to promptly and handled appropriately. The firm was very welcoming at a difficult time and I was fortunate to have had the experience of working with them. I have and will continue to in the future recommend this practice.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my son
I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Melvin "Mel" Wright and his whole team for all he has done for my son. At a very, very dismal time in our lives, when we literally felt all odds were against us because of very particular immunity laws surrounding our case, Mel fought long and hard and hung in there until he found a vein of hope to help my son in his recovery. Mel never gave up no matter how many dead-ends nor obstacles we faced. Our case was not an easy case at all due to the facts and extreme injuries involved. Mel made himself easily available to offer explanations to my many, many questions or even to just hear me rant or vent about the unfairness of immunity laws. Mel became not only our attorney but a true confidant. He truly goes above and beyond to make his clients feel like family. In a time when attorneys are a dime a dozen, Mel and his team, the whole firm actually, exceeded my expectations. If we ever need an attorney again, without a doubt, we would definitely call Mel. And, we most definitely would refer Mel Wright without any questions.

medical malpractice wrongful death
Referred from attorney to attorney re: death of wife due to elective surgery. Wrongful death due to medical malpractice in Florida is very difficult to pursue. Mr Wright and his staff put together a case that not only ended with a favorable settlement but reconciled my family with the local MD. I would hope that no one would need such services in the future, but if you do, I would highly recomend Mr Wright. I prefer to remain annonymous as this is a small town.

Information Technology Manager
My family and I recently employed the services of the Law firm Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter located in Orlando Florida. Mr. Melvin Wright was the lead attorney for our case, involving a traffic accident which resulted in the death of our mother. Throughout our ordeal Melvin demonstrated a through knowledge of the law, while patiently explaining each phase in ways we could understand. Most importantly he showed compassion and understanding during a very difficult time for us. While our settlement was not significant we always felt he had our best interests in mind. In the end we were very pleased with his representation and would highly recommend the services of his firm and particularly those of Mr. Melvin Wright.
Thank you Mr. Wright for all your kindness.
Sincerely
William Allen Shader

I highly recommend Mr. Wright
Melvin Wright's legal acumen and service was exceptional. He was recommended to me through an attorney friend, and was able to obtain a just settlement with an abusive nursing home. He is very experienced in this and other areas of civil law, and his staff could not have been more helpful. He is also a caring, compassionate person, who strives to help his clients navigate the sometimes treacherous waters of these types of cases. I highly recommend his services, as well as his firm, Colling, Gilbert, Wright and Carter.
