Maria O'Donnell

If you are looking for an attorney who truly understands the insurance industry from the inside out, look no further than Ms. O’Donnell. Having owned the largest female-owned insurance defense firm in Florida from 2005–2014, she represented industry giants like State Farm, Allstate, and Citizens Prop...erty Insurance Corporation. Now, since 2014, she has pivoted to protecting the people, using that invaluable, deep-rooted knowledge to champion plaintiff cases in Personal Injury, PIP, and First Party Property claims. She is absolutely amazing at what she does because she knows exactly how insurance carriers think, how they delay, and how they deny claims—and she knows how to beat them at their own game. Ms. O’Donnell is an powerhouse advocate for her clients, assisting homeowners with complex insurance claims to get their homes repaired after damage and fighting for victims of negligence in personal injury matters. Her transition from leading a major defense firm to fighting for plaintiffs means she holds a strategic advantage, providing a high-quality, professional, and dedicated approach that is rare in the Florida legal community. What makes her truly standout is not just her legal acumen, but her heart. Beyond her legal practice, she has run a volunteer program for nine years, dedicating her time to helping children with after-school education. Additionally, her dedication to the law began early—she holds the prestigious distinction of being the first student to ever donate a moot court seat to a professor at Brooklyn Law School, where she also served as an intern for the Supreme Court of New York. If you need a brilliant, highly experienced attorney who is compassionate to your situation but ruthless in pursuing the compensation you deserve, Ms. O’Donnell is the premier choice. She is truly a professional of the highest quality.
