Review Title

Jim Hannon is an amazing attorney! He represented me when I was seriously injured many years ago and did such a good job with my case, he was the first one I thought to call when I learned that my fourteen year old daughter had been the victim of sexual assault and was recruited from her high school ...to be in pornographic videos. Mr. Hannon handled this very sensitive situation with professionalism, skill and class. He always communicated with us to keep us posted on what was going on and explained the process every step of the way. He treated us like family. He maintained confidentiality while working very hard to hold the video production company accountable for their actions. In the end, Jim secured a very large, life-changing award for our family. He made a very difficult situation tolerable and was a real blessing to me and my family. I highly recommend Jim Hannon for any case involving personal injury, sexual assault or medical malpractice. He is the best!

James Hannon, Esquire

Jim Hannon, Esquire. Jim the main reason I retained you as our attorney was that my daughter has known you and your family for a long time and she trusted you and new that you specialized in accident cases like mine. I also must mention that in the process of selecting you a key consideration... was that my son that is an attorney gave his approval to retain you based on your legal expertise, reputation and standing in the community. I have always trusted my son and my daughter’s judgement and in your case, they were right again. At all times you and the members of your staff have been extremely professional, have been ready available whenever I needed to confer with you and most importantly you always kept me informed of the progress of my case and of what realistically the outcome should have been. During the final negotiations you involved me in the negotiations and you were able to maximize the settlement that I received. I'm very happy with the level of service that you gave me, and I thank you, and my daughter and my son for looking after me.

Excellence and personality

I was injured severely in a construction accident and was paralyzed. I was from Ft. Lauderdale and the accident was in Miami. I contacted Jim to tell him my situation, I was desperate. With his calming and reassuring voice I felt more at ease. He explained the case would be difficult, do to Workman's... Comp Immunity but he was totally honest stating he was "cautiously optimistic". Without ever promising more then he could deliver. He delivered big time! Against many odds and a very complicated case he prevailed big time!! Jim is a one of a kind attorney and anyone would be well served by having him as their attorney. He's the best. Thanks Jim!

Fantastic service!

Mr. Hannon assisted me in a case agaisnt my car insurance following an accident and was fantastic through the entire process, even when it was a bit difficult for me. He always updated me on what was happening and prepared me through every step so I always knew what to anticipate. His team was availa...ble at any time to answer my questions and sometimes just checked in with me. I can not thank the Hannon legal team enough for the way they thoughtfully handled my case.

Great People. Great results.

Based on my experience, I was asked to write a review on various professionals sites including Avvo. Mr. Hannon and his assistants provided me with an unrivaled level of service in my experience with legal professionals. I wish to express my gratitude here. After surviving a very serious car wreck..., I began having issues handling everything. Due to a friend’s glowing recommendation, I chose Mr. Hannon to represent me. From the first meeting, his stern but understanding disposition had me convinced that the case would be handled properly. It certainly was as he delivered a result that exceeded my expectations in both resolution time and dollar amount. Both of his paralegals have lovely voices and are personable characters. They kept me in the loop every step of the way. Because I’m curious, they even helped decipher complicated paperwork in a way that I was able to easily comprehend. With respect to Mr. Hannon's legal prowess, I’m pleased in giving him my highest praises and strong recommendation. He will be a valuable advocate if you're struggling and need guidance & resolution.

"I have known Jim for about 22 of my 25 years of law practice. In recent years I have had the pleasure of working alongside him and his office team on medical malpractice cases. Hands down, he is intelligent, thoughtful, resourceful, respectful, a man of true integrity with tremendous capacity for compassion for others. He is an extremely capable and very skilled trial attorney with a genuine demeanor that connects with juries, adversaries, opposing counsel, judges, experts, and adjusters. He is never when a colleague needs help. He is generous and just a truly wonderful, ethical professional that I am privileged to call my colleague. His practice is plaintiffs personal injury and he is adept at all facets of that.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"If the joke about lawyers is that they cannot be trusted, Jim Hannon wrecks the punchline. He is one of the most honest, straight-shooting men I've ever met -- and knows the law inside out, whether its on personal injury, medical malpractice, class action, premises liability, or civil litigation in general. When someone needs a lawyer, it means they are in crisis. There are few people I would trust more if I were in crisis than Jim Hannon. I'd recommend him to my own family."
