Not Powerless. Just Needed the Right Lawyer.

I reached out for a consultation without knowing what to expect, and what I got was immediate clarity. He is exceptionally clear, direct, and efficient in how he communicates. Within one conversation, he broke down a complex employment situation into something I could actually understand and act o...n. He explained my rights, what qualifies as a violation, how to approach next steps, and how to protect myself from potential retaliation. What sets him apart is the combination of sharp legal insight and real empathy. He listens closely, understands your perspective quickly, and responds in a way that makes you feel both informed and supported. I left the call feeling clear-headed, grounded, and confident in how to move forward. No confusion. No overwhelm. Just a solid understanding of the situation and a path ahead. If you’re dealing with a high-stress or unclear employment issue and need someone who can cut through the noise, give you straight answers, and help you think strategically, he’s the person to call. I would absolutely recommend him.

A True Guardian Angel and Legal Ally

After my father was left brain damaged due to a work accident, he helped me navigate the ins and outs of dealing with workers comp. Every time they tried to pull some crap like refuse to pay his caregivers or delay his therapy, Sal got on top of it and made things better. His whole crew was very eff...icient and personable. He was always available when needed and very good at breaking things down as we jumped from legal hoop to legal hoop. He is definitely someone you want fighting for you.

Great Worker’s Compensation Attorney

Sal Sicuso represented me in a Worker’s Comp case, not only was he extremely professional, but very knowledgeable about my case. Mr. Sicuso and his staff kept me informed every step of the way, and he was always reachable. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend him, and ...I would call him without a doubt if I ever need an attorney.

Great Lawyer !

Sal and his staff handled the personal injury case from my car accident. He always kept me informed, was empathetic and fought hard to get me every dollar. I have no hesitation recommending him for any legal matter where you need an ethical, knowledgeable advocate!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I have worked on many cases with Sal including workers’ compensation, personal injury, employment, and family law cases. I can honestly say that Sal is a “superb” lawyer in every respect. First, Sal is considered among the best of the best in workers’ compensation. He is one of only 202 Board certified workers’ compensation lawyers in the entire state of Florida, and only one of ten Board certified workers’ compensation attorneys in Miami Dade County. Second, Sal is also "AV" rated by the Martindale Hubbell directory - the highest peer review rating an attorney can achieve. Martindale Hubbell is the premier attorney peer review rating directory. Moreover, having worked for big insurance companies for over 15 years, Sal knows all the players in the game. Therefore, he can get things done with a phone call that many lawyers could never get done. Sal never ceases to amaze me with his deep knowledge of the law, and his ability to achieve great results."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
