Paul Gerad Finizio

I contacted Paul Finizio and the Finizio Law Group after a recommendation from a close friend. Paul answered the phone quickly, and, after amiable introductions, we scheduled a time to discuss my personal injury and the role he and the Finizio Law Group could play if I elect their services. I have n...ever filed a claim of personal injury. I was averse to the idea, because, as a college student, I worried that filing a claim would complicate my focus on scholastic endeavors. After talking with my parents, I moved forward with the Finizio Law Group. My worries were misplaced. The team at the Finizio Law Group had conducted themselves efficiently and routinely detailed the progress of my claim despite instances in which contacting me was difficult. Sending documents to them was easy, because the accepted various forms of communication. In terms of communication, I was not the greatest client; however, Paul always remained kind and always motivated me with each call. He supported me during a time in my life in which the injury obscured the path I chose to follow to my future. I appreciated the fact that I could take the backseat while Paul filed claims and litigated, because my focused myself on adapting to the changes that occurred and finding my direction again. I will always thank Paul and the team, because their work has added to the security of my future and family’s future. There are few ways to express my gratitude for that.

Paul and Nathalie(his paralegal) were so helpful with my case, a car accident where I was not at fault. I called them the day I got in the accident and from that point forward, Nathalie handled everything from top to bottom including talking with the insurance companies and negotiating medical bills ...and helping me with appointments. The day I got in the accident it was a total nightmare but Nathalie and Paul made everything so much less stressful than I thought it would be. Any time I needed an update on the case, Paul and Nathalie would always provide it for me. The case took a while to settle thanks to the insurance company (not naming names) but Paul and Nathalie came to mediation with me, helped me stay relaxed and gave me reassurance throughout the entire process. I am happy with the way everything turned out and if you are looking for true professionalism and diligence in your case I would highly recommend using this office. Thank you again!

This is the last firm I would recommend anyone to call after an accident! I was hit head-on by a drunk driver in Miami and referred to Paul Finizio of Finizio & Finizio Law in Fort Lauderdale by attorney, Chris Salamone (former partner of attorney, Scott Rothstein). This turned out to be a decision s...o heavily regretted! Paul Finizio missed several of my own court appearances, which was very concerning! One court date, he even went so far as to send an attorney that was not even from his firm but was just a casual friend of his, who did not know anything about my case or the drunk driver who hit me head-on, to show up in his place. I found this to be very odd at my own court hearing when I had expected my own attorney to be there! I had also just had a very serious surgery so had really wanted him to there; not some stranger who knew nothing of my case at all. While the first part of my personal injury case settled quickly only because I (MYSELF) requested BMW preserve the recorded onstar confession of the drunk driver admitting to being drunk at the time of hitting my vehicle, my case with Finizio and Finizio Law was ongoing due to my UM (UnderInsured Motorist) Policy and a potential Bad Faith Claim. Finizio & Finizio Law continued to work on the UM portion of my case as I underwent more than 20 (twenty) surgical procedures, including a life-threatening internal bleeding situation, only to find out that my medical records that I had been zealously forwarding to my law firm after every procedure with a spreadsheet of all appointments were NEVER ever sent to my insurance adjuster over the last two (2) years! While all my email correspondences with Finizio Law confirmed that they were in communication with USAA all this entire time (my insurance company), it was not until I decided to call USAA myself last week that I learned that Finizio & Finizio Law, under the supervision of Paul Finizio, has not been in contact with USAA even ONCE in 2018 and I learned this at the end of November of 2018 and recorded the phone call with two-party consent. But wait- there's more!! USAA actually closed my case in March 2018 due to "Lack of Attorney Response" and when I asked my lawyer, Finizio claims to not have even known it was closed! (Yet, their emails all year said they were in touch with my adjuster all year (which of course I have saved and documentatee)... and then I spoke to my insurance adjuster who confirmed he had not spoken or received any mail, fax, phone or email correspondence (not even ONCE) from my lawyer or firm this year (2018)!! Seems they had mislead me and mis-informed me from the truth all year! Then, I asked Finizio if there was some kind of prejudice or bias because of the prior incident in which I asked to communicate only with a female in his office), to learn why I, as a client, had been treated so negligently. I'm still waiting for that answer. As a female, I'd especially warn clients to steer VERY clear from this law firm. This is not a safe or efficient law office that I would recommend anyone to go to. They often take weeks to respond to any call or emails, even when "URGENT" in the subject line, which goes completely against Florida Bar's statutes on how attorneys should communicate with active clients (The Florida Bar's website clearly states that your attorney must respond within 48 hours and if they don't, they must respond in writing within 7 days WHY they didn't! Not professional, efficient or ethical! Be warned!! Choose a different firm!
