As a Board Certified Workers' Compensation Lawyer, I'm privileged to help injured workers obtain the medical and lost wage benefits they deserve after a valid injury at work. Only 3% of attorneys in Florida are board certified. Unlike other law firms, I enjoy communicating directly with my clients and never employ paralegals to maintain contact. My firm specializes in the litigation of workers' compensation claims, including complex medical issues, and will go to court to obtain the benefits that you're entitled to, as opposed to some firms which only are interested in obtaining a quick, cheap settlement. Many times injured employees are afraid to speak to a lawyer because they are undocumented, paid in cash or working off of the books. They may feel that they will be threatened with termination if they file for Workers’ Compensation benefits. I use my 31 years of expert experience to push through obstacles and obtain the evidence needed to pursue your valid claim.

Stated how everything would play out.
From the moment I met Jane I could see that she was a NO Nonsense person. Whatever I needed Jane took care of. When therapy for my injury was being delayed Jane contacted the Insurance Company and got everything back on track. Jane was professional yet personable and told me how my case would pro...
"I have known Jane-Robin since I started practicing over 20 years ago. I used to oppose her in many cases when I represented strictly insurance companies and industry. Back then I knew I would have to be on my "A" game, at all times. She is bright, knowledgeable, and an excellent litigator. That said, she knew when to settle a file and a fair number. I am sure that she served her clients well over all of these year. Now, we stand side by side to help the injured and the wronged. I happily endorse this lawyer, as she has all that you would expect from a great advocate. Knowledge, skill, ethics and expertise."
"I have known Jane-Robin for many years and have worked on cases both with and against her. She is a knowledgeable and insightful attorney, and she has a genuine commitment to her clients."
