Best car accident attorney in Lakeland and tampa

Yo! He got me paid in 70 days. highly recommend Attorney Martin Hernandez if you’ve been involved in an auto accident. I was involved in an accident in Brandon, FL, and having Martin and his team represent me made a stressful situation a lot easier to deal with. From the beginning, they were profe...ssional, responsive, and kept me informed throughout the process. I never felt like I was just another case number. Martin took the time to explain things to me, answer my questions, and make sure my concerns were addressed. If you’re looking for an attorney in the Tampa/Brandon area who will take your case seriously and treat you with respect, I definitely recommend Martin Hernandez. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best car accident attorney in Tampa Bay!

so happy! very aggressive

10/10, I definitely recommend Martin! He represented me and my partner after our accident on July 16th, and from the beginning he was super easy to work with. He was honest, straightforward, and kept us updated without us having to constantly chase him down for answers. The best part is I was paid... within 60 days of my accident!! And I ended up getting more money than I was expecting, which made the experience even better. He didn’t make a bunch of crazy promises or tell me what I wanted to hear. He kept it real with me from the beginning and got the job done! I’m big on communication and honesty, especially when it comes to something as important as this, and Martin definitely delivered. If you need an attorney who is going to actually work for you and make the process easy, I highly recommend him. Thank you again, Martin! hire him!! best car accident lawyer!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
