I could not be happier with the result Mr. Palso brought to my case. I had to fire one of the big law firms and Dennis took over and guided me every step of the way. Don't buy into the marketing hype. Mr. Palso and his paralegal team will fight for your interests and will fiercely negotiate your case...

I will never be able to express the gratitude that I have for Dennis Palso, and his right hand, MIchelle, for the care they took in taking the lead and guiding me through my workers compensation claims/settlement process. I was beyond worried and anxious about choosing an attorney because I’d never h...
"Mr. Palso has represented injured workers with pride for over 3 decades and is well-known to be an expert in the very challenging and nuanced realm of Workers' Compensation in Florida. I highly recommend Mr. Palso."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dennis is a true advocate for his clients. His knowledge of the law is not only current but always on point. He is actively involved in organizations representing the interests of the injured worker, serving on their leadership team (Board) for many, many years. Those who retain his services to seek assistance in a very harsh workers compensation system (for injured workers)are truly well served; are in good hands; and will certainly be informed so that they can make sound decisions in their case."
"I have had many cases against Dennis over the past 16 years (and ongoing). Dennis is one of the smartest and most capable workers compensation attorneys in the state. He fights for his clients while maintaining the highest levels of professionalism."
"Dennis is an outstanding attorney. Brilliant, resourceful, and a tireless advocate for his clients. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone injured in an on the job accident."

"I have known Mr. Palso since he attended Stetson College of Law. I have known him to be one of the more intelligent, motivated, and competent practitioners in his chosen fields of Social Security Disability and Worker' Compensation. He and his staff are dedicated to actually helping his clients, as opposed to merely viewing the client as a means for profit. As a result, he is honest, hard working and straight forward with all those he deals with. I highly recommend his services."
"I endorse Attorney Palso. From his answers and time on Avvo, it is clear he is dedicated to serving those in need and his clients. It's rare that lawyers spend so much valuable time helping the community, for free, and I applaud him for doing it to such a great level. Kudos."
