This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I recommend Don Anderson

Don helped me with a disability claim that allows me to improve the quality of my medical treatment and keep a roof over my head. He explained everything to me and sent me copies of all of the letters he sent out and the lawsuit. I always felt informed and had a good result

Don Gets Things Done

Don Anderson is a respected and very experienced attorney. His experiece is unequaled by any other disability attorney in the Tampa Bay area. While he may not be as communicative as some other attorneys, he always gets the job done and he does it correctly and thoroughly. Mr. Anderson has ha...ndled my disability case with expertise which was not available anywhere else in the area. He does not take referral fees from other lawyers, because he does not have to. He is a good man with a good heart, and I recommend him without reservation. If it wasn't for Mr. Anderson, I would still be fighting an insurance company for benefits...but I am receiving benefits rather than being "out on the street", all because of Don's tenacity and depth of knowledge.

"I had the honor of practicing law with Don Anderson for 14 years, first as an associate and later as business partners. I learned more from him than any lawyer I have ever known. He is honest to a fault, and he is incredibly smart. His approach to practicing law and helping his clients is superb. He spins insurance defense attorneys on their heels. If you want a lawyer that will fight to get you what you deserve, Don Anderson is an excellent choice."

General practice lawyer | Oct 11

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I give Don Anderson my highest endorsement. He's a pillar of the St. Petersburg legal community and is one of the most compassionate men I've ever known. Don always has time to listen to his client's concerns and he takes the time to explain very complex legal concepts to his clients in a ways that demystify the law. He's extremely thorough in his communications with clients and always makes sure that they are kept well informed of every step that he and his staff are taking on the client's behalf. I have the highest regard for Don Anderson and I never hesitate to refer clients to him."
