Hired Attorney

I hired Travis for a Small Claims Suit, he stayed on the case to the end, it took time to collect, he made it happen. I am retired and was very nerves bc I have never been to a court hearing. Travis stayed in close contact with me through it all. Travis is very professional and a people person also, ...he made me very comfortable through it all.

A Goliath of a Lawyer. Simply outstanding

Travis McConnell is "Simply the best " and that is an understatement. After a very serious workplace injury caused from employer's negligence in maintaining a safe work environment, the organization schemed and connived their way through my initial days of recovery by influencing doctors, limiting wo...rkers comp services and inventing ways to terminate me. I did not lawyer up in my initial days as there was a level of trust that in my naivety assumed existed at least between the senior most management which I was a part of. However their intent became apparent as they rushed to get me back to work, broken bones et al, barely able to stand without aids and as soon as I joined back they demoted me and had a visit from the company lawyer who told me that my medical expenses till date were maxing out at the workers comp limit and I had costed them $400K thus far. I knew this was false and it was time to seek legal representation. After evaluating the big name Florida giants I was not impressed with what they had to say and then I chanced upon Travis McConnell on Avvo. After speaking to him I knew he was the one. He was friendly personable and straight forward, absolutely no BS. I signed him on and things changed for me from that point on, My employer still tried to scheme me out of a job with petty accusations after I confronted them with the actual expenses (which Travis obtained for me) of my care thus far which were a fraction of the claim the employer was making (and circulating secret emails to my peers around the organization on inflated expenses on my healthcare with statement like 'oops' when the cause of this injury was the employers own negligence and unsafe hazardous workplace). Eventually they terminated the entire department! Travis fought for me each step of the way through the settlement phase when the organization I worked for tried to botch with threats. He got me the settlement that I needed to proceed unhindered by Workers comp that was limiting me to doctors on their payroll that had already messed up my initial surgery requiring me to go through serious correctional surgery and the rehab associated with it. A total nightmare, I am glad its over and I thank Travis McConnell and his staff for helping me through the hard times on this complex case.

Client

Travis provided pro bono advise for a friend that was involved in an accident which gave the friend injuries and deprived him of his scooter. The insurance company for the party at fault is low balling the friend so I went to Travis for advice. Travis was knowledgeable, passionate and forthright wi...th me and provided excellent counsel and offered to take matters into his own hands, at no cost, if the insurance company was not receptive to our concerns. Anyone who hires Travis to represent her/him will have someone on their side that will represent them passionately and in a very professional manner.

Extraordinary Lawyer

My name is Marjory. I was introduced to Travis by my brother, which they were good friends. Further, I accepted him as my lawyer. I was amazed that he stopped by to visit and gave us personal attention for our situation. Travis worked closely with us throughout the whole process of the whole case to ...make sure we were okay. To my surprise, he visited me after my surgery to make sure I was okay and that all the doctors were taking care of me. Travis is a wonderful lawyer. He cares about his clients on a personal as well as professional level. He was very specific and explained all details concerning the case. Furthermore, he became a friend that we appreciate very well. We appreciate the kindness he showed us as a couple that was concerned about their case and future. We wish the best to him and his family, especially considering the day we met was the day of his daughter's birth. He called me while I was at the hospital for another matter and he was actually at the hospital, too, after she was born. He met me and showed me pictures of his newborn daughter and she is precious!

Highly Recommend! The People's Lawyer!! The Best!!!

Absolutely the best legal representation I have ever acquired. Very quick to contact me, worked diligently on my case, listened intently and was very personable. I was not just another case or person. Worked very quickly and really pushed the Courts to handle my situation as fast as possible. Mr. Mc...Connell was very polite, humble, down to Earth, caring and willing to do his best to help me. He is not one of those "big shot" lawyers who do it for the money, Mr. McConnell is the "People's Lawyer." He was always very direct with me and always informed me completely on all my issues. It also must not go unnoticed that the secretary and all the help in the office was phenomenal. They all work well as a team and are very professional. My case was resolved quickly and the end result was better then I could have hoped for. The office of Travis McConnell has my full support and highest recommendation. If you need legal representation or advice, DO NOT HESITATE to contact Travis McConnell.

"Travis and I have known one another for over a decade-first in a mentorship capacity, when he was employed at my office prior to attending law school, and now as a colleague and friend. My own practice benefitted from his presence and I believe that the legal profession as a whole is better for having Travis among the ranks. Travis is a creative thinker and advocate. He is quick on his feet and is bold in his approach to seeking creative solutions on behalf of clients. The fact that Travis is bilingual enables him to build more authentic partnerships and better serve his Spanish-speaking clients. I have no hesitation in my wholehearted recommendation."
