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.

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!

Fighting the school board

My daughter was expelled from school for taking selfies in a place at school she shouldn't have on her phone. She was accused to have taken pictures that were inappropriate. She did not take the any inappropriate pictures and they had no proof. Mr. McConnell went above and beyond to help my daughter... get back into school. He did the research that needed to be done to know what he needed done. When we went in front of the expulsion board he knew what he had to do, he told them what we wanted. If phone calls needed to be made he would call them for me so I did not have to. And we got what we wanted my daughter is going back to school. So she can further her education. I would recommend Mr. McConnell to anyone that wants to get the job done. I know if I ever need another lawyer I will calling him. Thank you so much for all your help and support through all of this.

Laura, I just thought about you two this Wednesday, wondering how things were going and hoping everything was in the past and over. We wish the best for your family. May the rest of high school be eventful in more positive ways and if S***** ends up going to law school, maybe she can come help around here on her summers off! Take care! Mary

Accident claim

I was involved in an accident that was not my fault and the other driver's insurance company was not being cooperative in paying my medical bills. I hired Travis to handle them for me. He and Mary were very prompt in taking care of this for me. I would recommend Travis to anyone who needs a good ...attorney who will take of things in a timely manner!

Stephanie, thank you so much for the kind words. And I think I expressed it to you, but I would recommend you to any attorney (although we really want you all to ourselves)! You are the ideal client, a great advocate for yourself and really made our job easier. Call on us anytime! m

Very easy going,prompt communication,treated like family!

Travis did an excellent job for me. He was very prompt on getting back to me. I was injured at work and my medical bills were never taken care of by my previous employer . So I found Travis and within a months time the case was settled and taken care of. I recommend Travis on the highest level,don't ...go to the "big time" attorneys if you've been injured. Tried them none of which even returned my calls. Travis will treat you like family. Thanks again Travis you're the best!

"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."
