I am a Florida lawyer since 2001. My office has filed hundreds and hundreds of claims in pursuit of employment law/wrongful termination matters, personal injury and consumer cases involving harassment from debt collectors, including cases in Key West, Miami-Dade, Clearwater and Pinellas Counties. Located just off of I-275. Same office building location for approximately 12 years.
Local Attorney for local people, but actively accepting Personal Injury, Consumer, Credit Repair and Longshore cases as well as Defense Base Act Cases.
Results and personal attention matter. You don’t have to be just another number and be relegated to ”case managers“ or receptionist. Lawyering is a service based business and “face to face“ consults are always preferred.

As a Mother, I had contacted this law office to discuss the termination of our adult special needs son, 42 years old, from WalMart. Mr. Gadd was very helpful in listening patiently to concerns, evaluating a written summary based on interaction with our son, and helped me to reasonably consider o...

I felt soooo comfortable speaking with Mr Gadd; like I’ve known him for years. His ability to mediate was astounding. He solved multiple issues for me. As far as the bottom line where settlement is concerned; he negotiated more than I thought was possible. I’m thankful, grateful and on a scale from 1...

I had a tricky and complicated case to share. John was honest, straightforward, and friendly. He also took time to share resources to make sure I had the information about whether or not to pursue the case. He also passed along a colleague's name to get a second opinion. I heard an ad for his service...

John was very helpful and full of information and steps I should take to hopefully resolve my situation!
"The answers of Mr. Gadd are consistently accurate, full of analysis, and customized to the needs of the Avvo askers. Those are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer for any accident cases in Florida. He is an astute and knowledgeable personal injury attorney."
"I found Mr. Gadd to be professional and knowledgeable about the facts and issues of the case. He is a strong advocate for his clients."
"Mr. Gadd is a top-notch attorney. He is well-versed in his field and is client-centered. I highly recommend Mr. Gadd."
"I endorse this lawyer. John and I have litigated a difficult case against each other in federal court and I found John to be a zealous and knowledgeable advocate for his client. Although I represent employers, I would happily refer any inquiring employee to John."
"Mr. Gadd is extremely hard working and diligent, he is an excellent attorney that can be trusted if you want the best results possible. I would refer any client with an employment/labor law question to him and know their in good hands. Truly an outstanding attorney that cares about results."
"I endorse this lawyer. Over the course of the last 13 years I have seen Mr. Gadd in action in several cases. I first met him as opposing counsel and have since worked with him as co-counsel on several matters."
"W John Gadd has been an advocate of the workingman for two decades. He provides poignant advice to clients and potential clients; often providing an insight that most lawyers are unable or unwilling to do so. Gadd provides answers and a plan of action rather than excuses for not acting. I highly recommend Gadd; I have consulted with Gadd and worked with Gadd on legal issues for two decades. Before giving up on a claim it would be wise to seek Gadd's advice as he may enlighten you on a possible course to seek redress that others overlooked or failed to appreciate."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is one of the best in his field. Many other lawyers refer him cases for this reason."
"I have known John Gadd professionally and personally for over twenty years. John is one the most intelligent and hardworking attorneys I have ever met. He dedicates his professional life to being the most knowledgeable attorney in his field. And, his dedication and responsiveness to his clients' needs is second to none. I highly recommend John Gadd to anyone in need of legal representation."
"I have known John for many years and can recommend him without reservation. John is an aggressive, relentless, detail-oriented attorney who does a great job for his clients. I learned a great deal of my personal litigation skills through working with John as a younger attorney and have seen him consistently achieve outstanding results. I will always happily refer clients to John when given the opportunity."
"I had the pleasure and good fortune of meeting Mr. Gadd through my current employer. After our initial meeting, Mr. Gadd has taken me under his wing, so to speak. As a new attorney, I have little in the way of experience, though I am overflowing with questions, thoughts, and inquiries. Mr. Gadd has entertained hours of this, both on his work phone line and personal line, during business hours and after, and he has guided me through many ethical, procedural, and substantive issues over my first several cases. He has proffered advice, reference material, and work products, and is every bit the mentor every new attorney hopes they have the good fortune to encounter. I am never more excited about Consumer Protection, then when Mr. Gadd and I have a thought provoking discussion, debating new case law, or reviewing old. He keeps me informed, excited, and I believe his influence has shaped the focus of my career."
"John Gadd is a lawyer dedicated to fighting for the rights of his clients. John Gadd works hard to ensure that consumers are protected from harassing calls from debt collectors and telemarketers. He is not afraid to challenge unfair and illegal debt collection practices with zeal unlike most others. I would highly recommend him for your legal needs."
"John is an incredible lawyer and tops in his field in the Tampa/Clearwater area. His dedication to his clients and expertise in his practice areas make him my go to lawyer for referrals. I highly recommend John and his firm if you are having legal issues and need someone to fight for your rights."
