About Angela
Biography
Attorney Angela Zervos is the President of Zervos & Calta, PLLC. She is a personal injury trial lawyer, having tried both criminal and civil cases before a jury, since 1997. During her career, she has personally obtained settlements and trial verdicts exceeding $80 million.
Ms. Zervos, originally a native of Brooklyn, NY, has been in the Tampa Bay Area since 1985. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management in 1992 from USF in Tampa. She graduated from Stetson University College of Law in December, 1996 and was licensed to practice law in 1997.
Ms. Zervos jumped right into the courtroom, beginning her legal career as a Public Defender with the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Clearwater, FL. While there, she tried over 30 criminal jury trials. Since August of 1998, her focus has been solely on representing victims of personal injury.
Since then, she has taken many cases to trial and has had over 90% success in the courtroom, with many jury verdicts exceeding the insurance company's policy limits. She has tried cases and won against Allstate, State Farm, Mercury, Nationwide, GEICO, Farmers Insurance, USAA, Liberty Mutual, and Auto Owners.
She handles cases such as automobile & motorcycle accidents, wrongful death actions, trucking accident, bicycle accident, brain injury cases, slip and falls and medical malpractice. She has handled thousands of cases and has prided herself on maintaining strong communication levels with each and every client, making herself available to them for whatever issues/concerns arise. Ms. Zervos truly believes that any lawyer can label themselves a "personal injury lawyer", but very few can call themselves a "trial lawyer". Before you choose a lawyer, ask that lawyer about their trial experience and outcomes.
Impressively, Ms. Zervos, before opening her own offices of Zervos & Calta, PLLC, settled and obtained jury verdicts IN EXCESS OF $80 million.
Ms. Zervos is "AV Preeminent" rated by Martindale-Hubbell - the highest rating that an attorney can achieve. She is also a member of the Multi Million Dollar and Million Dollar Advocates Forum. She is licensed to practice in Federal Court for the Middle District of Florida. She is the President of Zervos & Calta, PLLC, with offices conveniently located in Tarpon Springs, Spring Hill, Clearwater and St. Petersburg, Florida. She handles cases in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Hillsborough, Sarasota and Manatee counties, and throughout most of the state of Florida.
