About Chadwick
Biography
Our practice is devoted to helping those that are injured or too sick to work as a result of an accident or condition. For example, if you are seriously injured while on the job, and those injuries prevent you from working more than one year, we might also pursue a claim for Social Security disability benefits on your behalf. Many law firms do not recognize other areas that allow for recoveries of money for their clients that include personal injury settlements, workers compensation settlements and social security disability. We are always looking to maximize the recovery of money for our clients. That is what sets us apart from our competition.
In addition, I am AV rated, which places me in the top 5% of all attorney's in Florida and was inducted into the National Trial Lawyers top 100 Trial Lawyers.
