Excellent attorney with Excellent Results

I was involved in an unfortunate auto accident that wasn't my fault. During treatments, I realized I was probably going to have to seek counsel and started reaching out to attorney's. Phyllis was above and beyond the most personable, caring and accomplished attorney I chatted with. She was responsive... and authentic. I never got ill feelings with her like I did some of the other attorney's. I am incredibly happy with the result of our case and feel like she always had my best interest's at heart. I would highly recommend Phyllis.

Client

Phyllis Norman and her staff are the absolute best. This was my first experience in needing legal representation but, not the first attorney I selected. I was involved in a serious auto accident in 2015 in Kansas City and I live in Orlando. So not only did I not know of an attorney in Orlando, I cert...ainly did not know of one in Kansas City. I did not realize that since the accident took place in Kansas that I would have to retain an attorney from Kansas either. My first selection was a terrible experience so I reached out to family in Kansas and asked if they could recommend someone. Thank God I did because that is how I found Phyllis. Phyllis walked be through the entire mess and what a mess it was! Both Florida and Kansas are “No Fault” states and that was the easy part. As Phyllis and her staff walked me though the legal process they also assisted me with understanding of medical treatments that were being suggested by doctors (not all good recommendations). Phyllis was also EXTREMELY helpful with the surgeons that were not willing to see me without a LOP. I had no idea what a LOP was or why they were not willing to accept my health insurance. So she walked me through each and every step and never grew weary of my questions and confusion. Phyllis is very professional, but she is equally as personable at what she does for her clients. Due to Phyllis and her outstanding help I had a successful surgery in January. I honestly can say that without Phyllis and her staff I do not think that my outcome would be what it is or that I would have the quality of life I do each and everyday. THANK YOU Phyllis Norman, on a scale of 1 to 10, she gets a 15!

Professional & competent

I was seriously injured volunteering for a large corporation with an unyielding insurance agent & company that initially refused to cover my medical expenses and lost wages. After my initial surgery and prolonged recovery, Phyllis was hired as an additional attorney to help with my case. Phyllis is a... persistent, strong, fireball of energy. I relied on her expertise, experience, and professionalism to work through the litigation process. Phyllis was quick at responding to phone calls or e-mail questions, was reassuring through depositions and as we negotiated with the insurance company’s attorneys. I’m confident that after a second surgery, had we not settled with the insurance company, she would have been a great asset and lawyer in the courtroom. I greatly recommend! Thank you, Phyllis!
