Excellent Attorney

Mr. Fitzgerald compiled very detailed information about our accident and all parties involved. He was very considerate and compassionate about every aspect of the case. He came to our home to get a feel of how our family lived our lives and to meet our friends and complete interviews with them in ...a home town setting. This made everyone feel more at home and they respected his demeanor towards them. We met with him outside his office on two other occasions, for him to complete interviews with me and my family for him to get a feel of our past and present lives. He got a feel for the time my husband and I met throughout every aspect of our 46 years together, including grade school, high school, college, 2 children, 1 grandchild and our work history, He was very diligent in finding all the information he could about the other parties involved in our law suit. He was very thorough and knew the law and what he needed to make a very compelling court case. Mr. Fitzgerald knew exactly the other professionals that he needed to call on to help him prepare our case. Personally, I was very impressed with Mr. Fitzgerald and all of his associates. They were very helpful any time my family or I had any questions and kept in touch when they had more information for us or were just checking to see how we were doing. I sent all of my medical bills to his office and he was very helpful in contacting and negotiating with each and every one of them. I appreciate all the hard work he put in for me and my family and the kindness shown at all times. I would highly recommend Mr. Fitzgerald to anyone.

Stress-free quality legal representation

Mr Fitzgerald and his staff are amazing. My mother was involved in a fatal accident 2,000 miles away from home. I was fortunate to be referred to him by another atty in FL. The entire process took a little over a year. During that time, I was kept up to date with everything going on and he acted ...as a true advocate on my family's behalf with the insurance companies involved, both vehicle & health. Considering this was the most traumatic experience of my life, it gave me a relief to know Mr Fitzgerald was taking care of the legal side so I could focus on myself and my family.

Jim did a great job for me.

I am a lawyer myself and have had the occasion to retain several lawyers for different matters over my lifetime. When my son was killed I went to Jim because I knew he was well regarded in wrongful death cases. He was sensitive, thorough, dedicated and compassionate. I could not have had a more de...cent and effective lawyer. I appreciate him very much.

would recommend to anyone, to hire Firtgerald Law

Jim Fitzgerald worked about 1 1/2 years on my personal injury case, he kept me informed the entire way as to progress and any thing that came up. He first met with me after my daughter found his firm online while I was in recovery,he did not push me towards his firm, just listened to my case and des...cribed what he thought he could do for me. I am extremely pleased with the work that his firm did for me. Jim and his staff were always ready to answer any questions, or to explain in detail what he was doing and what to expect at any time. Jim left the settlement of my case to me describing the pros and cons of the settlement and even help set up a finnacial consultant to help when the case was done.
