Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

Real words from real clients across Central Florida.

★★★★★

"After my accident on I-4, I called three firms before Hartfield. The difference was immediate — they actually listened, explained everything in plain language, and fought for two years until we got a result I never expected. William personally called me after every court date."

Marcus T.
Auto Accident Client — Orlando, FL
★★★★★

"My mother passed away from what we later learned was a preventable surgical error. I didn't know where to turn. Sophia Crane took our case, held the hospital accountable, and never once made us feel like just a file number. I will be forever grateful."

Diane R.
Medical Malpractice Client — Winter Park, FL
★★★★★

"I was injured on a construction site and didn't speak much English at the time. Robert Diaz handled my case entirely in Spanish and made sure I understood every step. The settlement changed my family's life. I can't recommend this firm enough."

Workplace Injury Client — Kissimmee, FL

Common Questions

Florida Injury Law — What You Need to Know

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Florida's statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. Missing this deadline means losing your right to compensation permanently. Contact us immediately to protect your claim — even if you're unsure whether you have a case.
What does "no win, no fee" actually mean?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing out of pocket to hire us. Our fee comes as a percentage of the settlement or verdict we recover for you. If we don't win, you owe us nothing. Period. This ensures that justice is accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford hourly rates.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages — reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovery. This is exactly why having an experienced attorney is critical: fault is negotiated, not just determined.
How long will my case take to resolve?
It depends on the complexity of the case and how aggressively the opposing party contests your claim. Simple cases may settle within a few months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injuries or disputed liability can take one to three years. We will always tell you the realistic timeline for your specific situation, not what you want to hear.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Almost never. Insurance companies make early offers to close cases quickly and cheaply, before you understand the full extent of your injuries and losses. These initial offers typically do not account for future medical costs, lost earning capacity, or long-term pain and suffering. Consult with us before you sign anything.
