Our Firm is proud of the international clients and lawyers who engage our firm from around the world. The continued upswing of new matters in Canada, Western Europe and all of South America on matters to be litigated in the United States has been built on years of client relationships, as well as legal writing and speaking engagements throughout the United States and abroad. We want to thank our longtime and new Florida resources of business who place their confidence in our firm daily. Many of our continued co-counsel have been sending matters to the Firm for over 40 years. Fortunately, newer and more recent lawyers have heard of our Firm (sometimes from their family and senior partners from another generation.)

They work with other law firms in coordinating insurance benefits, medical payments and other important logistical assistance to clients as they return from Florida to their home base.
