Changing With The Seasons

Much like the seasons, the law is a dynamic and changing process. Change is inevitable in our lives. What worked with a prior attorney at a prior time may no longer work today. We must stay on pace with the ever-changing nature of the law in order to ensure you, as a client, will get the most recovery possible for your injuries. Our legislature often votes change into laws that used to be favorable and now are not. Understanding these changes is important. Being involved early on to help effect change that will protect consumer rights is even more important.

Johnny Pineyro of the Pineyro law firm understands how critical it is to help our legislature make the right choices. Every year, Mr. Pineyro travels to Tallahassee and volunteers locally to lobby for your rights. In addition, his position as an Eagle Member of the Florida Justice Association, allows him access to key figures that will help protect you. His financial contributions to the organization ensure your consumer rights will be protected year after year.

Please call us if you suffered injuries that have changed your life. When a new season of your life begins the Pineyro Law Firm will be there with you every step of the way.

Do I have to get a personal injury attorney to get a settlement from my injury?

By on June 11, 2010 in Article, Education

It is not always necessary to hire a personal injury attorney in order to file a claim or even receive a settlement. On very common cases with clearly defined negligence or wrongdoing, it is entirely possible that someone without specialized knowledge of the legal process can successfully negotiate a settlement. Simple auto accidents, bicycle accidents, or home product accidents that involve defective products are examples of cases where it is possible to reach a settlement without an attorney. For small judgments this can sometimes save you money and time.
