Melbourne Personal Injury Lawyer

Hello, Blog-o-sphere! Judging from my page so far, you can probably tell two things:
1) this is my first post; and
2) I'm a personal injury lawyer from Melbourne, FL.

Now that we've stated the obvious, I'd like to help you get to know me a little better. First off, I've been a Melbourne personal injury lawyer for about 7 years now. I lived in Melbourne since my family moved to Indialantic when I was about 9 years old. Through my childhood, there was only one thing that I wanted to be when I grew up (other than a NFL quarterback): a personal injury lawyer -- and obviously, that's what I've become.

After graduating from the University of Florida College of Law in 2003, I left Gainesville for good and returned home to Melbourne. While studying for the Bar Exam, I networked with several local personal injury attorneys and found a great practice to learn the ropes as an intern. Upon passing the bar, I became a full-time associate at said law firm, and over a period of a few years, I learned to love being a personal injury attorney. However, I felt like something was missing. I wanted more, but I wasn't sure of what. Then it dawned on me -- I wanted to start my own personal injury law firm right here in my hometown of Melbourne, FL.

In my dream scenario, I imagined my office overlooking the beach near Fifth Avenue, but in reality, I had to make do with a small office in downtown Melbourne. I opened my practice in 2010, and since then, things have been good, but could be better. As a solo practitioner, it's hard to compete for clients with the personal injury juggernauts out there, but I know it can be done -- and that's exactly why I'm here right now: to increase exposure to my law firm on the web.

My law firm is located at:
Melbourne Injury Advocates
730 E Strawbridge Ave #206
Melbourne, FL 32901

This is just the beginning, but I will be writing weekly about my experiences as a personal injury lawyer, changes in Florida injury law, and pending injury legislation. Please come back and visit soon!
