Fran

What Our Clients Are Saying

“Highly Talented, Honest, Compassionate Lawyer”

My wife suffered a serious injury when we were visiting Miami. We hired an injury lawyer who failed to get us a satisfactory settlement after many months. We transferred our case to Tom and his team. Tom, Renaud and the rest of the team care deeply about their clients and go far beyond the client/attorney relationship. Our experience with Tom and Renaud was very satisfactory from the first moment we consulted with Tom. Tom and Renaud always responded quickly and effectively to all our questions. They did a brilliant work investigating and researching evidence, interviewing witnesses, and preparing for mediation. Tom hired a professional photographer to produce a short documentary video to highlight the amount of pain and suffering which my wife and every member of our family have suffered due to the injury. This video in addition to the many talents of Tom have ensured the satisfactory settlement which we got. Tom helped us to achieve a very satisfactory settlement, which was more than double what our first attorney managed to negotiate. The amount of investigation and research which Tom and Renaud put in our case was unbelievable. The way and strategy that Tom used to negotiated with the insurance company was amazing. Tom is an honest, compassionate, and extremely talented attorney, and above all he is a great negotiator. I would highly recommend him, and his amazing team, to anyone who needs a personal injury lawyer.

Tom and his whole team were great. My suit took a long time, and they explained and guided me through every step. They were patient and kind, and made sure it was as easy for me as they possibly could. They didn’t just care about how much of a settlement they could get; they cared about the bottom dollar for Me. They didn’t just work the case; they understood it. Their knowledge of the legal system, what works and what doesn’t, is hard to find. I would highly recommend Scolaro Law to anyone that needs someone on their side.

Frequently Asked Question

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case can vary significantly. It depends on factors such as the case’s complexity, the severity of your injuries, and whether the case can be settled before filing suit or proceeding to trial. While many cases resolve in a few months, others may take a year or longer. At Scolaro Law, we work diligently to expedite the process. Our guiding principle is simple: we are committed to ensuring you receive the maximum compensation possible, no matter how long it takes. Unlike other firms, we do not take a shortsighted approach. We never pressure our clients into settling early for a quick fee. We fight relentlessly for the best possible recovery for our clients—always, without exception.

At Scolaro Law, we work exclusively on a contingency fee basis. This means you owe us nothing unless we win your case, and our compensation is not tied to the hours we spend representing and advocating for you. Our contingency fees follow Florida Bar Rules. Attorneys’ costs refer to case-related expenses such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and charges for obtaining records or documents. We know that every dollar spent on your case reduces your ultimate recovery. For this reason, we approach litigation strategically and are conservative in managing costs. Our primary goal is to maximize your recovery while maintaining complete transparency every step of the way.

The value of a personal injury case depends on many known factors, such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, and the impact on your daily life now and in the future. It also depends on less predictable elements, such as the defendant’s actions and your actions, and how these align with the law to strengthen or weaken your case. We cannot predict or promise a specific amount upfront. However, what we can promise is this: if we take your case, it is because we believe in the strength of your claim, and with our experience fighting for clients, we are confident that the outcome will be favorable and will make a meaningful difference in your life.

Yes, Scolaro Law exclusively focuses on personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, cruise ship injuries, negligent security, sexual assault, medical malpractice, defective products, and more. With over 25 years of experience and a track record of securing substantial recoveries, Tom Scolaro has handled a wide range of complex personal injury claims in which other Florida firms refused to get involved.

This is one of the most common questions our clients ask because it is one of the most important. Your medical bills may be paid through various sources, such as your health insurance, automobile insurance (if you were involved in a motor vehicle accident), or at the end of your case from your settlement. In other words, as our client, you do not have to pay for any of your medical bills before your case is over. Our clients can often worry about large pending medical bills. Still, our team has extensive knowledge of resolving your balances to further maximize your recovery at the end of your case.

We evaluate potential cases by considering all the facts, evidence, liability issues and weaknesses, and the extent of your injuries. Our primary focus is whether we can make a meaningful difference in your recovery by holding at-fault parties responsible for causing your injuries. At Scolaro Law, we are committed to openly discussing potential issues with your case, providing our honest evaluation, and only taking your case if we believe we can achieve a favorable outcome for you. 

Yes, we represent clients nationwide and beyond who were injured in Florida. Whether you are a resident or visiting from another state or another country, we will handle your personal injury case with the same dedication. We will ensure seamless communication throughout the life of your case and keep you as informed as if you were in Miami, Florida. Many of Tom Scolaro’s most significant results have been with out-of-state and international clients.

No, and for two reasons. We believe in maintaining open communication and keeping you involved in key decisions, and none is more prominent than resolving your case. We will never resolve your case or accept a settlement without discussing it and ensuring you understand all the terms. Second, as a client of Scolaro Law, you make the final decision regarding the settlement of your case – not us – and we will notify you of all settlement offers before and after the trial.

A statute of limitations is the legal deadline for filing a lawsuit. Most personal injury cases in Florida must be filed within two years of the incident, but exceptions may apply. In cases against cruise lines, the statute of limitations is even shorter (one year). Missing this deadline is a total bar and could prevent you from recovering compensation. This is why, if a person is injured due to someone else’s negligence, it is paramount to consult with one of our attorneys before it is too late.

Once you have signed the contract, our team will gather evidence in your case, contact insurance companies, and obtain your medical records. We will continually update you on the best legal strategy we wish to adopt while guiding you through each phase of your case. You will have a dedicated text number with our firm, allowing us to communicate quickly and efficiently. If you have questions that require a deeper conversation, we are just a phone call away and always here to help. Most importantly, we want you to let go of any anxiety or fear of the unknown. Focus on healing, getting better, and following your medical treatment and doctor(s)’ advice. Trust that we will handle the heavy lifting and take on the pressure so you can concentrate solely on your recovery.
