Todd Long, Esq., a board certified civil trial lawyer with 15 years of trial experience, and his experienced staff and partners are prepared to fight for you. We focus our practice exclusively on all types of serious personal injury cases and have represented thousands of injured victims. Long & Mott realize that nothing is more important to your case than having the insurance company respect and even fear your attorney's trial skills. Most personal injury attorneys call themselves trial lawyers, but few try cases and become board certified. As a board certified civil trial lawyer, a distinction that less than 2% of the attorneys in Florida can claim, Mr. Long knows what it takes to win cases and serve as an effective negotiator.
For example, Long & Mott recently tried a case in March in Volusia County involving a client that was paralyzed from the waist down as a result of an auto accident. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury awarded the client $13,750,000.00 in damages including $7,500,000.00 for pain and suffering.
What Board Certification Means to Our Clients
In 1975, the Florida Supreme Court began certifying attorneys as being board certified. They did so to educate the public better as to the qualifications of attorneys. It also was done to encourage attorneys to develop their trial skills. You become board certified by taking cases to trial. There's nothing more valuable to our clients than the assurance that a board certified trial lawyer is working on your case. Every time we walk into the courtroom, our future clients receive the benefit of that experience.
Understanding the Opposition
Prior to becoming a personal injury attorney, Mr. Long spent six years as an insurance defense lawyer and had the opportunity to watch the insurance companies handle their personal injury claims first hand. It's been a great advantage as a personal injury attorney now to have that experience. We know the way the insurance companies think. We know what kinds of cases make them nervous and know how they are going to try their cases. That's an invaluable benefit for all of our clients.
