At the Law Offices of Sebastian J. Balliro, P.A. we believe we stand out because we go to trial. Many law firms in Florida will automatically start negotiations for a settlement or plea bargain, just because they're easier than a full trial. Not us. All of our partners are experienced trial attorneys who have tried hundreds of cases in Florida courts to verdict. We have substantial experience with the careful preparation, witness interviews and tough decisions that going to court provides. We are not afraid to take our cases to court, if necessary. If we recommend a settlement or a plea agreement, it's because we truly believe that's the best course of action for that particular client.
We also believe our law firm stands out because we are truly committed to developing a partnership with our clients. We want our clients to understand their cases and the possible outcomes from the beginning. As new developments in a case arise, we strive to keep clients informed quickly and without "legalese." And of course, when it's time to make an important decision, we try to provide the fullest information possible while acknowledging that the final decision always belongs to the client. We believe clear communication is not just good customer service -- it's also key to building the best possible case. Once you become a client, we will stand by your side in every interaction with the other side, explaining and protecting your rights whenever necessary.
That commitment to clients leads naturally into another major advantage offered by the Law Offices of Sebastian J. Balliro, P.A.: We are available at literally all times. Like most attorneys, most of our work takes place during business hours. Unlike most attorneys, we acknowledge that legal trouble isn't restricted to the hours between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. from Mondays to Fridays. That's why clients and potential clients can reach us 24 hours a day and seven days a week at a number that's toll-free anywhere in Florida.
If you are considering the Law Offices of Sebastian J. Balliro, P.A, we would like to hear from you. You are welcome to browse our personal injury, criminal defense and commercial litigation pages, but we believe an in-person meeting is the best way for clients to evaluate whether we're the right fit. And we offer free, confidential consultations for all potential clients, so there's no risk in speaking to our attorneys about your rights and your legal options. To set up a meeting, you can reach us toll-free from anywhere within Florida at 1-866-INJURED or 1-866-ARRESTED, or click here to contact us through the Internet today.
