The truth is... most cases are settled outside the courtroom. ⚖️

At Avera & Smith, we always prepare a case as if it’s going to trial.

However, that doesn’t mean it will go that far. Our preparation lets the insurance company know we’re serious about your case.

They know we’ll take a case to court, and they want to avoid it. This oftentimes leads to compensation that reflects the actual impact of your injuries.

📞 If you’ve been injured... don’t settle for less. Call 352-372-9999 or visit avera.com for a free consultation.

What’s it like to grow up immersed in the practice of law?

As part of a generational law firm, Attorney Alexandria Avera has admired her family’s commitment to serving others long before her own legal career began.

Alex’s grandfather, Bill Avera, founded the firm with the principle of serving the community. From an early age, Bill and her father, Attorney Mark Avera, her uncle, Attorney Lance Avera, and everyone at Avera & Smith taught her that people always come first.

Today, those same principles guide the way she advocates for every client.

🎧 To learn more about Alex and her path to becoming a lawyer, listen to the full episode titled “Alexandria Avera on a Trip & Fall Jury Trial in Gainesville, Florida” at https://tinyurl.com/4ejw2n8b.

Search laws are very different when it comes to your home versus your vehicle.

In Florida, there are very strict rules on when law enforcement can search your home or force you to step outside of it. As Criminal Defense Attorney John Whitaker mentions, there are a lot less restrictions when it comes to motor vehicles.

If you’ve been charged with a crime, don’t wait to talk to an attorney. Call 352-372-9999 or visit avera.com for a free consultation.
