The first few moments after an arrest matter more than most people realize.

You have the right to remain silent, and exercising that right can protect you. Avoid answering questions or making statements until you’ve spoken with an attorney.

What you say in the moment can follow you throughout a case.

Save this post so you have it if you ever need it & follow along each week as we answer the legal questions people are searching most.

I’m proud to celebrate my partner, Attorney Brandi Thomas, on her induction into the 2026 Hall of Fame by the Tallahassee Barristers Association.

This kind of recognition carries weight. It comes from the same legal community that sees the work up close, understands the responsibility we carry, and knows what it takes to show up and deliver for people every day.

Brandi does that with consistency, discipline, and a real commitment to the clients and community we serve. She brings strength to this firm and to this work, and this moment reflects her dedication.

At Akbar Thomas, we believe in standing up for our people both in the courtroom and in the community. Brandi represents that fully.
Join me in congratulating her on this well-deserved induction into the Hall of Fame. - Attorney Mutaqee Akbar

She survived. But her life will never be the same.
After a violent attack outside of an Orlando business left a young woman with life-threatening, life-altering injuries, the business involved tried to deny responsibility and move on.

We couldn’t. And we didn’t.

We took the case, proved liability, and secured full policy limits. While the details are confidential, the principle is not.
If you or someone you love is seriously injured and you’re told “there’s no case,” don’t assume that’s the final answer.

Get a second opinion. Have someone actually investigate. Accountability often depends on whether someone is willing fight for you. If you or someone you know has been injuried, give us a call. We will fight for the justice and compensation you are owed.

Happy National Employee Appreciation Day.

We couldn’t help ourselves with this trend.

Before the cases, courtrooms, and client calls… the team behind Akbar Thomas looked a little different. Each slide features a baby photo of someone who helps shape the work we do every day.

See if you can guess who’s who before you reach the final slide.

Drop your score in the comments and let us know how many you got right.

Today and every day, we’re grateful for the incredible minds, dedication, and heart behind this firm.
