🚨 THINK YOU’RE PROTECTED BY FLORIDA’S “STAND YOUR GROUND” LAW? READ THIS.

Florida’s Stand Your Ground law may provide immunity from criminal prosecution—and, in some circumstances, civil liability—when the legal requirements for self-defense are met.

But claiming self-defense doesn’t automatically guarantee immunity.

A Stand Your Ground immunity hearing can be a critical step in determining whether those protections apply before a case goes to trial.

Understanding your rights—and having an attorney who knows how to protect them—can make all the difference.

There were 4,843 DUI arrests in Hillsborough County through November 30, 2024.

That’s more than 400 DUI arrests per month—and behind every statistic is the potential for a crash, an injury, a criminal charge, or a family whose life is suddenly changed.

Driving under the influence puts everyone on the road at risk. If you’ve been drinking or using substances that impair your ability to drive, don’t get behind the wheel. Find a sober driver, use a rideshare, or make another safe plan.

But there’s another side to every DUI arrest.

⚖️ If you’ve been arrested for DUI, remember: an arrest is not a conviction. DUI charges can carry serious consequences, and you have the right to understand your legal options and protect your rights throughout the process.

Whether you’re facing a DUI charge or dealing with the aftermath of an impaired-driving crash, having an experienced attorney on your side can make a difference.

Stay safe. Know your rights. Drive sober.

Did you know that if you are arrested and charged with a DUI that there are two separate legal proceedings that begin?

The first is your criminal case, handled by the courts in Hillsborough County. The second is an administrative case handled by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). The DHSMV case decides your license. The court case decides your criminal record. These two cases move on different timelines, and a result in one does not decide the other. Your license can be suspended even if your criminal charge is later reduced or dropped.

On top of this, there is a critical 10-day period where you and your attorney must challenge the suspension of your license with the DHSMV or it could become automatic and there is no reversing it. 10 days only.

All of this can be overwhelming and as certified attorneys we can help you through the process so that you can manage everything that comes with your DUI. If you or someone you know has been arrested and charged with a DUI, don't wait, call our offices today at 813.217.5715.

🚌 SCHOOL BUS SAFETY: SLOW DOWN. STOP. PROTECT OUR KIDS.

As another school year gets underway, more school buses—and more children—will be sharing our roads. As drivers, we all have a responsibility to know the rules and stay alert.

🚍 When a school bus stops with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended:
• STOP and remain stopped.
• Do not pass the bus until the lights stop flashing and the stop arm is withdrawn.
• Be especially alert for children crossing the road or walking near the bus.
• Never try to “beat” a school bus or pass when you’re unsure whether you’re required to stop.
• Remember that traffic in both directions generally must stop on a road that does not have a physical median separating the lanes.

Know the law. Put the phone down. Slow down. And give our children the protection they deserve.

So much comes when you find yourself in a legal situation. Our job is to openly communicate, set expectations, and walk you through the entire process from beginning to end.

"I couldn’t have been more pleased with my experience. My attorney, Trevor, was lights-out awesome. He was kind, patient, professional and tough. He got the job done and did it very well , leaving me feeling relieved and confident with the outcomes. He and his team’s communication was golden through the entire process as well and they carefully explained every step and “scary law term” without me even having to ask. I highly recommend Trevor and Matassini Law firm. A+ you guys!! Thank you again 😊 " ~Daniel

Lime and Spin scooters now sit on nearly every downtown corner, from the Channel District to the edges of Ybor City. They make short trips easy. They also leave a rider with almost nothing between their body and the pavement. When a car clips a scooter or a defect sends someone over the handlebars, the medical bills arrive fast, and the first question I hear is simple: Who pays?

An electric scooter accident in Tampa is any crash involving a motorized scooter, often a rented Lime or Spin, that leaves the rider injured. The answer to who pays depends on how the crash occurred and which insurance policies are at play. Florida law treats scooter riders in a specific way, and that treatment shapes every claim that follows.

🎒📚 Wishing Everyone a Safe & Happy Start to the School Year!

As students head back to the classroom, we want to wish all students, parents, teachers, and school staff a safe, successful, and happy school year!

A new school year also means more activity on our roads—school buses, carpool lines, bicyclists, pedestrians, and young drivers will all be sharing the road.

🚗 Drivers: Slow down in school zones, stay alert, put the phone away, and always watch carefully for children and crossing pedestrians.

🚌 Students: Stay aware of your surroundings and follow school and traffic safety rules.

⚖️ If an accident or legal issue does arise, our team is here to help. Stay safe. Stay alert. Have a great school year! 🎓

Has your insurance claim been denied? Are one of these reasons being used for your denial?

* Missed deadlines, such as a late notice of the accident or a late claim filing
* Alleged policy exclusions or a lapse in coverage
* Disputed liability, where the carrier blames you for the loss
* “Insufficient documentation,” a catch-all that the adjuster reaches for when it wants more proof
* A valuation dispute, where the company agrees you are owed something but offers far less than the claim is worth

Any of these ringing true for you today? Are you fighting with your insurance company after an accident and coming up short and frustrated? We can help!

Reach out to our offices today and we can walk you through the process with getting the most return from your insurance company after your accident. Reach us at 813.217.5715.
