I can confidently say that, without a doubt, I had the best lawyers in Florida represent me. Tavis Souder is amazing at what he does and makes sure that every one of his clients’ concerns are addressed. Everyone was very efficient and I was kept updated throughout the entire process. I am forever thankful to the entire team, but most especially to Tavis for helping me with my case and making sure I was given the proper care.
I am very grateful with Mr.Adams for his professionalism and his ability to resolve my case. He was very supportive through the whole process. Mr. Adams is a very good lawyer and his team is very lovely
Paul is such a wonderful person to work with. He kept me updated with everything going on and is very good at explaining. He did everything to the best of his ability to help me and my case. I definitely recommend him and this law firm to anyone.
I’ve been a client at this firm for a few months now and the level of professionalism shown by both the staff and the attorney has been so comforting and helpful. My accident caused me not only physical harm but actual anxiety and being walked through the process as they are doing for me now, is SO helpful that I feel very comfortable writing this review even before my case eventually goes to court or settles. Whatever the results the effort and care has been real so far and I appreciate Schwed Law firm for that!
The handle my case head on the Communication was great I never was left in the dark about anything thanks to the people over there Schwed and associates
Tavis and all the staff have been very helpful throughout this case. They all were very efficient throughout the process and assisted with any questions I had. I am highly recommending them for choosing their law firm for your needs.
What can I say but "kudos" to the best lawyers in Florida. It is safe to say and I am shouting confidently that I have gotten the opportunity to have had the service of Michael C. Peckham and Jannell A. Gonzalez to represent me with the most tedious sensitve case ever. He has helped me tremendously with my case which I was indeed thought I have zero percent chance of winning, but Micheal "aka" Mike did what he did best and exemplifies his expertise and won my case . Throughout my case he was very communicative, he expressed empathy and at all times maintained professionalism. He’s amazing at his job and I highly recommend him to everyone who needs a lawyer who will fight for his clients. He is a great listener, very concise, understanding, honest and very respectful. I have no doubt in recommending Mike and his Team for all your callous cases, he will get the job done and you will be smiling in the end. Best lawyers in Florida Team M.C.P and J.A.G. "KUDOS" THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR REMARKABLE SERVICE!
I just want to take the time and say everyone who worked with me on my case deserves a raise. I’m a super anxious person and they assured me that everything was going to be okay. I appreciated that they took the time to take my calls and e-mails. They actually care unlike most and that was what comforted me the most. They made sure I received the settlement I deserved and I couldn’t be more grateful. The process was super long but it was worth it and for that I thank you guys so much.
I hired the team of Schwed Law firm after my accident in 2021. My paralegal was always calling and checking on me and my attorneys fought to get me the best possible settlement. I would reccomend them to my friends and family. It was great to know I could count on my team to work hard for me. Great job !!!
Paul is an excellent attorney and an absolute pleasure to work with. I want to thank him for all of his guidance, hard work and professionalism throughout this process. Paul and his staff are truly a wonderful Team and I am grateful for all of their hard work throughout the course of my case. I could not have chosen a better attorney; Paul is witty and sharp and will fight for you til the very end. A+++
Hubert (Hubie) rendered professional and meticulous service in my vehicular accident case. Wasn't pushy to get things settled which was good as ultimately the case was settled above what we had thought initially. Hubie was also helpful in being prepared for the deposition on the case and in other aspects of billing support. I hope I don't have to turn to him again but if something unfortunate happens to me, friend or a loved one, I will definitely know where to go or send someone.
I would highly recommend the law firm of Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A.My attorney, Paul Adams, was very knowledgeable and professional. He walked me through every step of my case letting me know exactly what to expect. I was impressed with his ability to negotiate. He got me a good and fair settlement. If I ever need an attorney again I would definitely use him.Thank you, Mr. Adams.Diane R.
Paul Adam's and his team were always there to answer all and any questions I had. Very professional, they made sure and explained every part of the process and got me what I deserved...I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is in need of personal injury Attorney...
Mr. Adams was a blessing in disguise for me , I can not be more thankful for the way Mr. Adams and the whole firm treated me from the minute they took over my case . I'm so thankful that his firm gladly decided to take over and finish my lawsuit for me from another firm who if I could give them a -10 I would. I never imagined I would be where I am today physically mentally and financially because of the hard work , effort, dedication , and care Mr. Adams and his whole team put in . From the emails, to the calls and in between I never had to worry or question how my case was going . I highly recommend using Mr. Paul Adams and his firm where you're made to feel like family , not just a client. Again thank you so much Mr. Adams you really helped change my life for the better .
Hubie (McGinley) is a great guy, he helped settle my case and fought to get me the best he could. The staff was nice and responded quickly. Would use him again. Thanks Hubie!

Schwed Law Firm Florida helped me through a process that had me discouraged and almost convinced myself it was my fault and left to fend for myself. Until after being turned down by other high rating places I was entertaining the thought I had lost and had to return to my home State of NYC defeated and out sourced. But Schwed Law fought all the way through for my legal rights. They saw the me as an injured person and assisted me even while being a thousand miles away. Thank you Schwed Law. Your attentive and courteous Law Firm team members made smoother path of my recovery. Thank you, Schwed Law!

After falling and breaking both hips, I contactedthe first firm Pintelago -phonetic. I dealt witMs Israel.I received no contact and had to call in a few times to get an answer. My case was not big enough perhapsThen one happy day I was transferred to HughieMcGinley, who treated me and my case with interetgave good advice and kept in touch. My contact person was Alexandra Montoya. She was responsiveInformative and they both made me feel my case did merit attention. I am grateful and pleased to report they were successful in settling my suit what a reliefas I will be able to continue my PT for constant pain in the second hip which was not part of the first hip replacement. This sounds confusing no doubt, but let me say I was treated fsirly and kept up-to-date of thelengthy process. I felt they cared. That made all the difference to me. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, I had hope. I thank Hubie McGinley and Alex for helping me through this ordeal. They are both knowledgeable and caring and not simply filingyour name for a year, never asking how you feel;Or how you are managing g the pain and neededsurgeries and treatments. I thank the firm most sincerely. Now I feel encouraged to try my bestonce again.Trisha BanisExcuse the writing. Difficult on the phone. NoInternet at this time
My experience with this law firm was undeniable it was an experience that I would Highly recommend to anyone that is in need of these type of services.

I was very satisfied with the services from this Law Firm these guys were awesome and handle my settlement in a timely fashion if I had to use them again I would gladly do so
Swift, compassionate, and extraordinary customer service is how I would describe the experience felt by my lawyers here. Thank you very much for allowing me to live my life by completely handling the idiocracy of someone smashing into me from behind, trying to blame me for an accident, blatantly caused by the culprit texting and driving.... smh... drive safely ya'll, but if you have an accident, call this law firm; they won't disappoint.
Care, compassion and diligence are the three words that I use to describe the level of professionalism and precision that the team demonstrated on my behalf and towards me as an individual. Thank you is not enough and mere words will never express my gratitude.
Paul Shenell supported me all the way. I could call him anytime night or day. The team was very professional. I was always kept abreast of what’s going on. I would recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance. They are simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McGinley is one of the most genuine and kind hearted people. Although the process was long like any ordeal dealing with insurance companies, he always kept in touch with me and made sure I was up to date on everything happening. I would highly recommend using them for any of your personal injury needs.
My accident was a very long case it took over four years to settle. During that time I went through different case managers and a lot of times my information had to be explained over and over and over again which was kind of frustrated but over all my experience with attorney Peckham was amazing. He was knowledgeable, he was kind, and he listened, not to mention he got me the maximum amount allowed it in my case. I always felt prepared for any depositions or questions from opposing attorneys.
I was a victim of road rage accident in March 2016 and after changing two attorneys The team of Schwed, Adams & McGinley, P.A., took over my case. It was a challenging case as Allstate didn't want to pay and minimized both my physical and mental illness injuries (PTSD) even though I had two witnesses and a police report. My attorney Michael Peckham and his team did an outstanding job and was able to negotiate my medical bills and was able to retain for me some money for future medical expenses.Most of all, Michael truly has compassion and understanding for my case and how much this process affected me in addition to injuries caused by the car accident. He always made himself available when I needed him.As a licensed psychotherapist I work with many of my clients who suffer from chronic anxiety and daily stress and I will definitely refer my clients, friends, and colleagues. I highly recommend Michael Peckham.
Great experience, excellent communication both by paralegal Natalia and attorney Micheal Blum and Jason Dillard. There professionalism is unmatched. I would most certainly recommend this firm.
Everyone was very helpful and friendly. I loved my lawyer's professional and friendly disposition. Was very knowledgeable and informative. Thank you for your excellent service.
Through what was a very difficult situation I was never in doubt of the help I was getting from Hubert McGinley and his staff. Excellent communication and follow up on my behalf even when I was being difficult. Trust the process. Great firm.
I just wanted to personally thank Joel Gonzalez and Elizabeth Davidson for taking care of me at Schwed Law. Start to finish, the personalized attention to detail and catering to my case’s specific needs really helped me through the legal process. Schwed law took care of me, personally and financially. Highly recommended
I'm grateful to have chosen Schwed, Adams, & McGinley. I recommend any and everyone to give them a try. Thanks for helping me throughout a difficult year guys!
So I had a wreck that totaled my car. Not to mention my kid was in the car with me. This firm went above and beyond for me to get the help I needed! Thank you so much! It was a fast close as well! I recommend schwed and associates to anyone who has had a accident ect! Thanks guys!!
My wife was involved in a car accident which required a 2 level fusion operation on her spine. We retained Michael Blum to represent us against our own insurance company. Mr. Blum is caring, driven and highly knowledgeable. He understood the strengths and weaknesses of our case. He was able to position us for the best result we could have imagined. I highly recommend Mr. Blum and the team at Schwed to take care of you when you need it most.
“I was involved in a car accident and pursued my own insurance company to reimburse all medical providers. After two years without success, I then retained Michael Blum to represent me. Not only is Attorney Blum extremely knowledgeable in this area of the law, but he is also experienced in pursuing uncooperative insurance companies in a very professional and persistent fashion. Attorney Blum is the sum of logic and compassion, which he exhibits with clients and among other attorneys. He was always readily available any day of the week, including holidays, and was consistently pro-active. Attorney Blum’s ethics drove him to pursue the insurance company and make a wrong, a right, thus winning the case in my eyes. I would strongly recommend Attorney Blum to be on any one’s team as he treated my case as though it were his own accident.”Marlene Frank-Schinto
Paul was a great negotiator and Hubert did an excellent job of preparing me for what I was in store for. I got a reasonable settlement and I’m very happy this process is over with. I would definitely use these guys again
I have had a wonderful experience with Schwed Law. Throughout my entire case I haven’t had to worry about anything because they are always willing to take that extra mile to get what you want and deserve. I will recommend Schwed Law to anyone who needs a honest and hardworking attorney.
We’re very professional during my case and help me settle my settlement and dispute medical bills . Very satisfied with their work. I would use themAgain andAlso recommend them to friends and family.
I was very grateful for the support and guidance through my accident and medical treatments. The entire process was well handled by the staff and at a time that I truly needed help and support they were there for my family and I. Highly recommend their services to anyone in need.
They were so informative, knowledgeable, and, above all, showed the upmost professionalism. There aren’t enough words I can say about how thankful I am for their help and hard work!!
Mr.Schwed was outstanding. The entire staff at the firm were compassionate, friendly, professional and most of all settled my case in a timely manner! I would refer to everyone.
Schwed Law was beyond accommodating to my needs. The staff are friendly and assisted me in setting up my therapies and getting my property damage resolved. The attorney assured that I was up to date with all the proceedings and helped me to understand the process. Highly recommend this firm!
I had a wreck and immediately after my case was transferred to this law firm he was on it. He always answers the phone and promptly answers text messages, and he actually got me and a friend over double then expected . I absolutely recommend Paul Shalhoub, he's amazing!
I had a great experience! They stepped right in and took control and made sure i was taken care of. If you want someone who really cares get Schwed, Adams, Sobel, & McGinley! Also you have just got to meet Nick, he made sure i understood every facet of what was going on throughout my case!!!!
Schwed Law Firm helped me when I needed them the most. A car accident can change a person's life in an instant and It most definitely changed mine. The friendly staff and attorneys assisted me in getting a rental car when I totaled my vehicle. Whenever I called for case status, my paralegal (Alex Maleta) & attorney (Blake Swan) provided me with constant updates, keeping me in the loop from the day I signed up until the day my case settled. I rate this firm 5 STARS and would recommend them to anyone :) Sending my thanks to a GREAT firm for your EXCELLENT service!!!
After speaking to the Joel... Sorry if i miss spelled it! I have gotten clarity. I was infact upset and to be honest I'm still upset. But... I feel better. Thank you for reaching out and showing me that I matter. Im human I have feelings and to have 2 or 3 different people tell me 5 different things can be stressful. But Mr. Joel came in with the plan and said "hey I apologize and let me be the one to fix this." and when I say the job was done the job was DONE! Thank you so much i appreciate everything. If you need them ask for Joel not sure his last name or David Mayes!Thanks Guys!
Thank you so much. I am so pleased with Mr. Adams he is the perfect lawyer. I cannot thank him enough for all that he has done for me. I really appreciate everything. Thank you again!

I would like to share the experience I had with Schwed Law in particular Mr. Michael Peckham. I was injured in a bike accident. I was hit by a car and the motorist that hit me had basically no insurance to speak of. I contacted the Schwed Law firm and was initially interviewed by Michael Peckham. Michael spent some time on the phone with me, almost like a job interview. He said he would like to meet me in person and soon came to my apartment. I was immediately taken...
