Today we’d like to introduce you to Justin Jaffe, Rick-Vincent Garcia, Jose Aguirre.

Justin, Rick-Vincent, Jose, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
It all started awhile back when we had a vision to change the legal industry for the better. We were all at our old law firms wondering why clients were so upset and why lawyers had such bad reputation. After looking into the problem, we identified that there were three major issues with the profession. 1. lawyers charge too much/too expensive. 2. the attorney/client relationship is dwindling away due to lack of effective communication. 3. lack of proper use of technology/lack of evolution. Once this was identified, we knew then and there it was time to leave our steady jobs to start a revolution!

Has it been a smooth road?
The legal industry and law profession as a whole is very unique and something young lawyers can never be prepared for. The business of law is unlike any other and law school does not prepare you for how to run a successful law practice/business. The day to day struggles of managing and running a business must be self taught and there is no handbook for how to do so. Going out to originating new business is also a daily struggle when the public doesn’t know who you are and the competition is vast and has unlimited advertising budgets.

We’d love to hear more about your business.
We created the lowercase fee because we believe that if you are hurt or wronged, you deserve a larger percentage of your personal injury claim compensation. On a contingency fee case, the percentages a lawyer can receive for their services are capped by the Florida Bar. Most law firms charge these maximum percentages and these rates have become an industry standard.

If your case settles before it enters into litigation, the Florida Bar allows lawyers to take 33.33% of the award. If your case settles while it is in litigation or a jury verdict is returned, the Florida Bar allows lawyers to take 40% of the award.

The lowercase fee remains the same, at 30%*, regardless of whether or not your personal injury case enters into litigation. Since the lowercase fee remains the same, our attorneys won’t enter your case into litigation, potentially prolonging the dispute, for the sole purpose of receiving a higher payout fee on your award. Every case is different and the decision of whether or not we litigate will be solely based on what is best for your individual case. Remember, if we don’t get you compensation, you don’t pay us anything.

Lowercase doesn’t care about industry standards, we care about our clients. You are coming to us because you need help. We want to help you by delivering justice and compensation while putting a bigger chunk of your award in your pocket.

When you look back, what are you most proud of?
Starting lowercase!
