A statewide firm representing Orlando
Orlando representation from a statewide Florida injury firm
Orlando is one of the most heavily traveled cities in Florida. Interstate 4 runs through its center, the International Drive corridor draws millions of visitors each year, and Orlando International Airport feeds a constant flow of rental-car and rideshare traffic. Those conditions produce a high volume of serious collisions, many involving out-of-state drivers, commercial vehicles, and visitors unfamiliar with local roads.
A claim arising from an Orlando crash often involves insurers, rental-car companies, and rideshare carriers that litigate aggressively. Effective representation requires both a command of Florida personal-injury law and a willingness to take a case to trial when an insurer's offer does not reflect the full value of the claim.
DiStefano Law is based in Fort Lauderdale, and the firm represents injured clients throughout Florida, including Orlando. Many Orlando clients work with us entirely by phone and video; when a matter requires it, we appear in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court in Orange County. When you contact the firm, you reach a Florida attorney with more than 40 years of in-state practice — not an out-of-state intake service.
Where you are located is rarely an obstacle. Cases are accepted across Florida, and your initial review is free, confidential, and same-day.

Common questions
Orlando injury questions, answered
Do I have to come to Fort Lauderdale to work with DiStefano Law?
No. DiStefano Law represents clients throughout Florida, and most Orlando clients work with the firm entirely by phone, email, and video. When a matter requires a court appearance, we handle it in the Ninth Judicial Circuit in Orange County. Your location is rarely an obstacle to representation.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Orlando?
Florida's statute of limitations for most negligence claims is two years from the date of the injury (Fla. Stat. § 95.11). Certain claims carry different deadlines, and notice requirements apply when a government entity is involved. Because evidence is best preserved early, we recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible.
What is my Orlando accident case worth?
The value of a claim depends on the severity of the injury, the available insurance coverage, the degree of fault, and the long-term effect on your health and earnings. Florida's modified comparative-negligence rule (Fla. Stat. § 768.81) can reduce a recovery if you are found partly at fault. We provide a candid assessment after reviewing the specific facts of your case.
What does it cost to hire the firm?
Nothing up front. DiStefano Law handles personal-injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means there is no fee unless we recover for you. Your initial case review is always free and confidential.
