A statewide firm representing Fort Myers
Fort Myers representation from a statewide Florida injury firm
Fort Myers anchors one of the fastest-growing regions in Florida. Interstate 75, the Tamiami Trail, and arterials such as Daniels Parkway and Colonial Boulevard carry steadily increasing traffic, and ongoing construction, a heavy seasonal population, and travelers moving through Southwest Florida International Airport all contribute to serious collisions throughout Lee County.
Claims arising from Fort Myers crashes are litigated in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit. Many involve high-speed interstate collisions, commercial vehicles, or out-of-area drivers — circumstances that reward thorough investigation and a willingness to try a case when an insurer's offer falls short of a claim's true value.
DiStefano Law is based in Fort Lauderdale, and the firm represents injured clients throughout Florida, including Fort Myers. Many Fort Myers clients work with us entirely by phone and video; when a matter requires it, we appear in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court in Lee 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
Fort Myers injury questions, answered
Do I have to come to your office to work with DiStefano Law?
No. The firm represents clients throughout Florida, and most Fort Myers clients work with us entirely by phone, email, and video. When a court appearance is required, we handle it in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in Lee County. Your location is rarely an obstacle to representation.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Fort Myers?
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. Preserving evidence early is important, so we recommend contacting an attorney promptly.
Who pays my medical bills after a crash in Florida?
Florida is a no-fault state. Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays initial medical expenses up to its limit regardless of fault (Fla. Stat. § 627.736). When injuries are serious, a claim against the at-fault driver may be available for the losses PIP does not cover. We help identify every applicable source of coverage.
What does it cost to hire the firm?
Nothing up front. DiStefano Law handles personal-injury cases on a contingency-fee basis — no fee unless we recover for you — and your initial case review is always free and confidential.
