Earning the respect and trust of their peers is one of the largest indicators the firm uses to determine its place in the field. And since the vast majority of the case at MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers are referrals, it’s proof that their formula is working. 

One of Tampa Bay’s Most Referred Law Firms

“We’ve communicated that we don’t just want the most challenging, most intricate and most complex cases, but that we can handle them. And it says we’re doing something right when we keep getting those referrals again and again,” says Board-Certified Medical Malpractice and Board-Certified Civil Trial Lawyer Jeffrey “Jack” Gordon. “Being sought after as co-counsel is one of the biggest compliments my firm can receive.”

Even opposing counsel express positive reviews like, “My experience with…MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers has been extremely positive. They are the opposing counsel, and even though I am litigating against them…I respect this firm and its medical malpractice department and give them the highest rating possible.”

Why They’re One of the Best

Did you know most cases don’t go to trial? And that most lawyers don’t either? That doesn’t mean trial attorneys aren’t necessary though. It’s the opposite. When a defendant goes up against a law firm like MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, they tend to value the case higher because if a quality law firm with a great success rate sees this case is worth the resources, then they know it’s going to be a serious fight.

When going to court is your end game if settlements aren’t made, it gives you a leg up. Imagine the pressure and stress of playing in a Sunday Night Football game, but imagine that pressure if you’ve only done it once or twice in contrast to a team that has made it practically a habit. Whether it’s a medical malpractice case involving Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia, a spinal injury, a birth defect or a personal injury case involving a car, truck or even boat accident, experience makes a difference in the courtrooms. And defendants look into the law firms they are fighting against very early on. If they don’t know the firm and lawyers, they look them up and see the kind of results, resources and credentials they have.

Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia – One of Many Areas of Specialty

There are two types of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia:

• HIT I
• HIT II

HIT I is when the platelet levels drop within the first few days of taking heparin, but then return to normal. This is less severe and does not require treatment.

HIT II is considered a severe medical complication that requires immediate treatment. It occurs when the body’s immune system activates the platelets in response to the drug heparin. This reaction causes the platelet levels to fall and puts the patient at risk of developing severe blood clots that can lead to the loss of limbs or even death.

MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers has become trusted and recognized more and more for handling these cases as people have reached out to them from across the country. They have been sufficiently fortunate to have achieved recovery for their clients in certain particularly complex areas of medicine and medical injury like HIT cases.

Community Involvement

With hundreds of hours of pro-bono work done per year by the attorneys, they focus heavily on their community. “If the greatness of any community is truly measured by its willingness to identify and assist those in need, then let each of us commit to making ours even greater by rolling up our sleeves and putting in the work,” says Mr. Gordon. “We actively participate in the non-profit space. We are yearly the executive sponsor for the Tampa Magazines’ Tampa Bay Charity Register, we supply grants for the Stetson University’s College of Law, speak at various events, lecture and more.”

Have a Top-Rated Law Firm Fight for You

“It takes time to build a business to the level where not only your clients trust you, but your peers as well,” says Mr. Gordon. “And I’m fortunate to love what I do so it feels less like a job and more like a blessing. Whether it’s consulting a non-client for a couple hours over the phone by empathizing and guiding them down a path best suited for them or rolling my sleeves up to fight for a victim of negligence at 2am the night before a trial, I get to do what I love. And with bringing on lawyers who feel similar, I truly believe that has made the kind of impact which has garnered the trust from across the community, state and even the country.”
