Practice Areas
Serious cases. Focused preparation.
Injury, malpractice, civil rights, defective products, and fraud against the government—handled with a trial lawyer’s attention to the evidence.
Accident & Personal Injury
A serious injury case is won with evidence gathered early: vehicle data, scene photographs, surveillance footage, witness statements, and complete medical documentation of everything the injury has taken from you. We move to preserve that evidence and identify every responsible party and applicable insurance policy.
The firm handles automobile, motorcycle, and trucking collisions; boating and aviation accidents; premises liability and negligent security; and wrongful death claims under Florida law.

Medical Malpractice
Florida medical negligence cases are governed by a demanding presuit process. Before suit may be filed, the case generally must be corroborated by a qualified medical expert and the providers placed on formal notice, opening a presuit investigation. Powell Law Offices has guided injured patients and grieving families through that process—and through trial—for over forty years.
Representative matters include anesthesia and surgical errors, failures to diagnose cancer and infection, radiation injuries, birth-related brain damage, medication errors, and nursing neglect.
- Surgical & anesthesia errors
- Failure to diagnose
- Birth-related brain injury
- Radiation injury
- Medication errors
- Nursing neglect
Civil Rights
Federal law may provide a remedy when an officer makes an arrest without probable cause or uses excessive force. When a violation flows from a municipality’s policies or its failure to train, supervise, or discipline officers, a claim may also lie against the municipality.
These cases often involve qualified immunity, early motions, and appeals. The evidence—video, internal affairs files, personnel records, and training materials—must be found and preserved promptly.
- False arrest
- Excessive force
- Unlawful detention
- Government liability
- Failure to train
- Related state-law claims
Defective Medical Devices & Medications
When a defective device or dangerous medication causes injury, the claim may run against the manufacturer and require engineering, regulatory, and medical evidence. Implants, surgical mesh, and drugs reach patients through a system manufacturers understand well; the case must be prepared with equal sophistication.
These matters may proceed alongside claims involving the physicians who prescribed or implanted the product without proper evaluation. The firm evaluates each path and pursues the responsible parties supported by the evidence.
- Defective implants
- Surgical mesh
- Dangerous prescription drugs
- Over-the-counter products
- Failure to warn
- Design & manufacturing defects
Fraud Upon the United States
The False Claims Act allows a private citizen with knowledge of fraud against the federal government—such as healthcare billing, defense and procurement fraud, or false certifications—to file suit on the government’s behalf. The case is filed under seal while the United States investigates.
These cases demand discretion and preparation before filing. The quality of the disclosure can affect whether the government intervenes. With an office on K Street in Washington, D.C. and decades of complex federal litigation experience, the firm is positioned to prepare qui tam matters carefully. Consultations are strictly confidential.
- Healthcare billing fraud
- Defense contractor fraud
- Procurement fraud
- False certifications
- Retaliation claims
- Confidential disclosures
