Bio

Charles Buist

Every person has a story. From the day we’re born, we begin writing that story, chapter by chapter. None of us knows how the next chapters will unfold, but we all share the same hopes: good health, family, and the chance to pursue our dreams.

But what happens when everything changes in an instant? What if an accident, injury, or act of negligence turns your world upside down and forces you to start a chapter you never planned to write?

For many people, that’s the reality after a devastating personal injury. Lives are forever altered by events outside of their control. Blue skies become storms, optimism turns to fear, and the life they knew vanishes overnight.

That’s when people call us. And for us, it’s an honor to be the law firm people trust when life feels impossible. We take that responsibility seriously, and we approach every case guided by three core values:

1. Excellence

We approach every case with the determination to deliver the best possible results. We do not do things halfway. We do them right. Our legal team prepares each case with precision, strategy, and a winning mindset. We are not here to participate; we are here to win for our clients.

2. Empathy

Behind every case is a real person with a real story. We treat every client with dignity and respect, and we take the time to listen. While we may handle many cases, each client has only one, and it matters deeply to them. Our attorneys build personal relationships with every client because understanding their story helps us tell it powerfully in court.

3. Evolution

We believe in continuous improvement. Our firm constantly learns, adapts, and evolves. Whether it is embracing new technologies, refining trial strategies, or investing in professional growth, we are always moving forward. Growth is not optional; it is our duty to our clients.

Our mission is simple: to build lasting relationships with every client we serve. Every decision, every strategy, and every courtroom appearance is made with one goal in mind: to protect our clients’ stories and help them rebuild their futures.

Nick Spetsas

When catastrophic injury or wrongful death strikes, you need an attorney who knows exactly how insurance companies think, and how to beat them at their own game. Nick brings a unique advantage to every case: years spent defending major corporations and their insurance companies, now turned into a powerful weapon for injured victims and families seeking justice.

Nick’s path to becoming one of Florida’s most formidable trial attorneys began with an insider’s education. After earning his law degree from the University of South Carolina, where he fought for clients as a certified student-attorney at the Juvenile Justice Clinic, Nick strategically chose to learn the defense’s playbook before representing injured people. He worked for Florida’s largest insurance defense firm and then a prominent national insurance defense law firm. He defended Fortune 500 companies in high-stakes litigation involving catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, trucking accidents, and product liability cases.

Today, Nick uses that insider knowledge to his advantage as a trial attorney. Nick knows every tactic insurance companies use to minimize settlements. He knows their negotiation strategies, their trial techniques, and their pressure points. He applies the lessons he learned working for big businesses and insurance companies to maximize recovery for his clients, turning corporate defense strategies against the very companies that taught them to him.

Nick has built his reputation on results that speak louder than words. His aggressive representation and deep understanding of complex litigation have helped him get millions of dollars for his clients, many of whom were rejected by other firms and told they didn’t have a case.

Nick’s philosophy is simple but powerful: Treat every client like family and fight harder than the opposition expects. When you work with Nick, you’re not just hiring an attorney, you’re gaining an advocate who understands both sides of the battlefield and knows exactly how to win.

From his roots in Philadelphia to building his practice in the Sunshine State, Nick has never forgotten that behind every case is a person whose life has been forever changed. That’s why he gets up every morning, puts on the uniform, and goes to war for his clients.
