Our Practice Areas

We represent individuals and families across Southwest Florida in some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Whether you were injured in a crash, charged with a crime, navigating a family dispute, or planning for the future, we bring the same level of preparation, strategy, and determination to every case.

Personal Injury – Auto Accidents, Slip & Fall, and Wrongful Death

A serious accident can change your life in seconds. Florida law requires drivers and property owners to use reasonable care to keep others safe. When they fail to do so and you are injured, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. We handle auto accidents, slip and fall injuries, and wrongful death cases, working to prove fault, document your injuries, and hold the responsible parties accountable. From preserving evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and, when necessary, taking your case to trial, we fight to secure the compensation you deserve.

Criminal Defense – Protecting Your Freedom

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, your rights, record, and freedom are at stake. You need a lawyer who understands how cases are built—and how to tear them apart. As a former prosecutor and former traffic magistrate, Attorney James M. Scarmozzino brings decades of courtroom experience to your defense. We handle traffic offenses, DUI charges, misdemeanors, and serious felony cases. From the moment you call us, we focus on protecting your constitutional rights, challenging the evidence, and pursuing the best possible outcome—whether that means dismissal, reduced charges, or taking your case to trial.

Family Law – Divorce, Custody, and Support

Family law cases are as personal as it gets. Divorce, paternity, child custody, and support disputes can affect your children, your finances, and your future. Our firm is committed to protecting your rights while helping you make clear, informed decisions during a stressful time. We work with you to understand your goals, explain your options, and develop a strategy tailored to your situation—whether that involves negotiation, mediation, or litigation. Our approach is straightforward: honest advice, strong advocacy, and a focus on long-term stability for you and your family.

Estate Planning – Wills, Trusts, and Asset Protection

A well-crafted estate plan is one of the most important gifts you can give your loved ones. We help individuals and families throughout Southwest Florida create plans that protect their assets, provide for the people they care about, and honor their wishes. Our estate planning services include wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, advance healthcare directives, and strategies to avoid unnecessary court involvement. Whether you are just getting started or updating an existing plan, we take the time to understand your goals and design a plan built to stand the test of time.
