Choosing the right personal injury attorney is one of the most important decisions you'll make after an accident. In Miami's competitive legal market, many firms advertise heavily but deliver little. Here's what actually matters.
Track Record — Not Just Advertising
Look for documented case results. Any attorney can claim they win big cases — few will show you actual settlements and verdicts. Gonzalez Munoz Law publishes case results including:
- $3,125,000 automobile accident wrongful death
- $1,100,000 medical malpractice
- $700,000 truck accident
- $529,000 slip and fall
Insurance-Side Experience — A Unique Advantage
Attorney Julio Muñoz's background representing insurance companies before switching to plaintiff work gives our firm an unmatched understanding of how adjusters evaluate claims, what they look for, and where cases typically break down.
Languages Spoken
Miami's population is largely Spanish-speaking, with significant Haitian Creole, Russian, and Italian communities. Gonzalez Munoz Law handles cases in English, Spanish, Russian, Italian, and Haitian Creole — no interpreter needed.
Contingency Fee — What It Means
Reputable personal injury firms work on contingency: no fee unless they recover for you. Be wary of firms that charge upfront fees or retainers for injury cases.
Communication
Your attorney should be accessible and responsive. Ask during your consultation: Who will be my primary contact? How quickly can I expect responses? Will I be updated on my case progress?
