Attorney Information
Overview
Gabriel F. Zambrano is a long-time resident of South Florida, who has practiced law throughout the State of Florida since 1994. He began his career handling commercial litigation and insurance defense cases from inception through resolution by mediation or trial. He holds an AV rating through the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating system.
His trial experience includes handling complex and catastrophic injury cases, as well as multiple trials that approached or exceeded thirty days at trial. In 2011, he was invited to serve as co-counsel in an Engle Tobacco trial that resulted in one of the largest reported verdicts in 2011. Today, he advocates on behalf of victims of personal injuries, and assists individuals seeking justice. Mr. Zambrano gained national prominence as an early advocate for girls and women that suffered life altering blood clots, strokes or heart damage from use of the Blockbuster drug Drospirenone (DRSP) containing birth control pills trademarked and manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals as Yasmin, YAZ, Beyaz & Safyral.
Attorney Zambrano explains that his determined passion for victims and families comes from his personal experiences as a naturalized American Citizen and First-Generation American Immigrant. “I know how hard people have to work to get ahead and pursue their version of the American Dream. To have a crash, drug or defective product, derail your future is life altering and our civil justice system provides a potential remedy and method for holding companies and people accountable. Trial Attorneys’ and experienced advocates are the only way to level the playing field against insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies or product manufacturers. Contingency fee, no recovery – no fee contracts, allow us to bear the risk and utilize our resources to seek legal redress and change on behalf of victims.”
