Firm Information

Overview

At Whittel & Melton, LLC, we are a full-service Florida law firm with an emphasis on personal service. We serve clients in St. Petersburg and throughout the state of Florida.

We focus on three main areas of law:

  • Personal injury: If you have been injured in a car crash or other type of accident caused by someone else's negligence, our lawyers will help you obtain the medical care you need and the compensation you deserve.
  • Wrongful death: If you lost a family member in a fatal accident caused by another person's negligence, our lawyers will hold the negligent party accountable for damages such as lost financial support and loss of consortium.
  • Criminal defense and DUI: Criminal charges can carry consequences far beyond a fine and possible jail time. Any time you plead guilty to a criminal offense, you will end up with a criminal record that could affect you for the rest of your life. To protect your future, contact a lawyer before you talk to the police.

Whatever legal issue you are facing, our goal is to help you obtain the best possible outcome. We usually do this though skilled negotiations with the other side. If the other side is unreasonable, we are willing and able to use the power of the court to protect your rights. We offer a free initial consultation discuss your case. Call 727-847-2299 to schedule a consultation. Phones are answered 24 hours a day. Evening and weekend appointments are available.

Our lawyers include former state of Florida prosecutors, retired military personnel and a retired New York City police officer. Our two founding members, Robert G. Whittel and Jason M. Melton, are former nominees for state and federal office.

We offer nine office locations in Florida, including St. Petersburg. We offer evening and weekend appointments. Se habla espaรฑol.
