Firm Information
Overview
At our Tampa-based firm, we have many combined decades of legal experience. We have established a solid reputation for legal success throughout the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas.
We have successfully assisted thousands of homeowners, condominium associations, hotel owners, country clubs, restaurants, churches and other business entities in seeking rightful compensation for their property insurance claims.
At Stockham Law Group, P.A., we empower our clients to assert their rights against insurance companies. We help them effectively navigate the insurance claims process and provide them with legal assistance tailored to each client’s needs.
We represent property owners facing the serious consequences of construction defects. Whether caused by poor workmanship, design flaws, substandard materials or other forms of negligence, these issues can compromise safety and property value. Our experienced trial attorneys understand the complexities of construction defect litigation and are prepared to hold negligent contractors, subcontractors, and other responsible parties accountable.
Construction defect cases at Stockham Law Group, P.A., are handled by attorneys Meghan DeTemple Johnson, Donna DeVaney Stockham, Kelly Fantetti, Nicole Vinson, and Falyn Hahn. We work closely with inspectors and experts to build strong cases and pursue the compensation our clients deserve. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are committed and fully prepared to take these cases to trial or arbitration. We handle construction defect claims throughout Florida.
Our firm excels in providing condominium and community associations with excellent legal counsel. Attorneys George D. Root, III and Jacob Delorme possess a deep knowledge of the subtleties within Florida’s community association statutes. Their experience allows us to excel in both resolving current legal challenges and crafting strategies to prevent future disputes, employing arbitration, mediation, or litigation when necessary.
We guide our clients through the intricate legal framework that influence community association management. Additionally, we offer continuing education units for licensed community association managers (LCAMs), enhancing their understanding and governance capabilities. Trust our expertise to navigate and manage your association’s legal needs effectively.
At Stockham Law Group, P.A., we understand that many of our personal injury clients may feel overwhelmed by the complexities of the legal system and the tactics employed by insurance companies. To alleviate this burden, we take on the responsibility of dealing directly with insurers, aiming to secure fair compensation for injuries sustained in accidents.
Attorney James Ragano specializes in cases involving nursing home abuse. He will provide thorough assistance by evaluating case details to ascertain evidence of abuse or negligence. We gather essential evidence, such as medical reports, witness testimonies and records from the facility, to build strong cases.
We are steadfast in our commitment to victims, so we represent them exclusively. We do not provide legal services to insurance companies.
