Tina Michelle Willis

Orlando Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyer

Firm Overview

Tina Willis Law takes a fundamentally different approach from most Orlando personal injury and car accident law firms. Founded by Tina Willis, a former law professor and defense attorney who graduated second in her law school class, this boutique firm deliberately maintains a low caseload to ensure each client receives exceptional attention and representation. With over 25 years of experience handling complex, multi-million dollar cases, Ms. Willis brings unparalleled expertise to every client she serves.

The firm focuses primarily on serious car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, brain injuries, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death cases throughout Central Florida. Unlike high-volume "settlement mills" that process hundreds of cases simultaneously with minimal attorney involvement, Tina Willis Law embraces an old-fashioned, client-centered approach that prioritizes maximizing case value through meticulous preparation and strategic legal advocacy.

This difference in philosophy directly impacts case outcomes. Many Orlando personal injury firms operate as high-volume operations, often settling quickly for less than full value. Willis instead dedicates the time needed to maximize each case's value through careful evidence gathering, strategic medical documentation, comprehensive trial preparation, and aggressive negotiation tactics learned during her years representing insurance companies and large corporations.

A Low-Volume Approach That Maximizes Case Value

At Tina Willis Law, the intentionally low caseload allows for direct attorney involvement from initial consultation through case resolution. Unlike firms where clients primarily interact with case managers or paralegals, Ms. Willis ensures hands-on attorney guidance throughout the entire process. This personalized approach allows for deep understanding of each client's situation and helps ensure no valuable evidence or case details are overlooked.

The firm's selective approach is backed by academic research showing that high-volume settlement mills often achieve lower settlements for serious injury victims. By focusing on quality over quantity, Tina Willis Law has recovered millions for clients with cases ranging from moderate injuries to catastrophic harm and wrongful death.

Car & Truck Accidents

After any Orlando car or truck accident, immediate action is critical to protecting your case value. Tina Willis Law provides urgent guidance about dealing with insurance adjusters, documenting injuries, and avoiding common mistakes that could harm your case. The firm's approach emphasizes thorough preparation from day one – securing proper medical treatment from qualified providers who can effectively document and testify about your injuries, gathering all available evidence before it disappears, and developing comprehensive documentation of how injuries affect every aspect of your life.

For semi-truck and commercial vehicle accidents, the firm takes immediate additional steps to secure driver logs, maintenance records, and electronic data before these critical items can be altered or destroyed. With significantly higher insurance coverage and multiple potentially responsible parties involved in these cases, the firm's extensive experience with federal trucking regulations and complex litigation strategies becomes invaluable.

Medical Malpractice

For medical malpractice cases at major facilities like AdventHealth and Orlando Health, Tina Willis Law handles only cases involving serious to catastrophic injuries or wrongful death. Florida's complex and restrictive malpractice laws require extensive investigation and expert review before filing suit. The firm has developed strong relationships with leading medical experts who can effectively evaluate and testify about medical errors.

These cases might include paralysis, blindness, birth injuries, surgical errors, delayed cancer diagnosis, or other devastating outcomes. The firm focuses heavily on proving both liability and the full extent of damages, including future medical needs and life care costs for permanently disabled clients.

Brain & Catastrophic Injuries

Brain injury cases demand specialized medical and legal knowledge. Whether caused by car accidents, falls, or medical negligence, even "mild" traumatic brain injuries can result in life-altering changes. Tina Willis Law ensures clients receive evaluation and treatment from leading neurologists and radiologists who utilize cutting-edge diagnostic techniques, which are critical for objectively proving these often-invisible injuries.

For all catastrophic injury cases, including spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and amputations, the firm works with top neuropsychologists and life care planning experts to demonstrate how these injuries affect daily living, future medical needs, and long-term care requirements.

Premises Liability & Slip and Fall

For premises liability cases, evidence preservation must begin immediately, as property owners often quickly repair dangerous conditions after an accident. Tina Willis Law accepts these cases only when involving serious injuries, as recent changes to Florida law have made premises cases even more challenging.

The firm focuses on thoroughly documenting dangerous conditions, investigating maintenance records, and proving the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard but failed to address it. Their approach works to overcome Florida's comparative fault system, which prevents recovery if the plaintiff is found more than 50% responsible.

Maximizing Case Value Through Expert Representation

What truly sets Tina Willis Law apart is their comprehensive approach to case preparation. From day one, they develop customized strategies for each case, including:

- Immediate client guidance on critical early decisions that can affect case value

- Strategic selection of medical providers who are both excellent treating physicians and experienced expert witnesses

- Comprehensive evidence gathering before critical items can be lost or destroyed

- Careful documentation of how injuries affect work, family life, and daily activities

- Thorough investigation of all potential insurance coverage and liable parties

- Direct attorney involvement in all significant case decisions and negotiations

This thorough approach often results in significantly higher settlements, particularly in serious injury cases where the full impact may not be immediately apparent.
