After our client was viciously attacked by a warehouse guard dog during regular business hours it became clear that no amount of money could begin to compensate her for the trauma and physical scarring she has suffered. The owners claimed the guard dog was ‘just doing its job’, but as the case developed, we learned the dog was a former stray, had a history of prior bites, had no security training, but was still kept on premises in the daytime without any explicit warning to visitors.

We knew we had to hold them accountable. Hopefully the 7-figures they were forced to pay our client after a long court battle hits home and deters them from further reckless behavior that could injure more innocent people. We know our client did good and did well here and we’re honored to have helped.

Our clients were injured in a preventable Miami-Dade County auto accident, leaving them hurt, scared and unsure of what to do. Through our team's counsel and advocacy we were able to secure the policy limits from not one, but two separate insurance companies and assured that our clients were able to recover the maximum amount. As a result, they received the necessary treatment, their bills were fully covered and they received a significant amount for pain and suffering. We're always thrilled when there is a happy ending to a scary situation!

We are thrilled to welcome our newest addition to the firm, attorney Jonathan Baxter!

Prior to joining The Law Offices of David J. Gillis, Jonathan worked as an insurance defense attorney in Miami. That experience gave him valuable insight that he can now use on behalf of individuals in their fight to hold companies, insurers and bad actors accountable for their negligent and dangerous actions and practices.

Outside of the office Jonathan enjoys spending time with his wife Ana, and their puppy, Miso (not the soup, though they enjoy that too!). When Jonathan is not hanging out with Miso, he and his wife share a passion for traveling and have explored 11 different countries including Mexico, Iceland, and Japan.

Jonathan is a quick witted, compassionate and hard working attorney whose many skills include fluency in Spanish and Florida litigation. We are grateful to have him on our team!

If you or someone you know needs legal assistance, our bilingual team is here to help. Reach out for a case evaluation by Mr. Baxter or Mr. Gillis!

Our sweet client slipped and fell, causing a serious fracture, as a result of a liquid substance that was left on the floor at a luxury hotel brand. The hotel initially denied responsibility but ultimate paid our client a quarter million dollars to cover her medical bills and compensate her for the intense and unnecessary pain she experienced because of their negligence.
