Avera & Smith, LLP Avera & Smith, LLP Avera & Smith, LLP has been representing Floridians for over 65 years. Our initial consultations are always free.

Our legacy is one of personal service and genuine caring for our clients. Most important, we have the experience and qualifications that have created a tradition of success that has not only earned us a great reputation, but helped get the best possible personal injury settlements and verdicts for our clients. The fact is, law firms who have the experience, willingness and skill to get the best jury verdicts typically get the best settlements for their clients, as well. Though no law firm can (or ever should) promise court wins or settlements, if you have a viable case and become our client, our fees will be paid only if we make a recovery on your behalf.

To the average person, insurance company adjusters may seem helpful... and even generous.

❌ But that’s not the case.

Adjusters for insurance companies tend to offer as little money as possible and, as Personal Injury Attorney Alex Avera mentions, undervalue your claim. That’s where we come in.

Our reputation in Gainesville and across North Florida helps our clients get the compensation they deserve. 📞 If you’ve been injured, call 352-372-9999 or visit avera.com for a free consultation.

Why do police administer breath tests AFTER the arrest? 🤔

✅ The answer is simpler than you think: they want the machine SAFE at the police department.

And as Attorney John Whitaker explains, even if your BAC (blood alcohol concentration) is below the legal limit, police can still charge you with a DUI based on other evidence.

📞 If you’ve been charged with a DUI or other criminal offense, call 352-372-9999 or visit avera.com for a free consultation.

Getting hurt in a car accident is hard enough. It’s even harder when you know it didn't have to happen, like when the other driver was texting instead of paying attention to the road.

Proving the other driver was on their phone takes more than just your word against theirs. At Avera & Smith, we dive into phone records, police reports, witness statements, and video footage to get the facts. That way, you can focus on getting better while we work to get you the compensation you deserve.

📞 If you’ve been injured in a distracted driving accident, call 352-372-9999 or visit avera.com for a free consultation.

How do you hire an attorney if you’re in jail?

If you’re sitting in jail, you won’t have access to money, a credit card, or much more than yourself and a phone. In many cases, you’ll need to contact a trusted friend or family member who can reach out to an attorney and handle the hiring process for you.

And remember: Don’t talk about your case over the phone. 📞

AI chat bots are not as confidential as you think...

Criminal Defense Attorney John Whitaker notes that if you commit a crime, officials can obtain a warrant to search your phone, which includes AI chats and search history.

Next time you search on ChatGPT or Claude, think to yourself, “Would I want the government to see this?”
