Yelena Belova, Golden Retriever-at-Law (unofficial), specializes in one case type: winning you over. Initial consultation may involve a protective stare-down, but opposing counsel folds fast once she produces Exhibit A: your own shoe, delivered with a full-body wiggle. Additional evidence of good character includes an excellent nap-cuddle alliance with her cat sister Freya. Case closed, pup cup ordered.

Meet Duke - yes, he's 100% real, no filters, no AI, just an extremely photogenic Golden Retriever who also happens to be a TMH Animal Therapy dog. Duke didn't join this family; he chose it. He's so good at his job that he inspired all four of his humans to become therapy volunteers too - talk about closing arguments. Off duty, you'll find him doing what he does best: fetch, pool time, cuddles, and being a very good boy. No further questions.

We are proud to announce that Hal Lewis of Fonvielle, Lewis, Messer & McConnaughhay has been named the 2027 "Lawyer of the Year" for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in Tallahassee by Best Lawyers®!

This honor is awarded to just one attorney per practice area and metro region in each edition, based entirely on Best Lawyers' Purely Peer Review® process — confidential evaluations submitted by other leading, currently recognized attorneys who assess their peers' legal abilities and professional accomplishments within the same specialty and geographic area. There is no application and no self-nomination; it reflects the respect Hal has earned from fellow attorneys across our region.

This is not Hal's first time receiving this distinction—he was also named Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury Litigation in Tallahassee in 2011. Since this designation goes to only one attorney per practice area and region each year, earning it twice in a career is a rare and remarkable distinction.

Hal has been recognized by Best Lawyers continuously since 2006 and is Board Certified in Personal Injury Law.

Please join us in congratulating Hal on this well-deserved recognition!

Meet Ponyo - proof that the best cases have the best comeback stories. She came to us as a foster from Champs Chance with a rough past, and it didn't take long to know this was never going to be temporary. These days, she's living her best life with Dani: beach trips, office visits, and keeping her brother-cats, Gus Gus and Duke, in line. She may only have one working eye, but she's still got it on you.

Florida is consistently ranked among the most dangerous states in the country for pedestrians. If you were hit by a vehicle, the law is on your side.

Pedestrians in marked crosswalks have the right of way in Florida. Drivers who fail to yield, run red lights, or are distracted by their phones can be held fully liable for the injuries they cause — injuries that, without a vehicle's protection, are almost always severe.

What you should know:

① Even if you were not in a crosswalk, the driver may still be at fault.
② Florida's modified comparative negligence allows partial recovery even if you share some fault — as long as you were not more than 50% responsible.
③ Hit-and-run pedestrian accidents are covered by your own UM policy.
④ Medical bills, lost wages, permanent disability, and pain and suffering are all compensable.

Pedestrian accident injuries frequently include broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, and internal trauma. These cases deserve serious representation — not a quick settlement that doesn't account for your long-term needs.

A spinal cord injury is one of the most life-altering things that can happen to a person. The legal case that follows must reflect that reality.

Spinal cord injuries sustained in accidents — car crashes, truck collisions, falls, diving accidents — range from herniated discs and nerve damage to partial or complete paralysis. The long-term costs are staggering: lifetime medical care, home modification, lost earning capacity, and round-the-clock assistance in severe cases.

What an experienced attorney fights for in a spinal cord case:

① All current and future medical expenses — surgeries, rehabilitation, ongoing care
② Lost wages and permanent loss of earning capacity
③ Home and vehicle modifications required by the disability
④ Costs of in-home care or assisted living
⑤ Pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life

Why case value matters so much here:
Insurance companies work hard to lowball spinal cord settlements — offering lump sums that sound large but fall far short of lifetime needs. An attorney who works with life care planners and economic experts can build a damage model that truly reflects what your life — and your family's life — now requires.
