Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Morgan Dramis, P.A. is a personal injury and construction law firm with proven results, client satisfaction, and trial experience.

At the Morgan Dramis P. A., we do not rely on a high volume of cases. We do not claim to handle every type of law under the sun. We do not want to. We do not need to.

Each year we accept only a limited number of serious injury, accident and disability cases from the hundreds of people who ask us to represent them. We are not a “TV advertising personal injury mill”. Paralegals and assistants do not negotiate our cases with the insurance company. Fewer cases mean that we have more time to devote to you and we believe will produce better results overall.

At Morgan Dramis P. A. we will aggressively represent you, always keep you up to date on what is happening in your case and give you our advice as to whether you should settle your case or go to trial.

We will fully explain all fees and costs to you before we start working on your case. Together, as a team, we will decide on the best method for your case to obtain the best possible result.

Morgan Dramis P. A. serves public owners, private owners, surety companies, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, architects and engineers by offering the legal services needed during all phases of development, design and construction.
