Firm Overview:

Hannon & Boyers, P.A. is a civil trial law firm, representing clients in personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, dangerous premises, defective product, and other serious injury cases. Firm partners James Hannon and Robert Boyers are recognized as top lawyers in their areas of practice by peers in the legal profession. Our personal injury lawyers frequently author papers and deliever presentations in the Miami, Florida area and around the nation on legal matters and trial techniques. We have litigated and tried numerous personal injury cases, achieving substantial damage awards for our injured clients.

At Hannon & Boyers, we believe that when corporate defendants, insurance companies or individuals injure people through negligent, reckless or other wrongful conduct, they should be held accountable for the harm that they cause. We have a responsibility on behalf of each of our clients and we do our best to live up to that responsibility each and every day. Clients come to us after having suffered personal injury or the loss of a loved one. Our clients want to learn and understand the legal issues surrounding their case, compensation that is fair, and justice.

Although one of our partners will be primarily responsible for a client’s case, our staff of highly trained lawyers, paralegals and investigators work as a team on any personal injury case that we handle. We purposely do not accept a large volume of cases in order to assure that each client and each case receives a superior degree of attention, focus and dedication.

We have the experience, ability and resources to level the playing field against any corporate defendant, insurance company or individual. Because we know that so much is at stake for our injured clients and because we take great pride in our work, we do everything in our power to give each of our personal injury client’s truly excellent and responsive legal representation.
