Our Values

The attorneys at Haliczer Pettis & Schwamm have learned through experience that meeting the needs of their clients requires departing from the rigid structures employed by most law firms. It is with this in mind that the firm has a uniquely flexible structure and remains committed to these values:

  • Affordability

    The firm’s success is built in part on providing clients with representation every bit as aggressive and effective as the mega-firms – at affordable prices. Smart individual, corporate and governmental clients alike are eschewing mega-firms with high fees and retainers and choosing Haliczer Pettis & Schwamm because it offers the same, and often better and more personalized, results at a fraction of the cost.

  • Diversity

    Haliczer Pettis & Schwamm is absolutely committed to promote diversity both within the firm and the community at large, providing clients with litigation teams that reflect Florida’s unique cultural and ethnic makeup.

  • Collaboration

    The firm leverages the collective expertise of its attorneys, in-house medical paralegals and extensive network of experts to serve clients ranging from individuals to Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 corporations. Its attorneys assign every case to experienced legal counsel and support staff, drawing as needed on teams of expert witnesses in virtually every field with whom they have developed close working relationships. The firm also utilizes its skilled in-house registered nurse paralegals to evaluate cases requiring medical expertise. This collaboration and integrated approach ensure the firm’s clients receive personal communication, accountability and effective representation.

  • Analysis and Research

    The firm’s attorneys thoroughly research the law and analyze the facts extensively for the preparation of every case. They provide every client with an early case analysis along with advice on likely issues, risks and probable outcomes. Its attorneys work closely with clients to develop litigation strategies designed to achieve their clients’ goals effectively. The firm’s attorneys know that success is based on preparation, and they do not attend any hearing, conference or trial without it.

  • Client Advocacy

    The firm’s attorneys are aggressive trial lawyers who move cases to resolution whether through trial, settlement or alternative resolution. They understand how to work within the justice system and use its rules and procedures to their clients’ best advantage. The attorneys’ experience, tough-minded approach and reputations often enable them to assist clients in negotiating settlements without the necessity of expensive, time-consuming trials. The firm’s attorneys, however, never lose sight of the courtroom and do not shy from it when it is in their clients’ best interest.
