In 1992, the Coral Gables-based law firm of Patino & Associates opened its doors with a dream, a handful of clients, and an unrelenting drive to succeed in the area of personal injury law. That drive has turned the dream into a reality. We have seen the firm grow from a modest one man operation to a 20 employee fine-tuned personal injury law firm capable of handling the largest and the smallest personal injury and product liability cases, while competing with any other firm in its field.

Patino & Associates has achieved a reputation as a leading national personal injury litigation boutique. Amid the expansion, our interest, and indeed, our passion, has always remained the same…excellence in trial work.

Our philosophy is to treat each client as if they are our only client. Our personal attention to detail and painstaking legal work have resulted in victories for many of our clients in a wide range of personal injury and product liability matters.

The quality of our work has earned us a national reputation on landmark cases, with verdicts measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars cumulatively.

Mission Statement and Vision

Winning each case is the paramount objective during every phase of trial preparation. Our team’s extensive knowledge and courtroom experience, combined with its solid legal and community relationships, is designed to deliver the level of expertise and performance required in today’s complicated judicial arena. We are committed to providing our best possible legal services, and pursuing the best possible verdict for our clients.

Patino & Associates is a personal injury litigation boutique. This makes us more mobile and versatile than larger firms, and allows us to adjust quickly in order to address the immediate problem at hand. Through the various specialty concentrations of our attorneys, the firm is able to offer its clients a broad range of legal services, using teamwork, exhaustive preparation, and creative thinking to pursue the best possible results for our clients.

Patino & Associates is an extremely powerful, well-organized law firm focused on both long-term, proactive strategies and the reactive representation that is required when a legal “emergency” arises. This duality is a valuable asset for high-profile clients who are vulnerable to “surprise attacks” and the exorbitant damage that are often sought in high-risk industries.

We strive to provide the expertise and resources of a large firm, while offering the personal service and attention more commonly associated with a small one. The firm is organized to handle both complex and routine matters with the same sensibility to cost-effective representation. The caliber of our attorneys and the breadth of our practice are illustrated by our results.

We Welcome Cases that Involve Challenging, Complex, or Untried Issues

While our past success is no guarantee of future performance, we do have a successful track record in litigating complex product liability cases. We welcome cases that are particularly challenging or complex. How these issues are resolved, whether by negotiation or litigation, will have a lasting impact on future litigants, and, indeed, on the law itself.

The Miami-area personal injury law firm of Patino & Associates prides itself on closely involving our clients in the tactical and strategic decisions that affect management and proper preparation of their case. Our hard work and commitment has brought us media recognition both nationally and in the South Florida legal community. We strive to continue serving our clients with a high level of dedication.

International Professionals Fluent in English and Spanish

In addition to an experienced team of partners and associate attorneys, the firm utilizes legal assistants where appropriate, including paralegals with specialized medical training. Because South Florida caters to the international community, communication with other cultures and in other languages is of paramount importance. For this reason, most of our attorneys and support staff are fluent in Spanish, although our firm is comprised of individuals from all over the country. This gives us the keen ability to serve a broad base of clients, both corporate and individual, both national and abroad.

Technical Resources

Patino & Associates continuously monitors legislative changes and court opinions through high-speed, online research tools.

In preparing for a trial, we create and utilize powerful visual effects whenever possible to fully communicate how, when, where and why an accident occurred. Important facts and details are better understood by the jury when they are presented through video, photographs, and computer animation. This is an important detail that many lawyers overlook. We have found can contribute to the successful outcome of a case.

We Accept Attorney Referrals

There is no greater compliment than a referral from a fellow attorney. Your confidence in our expertise will be honored with the best possible representation in the case.
