What makes us the best personal injury law firm in Gainesville?
In 1980, Jack Fine founded the firm now known as Fine, Farkash & Parlapiano, P.A. Our firm is located in the Historic Downtown area of Gainesville, Florida. With over 100 years of combined legal experience, we are a plaintiffs’ firm providing individualized service to people injured by the negligence of others in motor vehicle accidents, premises liability cases, products liability cases and other personal injury matters.
We believe our smaller size ensures our clients will receive personal care. We strive to offer the best possible representation combined with compassion and respect. Our law firm is also widely known for community giving and volunteer work. Comprised of seven award-winning lawyers and Gator alumni, our firm includes five to eight legal assistants and paralegals, and three to five legal clerks and administrative personnel.
