About Our Clients

We’ve been helping our clients with injury, accident, medical malpractice and product liability cases from our West Palm Beach location for more than 35 years, but the firm’s history dates back even further. Founding partners Lake Lytal, Jr. and Joe Reiter have been practicing together in Florida since 1968. Many of our attorneys are native Floridians and we are proud of our strong ties to the community, as well as our national reputation as a top personal injury law firm.

Because we have established a strong reputation and work diligently to please each and every client, we receive most of our new clients through referrals from past clients and other attorneys. We accept referrals throughout Florida and the United States.
