Our Orlando personal injury firm goes to great lengths to protect the interests of our clients who have already suffered from the negligence of others. The same professional integrity is true of the many law firms who refer personal injury cases to us.

There is a delicate balance between protecting the interests of clients and ensuring due process for lawyers accused of wrongdoing. The Florida Bar achieves this balance better than almost any other organization of its kind and is recognized nationally for its disciplinary program and client compensation fund.

I applaud the Orlando Sentinel for its editorial in support of preventing homelessness by funding the recommendations of the Central Florida Regional Commission on Homelessness. I served as a member of this commission. Yes, its 10-year plan is ambitious, but absolutely achievable with the combined will and resources of our community, political and civic sectors.

Until the work of the Commission on Homelessness bears fruit, I encourage others to join me and my firm in supporting the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida. For two decades, this organization has worked to end homelessness in our community by offering comprehensive case management programs to help the homeless become self-sufficient. Last year alone, the Coalition served more than 300,000 meals and provided over 227,000 nights of shelter to homeless individuals.
