Why choose Stratigakos Law

Plenty of firms advertise big verdicts. Fewer explain how they actually work with clients day to day. After a serious injury, many people discover that the attorney they thought they hired isn't the person actually handling their case, with communication instead flowing through assistants and case managers at a large firm. At Stratigakos Law, every client works directly with the attorney handling their case, receives an honest assessment of where their claim stands, and has their matter prepared as though it may proceed to trial — whether or not it ultimately does.

“Every client deserves to be treated as a person, not a file.”

What Sets Stratigakos Law Apart

You work with Attorney Helen Stratigakos from your first consultation through resolution — not an assistant, not a rotating support team. She has practiced law in Florida since 1991 and founded Stratigakos Law in 1996 specifically to keep that relationship personal.

Stratigakos Law handles personal injury and medical malpractice matters on a contingency-fee basis. There's no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered, and initial consultations are free, so cost is never a barrier to finding out where you stand.

Most cases settle, but every case is prepared as though it may proceed to trial. That posture is intended to strengthen negotiating leverage and to make sure clients aren't at a disadvantage if a fair settlement isn't offered.

Helen is a proud Greek-American who speaks fluent Greek and is glad to work with Greek-speaking clients directly. The firm also takes on select pro bono matters and stays involved with Tampa Bay community organizations.
