About Paul R. Cavonis

Helping people is what I enjoy most about being a lawyer. I began practicing law after earning a Juris Doctorate, with honors, from Stetson University College of Law in 1994. I received my bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of South Florida. I am a native of Long Island, New York.

I am the firm's trial attorney. I represent clients who have been injured, and the families of those who have been killed, due to the fault of another. I have had the privilege of representing thousands of clients throughout Florida since 1994. I never represent insurance companies.

I am a member in good standing of the Florida Bar, the Clearwater Bar Association, American Association for Justice and the Florida Justice Association. In addition to being admitted to practice in state court throughout Florida, I am also admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida

Working with Mr. Cavonis and his team was a great experience. I appreciated the level of detail that was provided throughout the entire process. That eased my mind during a stressful time and helped me understand what to expect next. The videos that Mr. Cavonis put together walking through every aspect of the case helped me feel prepared and well-informed as the case progressed. Everyone on the team was kind, helpful and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend Mr. Cavonis to anyone seeking a lawyer to represent them for an automobile accident! #TJ

Paul and his team were very effective representing my interests and winning a very large personal injury case.The detailed information provided from the initial consultation through the settlement, gave me confidence in who was handling my situation and that a positive resolution would be reached. Through emails, text messages, and phone calls I was consistently updated on progress and asked about my input. Without a doubt I would recommend Paul and the DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis team, and would not hesitate in using them again. Excellent Legal Professionals! ~ HG Very knowledgable and helpful. I highly recommend Paul Cavonis! ~HG

I work quite far from my home and have a small child so when I got into my very first car accident this was important that I had a lawyer and team that was willing to make this experience as painless as possible. Any appointments were made near my office or home. If I ever had any questions at all the team was very responsive, some cases are not able to be resolved quickly and that's okay but there is a trust involved that is priceless, I knew they had my best interest at heart and were not looking just to settle to get a paycheck.. This was very apparent through the entire process. Paul was also very confident and I knew If I needed to go to trial we would be okay. We ended up not needing to go so that was even better. If I ever need a Personal Injury lawyer again, I will be sure to call to call them.

I was recommended to Mr. Cavonis by a friend of mine and I am so glad I listened. I was consistently informed of updates, given great advice, felt true compassion from the whole team, and really just had an all around wonderful experience, despite the not so wonderful circumstance. I felt supported and heard and I would recommend them to anyone and would absolutely use them again if, God forbid, I needed to. #AK

While my case seemed to take longer than I expected, due to my lack of knowledge of the process, It was because of the work that needed to be done. They explained everything, every step of the way. The people at the firm that handled me and my case, they know who they are, were Fantastic. I hope not ever to have to go through this again, but I know what firm I am going to use if needed. #BN

Attorney Cavonis and the entire support staff have been very attentive to my case and concerns. All are just a phone call, e-mail or as necessary-an appointment away. Attorney Cavonis makes sure clients are informed and know what to expect throughout the case with easy to understand videos and personal consultation. I really appreciate the “family feeling”, yet very professional office atmosphere. Would I recommend DeLoach, Hofstra+Cavonis, PA? Absolutely!

Being fairly new to Florida, I was not sure where to start in finding an attorney who would handle our case the way we needed when my wife and I were hit by a car that came crashing through a restaurant we were in. A friend of mine suggested Paul Cavonis, and he was the perfect match! From the moment we spoke with Monica and Jennie, to the consultation with Paul, we were impressed with the compassion and integrity of this firm. Every interaction was like speaking to a trusted friend. We never once had to worry about bills, insurance, or medical billing companies. All we had to "worry" about was healing. I can't tell you how important that is! Stress is one of the biggest barriers to healing and when a large majority of that stress can be lifted off of you, then you have the unique ability to heal your mind, body and spirit without the financial strain an accident can place on you. Simply put: Go with Paul!
