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

Attorney Cavonis listened intently to my circumstances, in asking me questions confirmed his understanding of my problem and advised me in language that I could understand. I felt at all times as if I were his only client. He was patient and unhurried even though it was late in the day. I left confident in my course of action and slept better than I have for many days.

I am so happy we chose Paul for my injury case. The entire team was wonderful to work with. Monica, Jennifer and Peggy were meticulous, responsive and highly skilled. Paul's manner was always calm and professional. He never hesitated to take the time to answer my questions. I knew from the start that he had my best interest at heart, and that he would have gone the distance if needed. Paul is very respectful of everyone we worked with; opposing counsel, mediators, his staff and of course, me.

We highly recommend Paul Cavonis to anyone who needs advice, clarification or any other support regarding a legal matter. Our family needed legal consultation and Paul's office was responsive to set up a time to meet. The meeting was highly effective as we were able to have all of our concerns addressed, clarified and now have a full understanding for the next course of action. Thanks to Paul and his ability to communicate complex topics with ease our family is better educated and informed.

A close friend recommended this attorney to me and I was not disappointed. He and his staff were so completely reachable and teachable as my case moved along. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who was looking for an expert attorney. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to work with this firm and to know that I can reach out to them in the future for guidance and care. #NK

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
