The Rocha firm represented a truck driver / auto transporter arrested at 4:00 am and found in possession of 70 kilos of cocaine at a local tow company. The driver had no prior record. The case involved 26 co-defendants and stretched from Mexico, Miami, Ft. Myers and Tampa. Through our investigation and a vigorous defense the case was resolved in January 2010. The defendant was sentenced to 15 years probation instead of a 60-year prison term.

In a recent case, a Bolivian born trucker was starting an early morning trip on a dark,foggy county road. As he rounded a bend in the road, another trucker hit him head on. Apparently, the other trucker fell asleep at the wheel. My client was trapped in the cab of his truck for more than 30 minutes. While trapped , engine oil burned 70% of his body as it leaked into the cab. After multiple successful skin grafts, my client was able to resume a normal lifestyle. By assembling a trucking safety specialist, an accident reconstruction expert, and an economist, our firm was able to negotiate a seven figure settlement with the at fault trucking company.

In our continuing effort to better serve our client’s legal needs we are proud to offer representation in all Immigration matters. These include:

During the past 32 years, I have often found that clients injured through the negligence of others, become disabled. As a compliment to the personal injury clients, our firm now handles Social Security Disability claims for those clients who qualify. We already possess the medical documentation (from the injury case) necessary to support a claim for Social Security Disability. Therefore, if you have had difficulty finding or keeping a job due to a physical or mental disability, contact us today for a free evaluation.
