About Us
Tina Willis Law is an Orlando car accident lawyer and medical malpractice attorney firm serving Winter Park and all of Central Florida. Founded by Tina Willis — a former law professor, Order of the Coif honoree, and graduate who finished second in her law school class at Florida State University — the firm brings a level of academic and professional credentials that is genuinely rare among Orlando personal injury lawyers.
From our Orlando office, we handle all types of car accident cases throughout Central Florida, from moderate injuries to serious and catastrophic harm. Many Orlando-area accident victims assume they need a severe injury to hire a lawyer — that is not the case here. We accept any car accident case where insurance coverage may be available, and we prepare every single case for potential litigation from day one, regardless of initial injury severity. This matters because seemingly minor injuries frequently develop into serious conditions requiring surgery or long-term treatment, and early preparation is what separates maximum recovery from money left on the table. Whether your accident happened on I-4, the Florida Turnpike, International Drive, or any other Central Florida road, our Orlando car accident lawyers are ready to help.
Semi-truck and commercial vehicle accidents are another primary focus of our Orlando practice — and one that is deeply personal to Tina. Her mother survived a catastrophic semi-truck accident that killed her best friend and left her mother permanently disfigured and disabled. That experience shapes how seriously our Orlando truck accident lawyers approach every commercial vehicle case we handle. When a tractor-trailer, 18-wheeler, concrete truck, or other commercial vehicle causes a crash anywhere in Central Florida, trucking companies often have investigators and lawyers on the scene the same day — working immediately to control evidence and build their defense. We match that urgency, sending preservation letters within days and fighting to secure black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records before they can be altered, destroyed, or moved out of state. Federal trucking regulations, significantly higher insurance coverage, and multiple potentially responsible parties — including the trucking company, maintenance contractors, and cargo loaders — make these among the most complex cases we handle. Our track record of policy-limit and multi-million dollar results in commercial truck cases throughout Florida reflects that commitment.
Our Orlando medical malpractice practice is equally personal. Tina lost her grandmother – who raised her – to a preventable medication error. Her husband lost his father to a dermatologist who missed obvious melanoma until it was too late. Medical malpractice is not an abstraction at this firm. We focus on the most serious matters involving catastrophic permanent injuries or wrongful death at facilities like AdventHealth, Orlando Health, and other Central Florida hospitals and medical centers. Florida's malpractice laws are among the most restrictive in the country, requiring extensive expert review and investigation before a lawsuit can even be filed. We know firsthand what is at stake with any medical malpractice case. We also handle brain injuries, birth injuries, spinal cord injuries, wrongful death, and other serious personal injury cases, not only throughout Greater Orlando and Central Florida but statewide, including Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami, and all points between.
What truly sets our Orlando firm apart is a background no other local personal injury lawyer can replicate. Before representing injured clients, Tina worked at Lord Bissell & Brook — an AmLaw 100 firm — where her primary client was Lloyd's of London, one of the world's most recognized insurance institutions. Her role was overseeing defense attorneys handling serious injury claims on behalf of primary insurers, evaluating litigation strategy, and protecting higher policy layers on cases routinely valued in the multiple millions. She also taught Civil Procedure at Barry University School of Law in Orlando — the course that governs exactly how lawsuits move through the court system, how evidence is gathered, and how cases are won or lost. That combination of insider insurance knowledge and academic depth is something most Orlando personal injury lawyers simply cannot offer. Tina was named a 2023 Power Lawyer by the New York Times, is a member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 and the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and holds a perfect 10.0 Superb AVVO rating.
Our intentionally low Orlando caseload means every client works directly with an experienced attorney — never handed off to a case manager or overworked paralegal. We also use advanced neuroimaging technology, including Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Susceptibility Weighted Imaging, to identify traumatic brain injuries that standard MRI routinely misses — finding serious injuries that other firms and doctors overlook entirely, and that can dramatically change the value of a case.
We offer free consultations, handle all cases on a contingency fee basis, and are available seven days a week. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, harmed by medical malpractice, or seriously hurt in any accident in the Greater Orlando area or anywhere in Florida, contact our Orlando office today.
