Hola, nosotros hablamos Español.
When we formed Leighton Panoff Law in Florida, one of our first priorities was to establish trust with our clients, and a large part of that requires excellent listening and oral communication skills. In Florida, both English and Spanish are spoken with roughly 21 percent of households speaking Spanish at home. That’s nearly 4 million Spanish speakers. As of the 2010 U.S, Census, Hispanics made up 27 percent of Florida’s population.
Not only is Florida made up of a large Spanish-speaking population, many of these residents require representation in personal injury, medical malpractice, and police brutality cases. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2018, Hispanic or Latino workers accounted for 31 percent of fatal occupational injuries, a 6 percent increase from 2017. In addition, traffic accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, COVID-19 infections, slip-and-fall injuries, medical malpractice, and other calamities affect Hispanics and Latinos across Florida.
As a Florida law firm specializing in personal injuries, it is our responsibility to speak the languages our clients speak. Being able to effectively communicate with our clients and their loved ones in their native tongues, whether in English or Spanish, is crucial to a successful outcome. That’s why Leighton Panoff Law is a fully bilingual law firm. We employ Spanish-speaking attorneys, paralegals, clerks, and receptionists to ensure you are comfortable with every interaction with us. We are adept at explaining legal concepts in terms you can understand.
We Don’t Just Speak Spanish, We Actively Serve the Hispanic / Latino Community
We are passionate about helping our Spanish-speaking clients get the relief they deserve. Our representation ensures that their voices are heard despite language barriers.

From the moment we formed the firm, establishing trust with our clients has been a top priority—and that starts with communication. Florida is home to nearly 4 million Spanish‑speaking households, and nearly 27 % of the population is Hispanic. To serve this vital community, we are a fully bilingual law firm, with Spanish‑speaking attorneys, paralegals, clerks, and receptionists so clients feel understood in their native language.
Spanish‑speaking Floridians face personal injury, medical malpractice, and police brutality just like any other community. In addition, Hispanic workers accounted for 31 % of fatal occupational injuries in 2018. To ensure their voices are not lost and their legal needs are met, we must communicate clearly, compassionately, and without barriers. That’s why language matters.
We don’t just speak Spanish—we listen, explain complex legal concepts simply, and build relationships where clients feel at home sharing their concerns. Effective advocacy requires understanding each client’s story deeply, and that’s only possible when communication is clear in either English or Spanish.
We represent Spanish‑speaking clients in a broad spectrum of personal injury cases, including motor vehicle accidents (such as truck, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes), medical malpractice, slip & fall, catastrophic workplace accidents, COVID‑19 exposure, and police misconduct. Our goal is to secure the compensation needed for long‑term recovery and accountability.
Having a board‑certified personal injury attorney with trial experience is essential—but being able to speak your language is just as vital. We take pride in providing high-level legal skill PLUS cultural empathy, ensuring each client gets both excellent legal strategy and a lawyer who truly understands their needs.
Through dedicated bilingual teams, culturally sensitive communication, and firm advocacy, we have successfully championed recovery for Spanish‑speaking clients. We actively serve this community in their native language, fighting for the justice they deserve while ensuring clarity, respect, and inclusion every step of the way.
Contact us today for a free, no‑obligation consultation — in English or Spanish.
