Claire Hancock has practiced law for 20 years and has successfully litigated complex cases involving medical malpractice, wrongful death and defective products, numerous automobile accidents and slip-and-fall injury cases.

Our Client-Centered Approach
We know every client on a first-name basis — and our clients know us. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We will answer your questions, make recommendations and provide you with a free, confidential evaluation of your automobile accident claim, all without obligation to use our legal services.
- We believe in protecting our community. We make our community a safer place by holding negligent drivers and doctors accountable for the safety rules they break and the harms and losses they cause.
- We are compassionate and caring. When you contact Hancock Law Firm, P.A., about your personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice or insurance claim, Mike Hancock or Claire Hancock will personally speak with you on the phone or answer your questions by e-mail. After that, if you decide to proceed, you will personally meet with Mike or Claire to further discuss your claim. They will listen to your questions and take as much time as necessary to answer them all.
- We are smart. We know that we simply can't bully our way into results by shouting "we are aggressive" or "we are tenacious." Insurance companies and the attorneys they hire aren't impressed with such advertising or slogans. Investigation is important. Preparation is necessary. Strategy is critical. Experience counts. With more than 40 years of combined experience on both sides of personal injury claims, Mike Hancock and Claire Hancock know how to successfully achieve justice in your personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice and insurance claims.
- We are strong. Our record of success is known throughout Florida. Our opponents know who we are and take us seriously. They know that we go into every case with the goal of achieving justice and holding the negligent parties and their insurance companies accountable for the harms and losses they inflict, and achieving nothing less than full compensation for our clients.
