Steve Watrel, P.A and his associates are in the business of fighting nursing home chains and are on a personal mission to eradicate elder neglect and abuse. As attorneys, we can’t undo what was done to your loved one, but we are here to help you get the justice your family deserves. What this means for you is the respect and recognition of your family member as an individual and restitution of the wrong that was done. Based on his 25+ years of fighting for elder rights in Jacksonville, Steve Watrel, P.A. has developed a proven approach to combatting nursing home abuse seen in the big chains and perpetuated by insurance companies. Steve’s legal process and expertise is widely heralded in law trade publications across the nation and other attorneys regularly seek his special counsel on these types of cases.
We are a law firm not a law factory. That means you receive all the power and resources you’d expect at a large firm, while working with a purposely smaller law firm to get the best possible representation. Unlike other firms, your case will not be handled by a junior attorney or a paralegal. Steve Watrel will personally represent you. We believe that gives our clients the best chance at the results they deserve.
Our firm was established in 1993 by attorney Steve Watrel, a former attorney at one of Jacksonville’s largest law firms. Steve wanted to bring the large firm experience to people who wanted a superior, senior-level attorney but didn’t want the large firm baggage.
