What Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Prather, Littky-Rubin & Whitman does

Clark, Fountain, La Vista, Prather, Littky-Rubin & Whitman is a Florida-based plaintiff personal injury law firm headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens. Founded in 1982 and operating for over 40 years, the firm specializes in representing accident victims and injured plaintiffs throughout Florida and across 26+ U.S. states on a pure 100% contingency fee basis. Under this model, clients pay no fees or case costs unless the firm wins, with fees collected as a percentage of the final settlement or verdict — aligning firm economics with client outcomes and removing financial barriers for plaintiffs who might otherwise be unable to fund litigation.

The firm's practice spans personal injury (automobile, motorcycle, truck, ATV, bike, pedestrian, premises liability), defective products litigation (tire defects, vehicle fires, seatbelt failures, airbag defects, vehicle rollovers, boat defects), medical malpractice, wrongful death, and an in-house appellate litigation division. The team — with 200+ years of combined legal experience — includes multiple Florida Bar board-certified attorneys; Managing Partner Mark W. Clark has personally secured over 150 million-dollar verdicts and settlements, and the firm has recovered over $1 billion for clients cumulatively. Notable results include a $200 million jury verdict against Malibu Boats in 2021 (the largest verdict in Rabun County, Georgia history) and a $100 million settlement from the same defendant in 2023.

The firm's go-to-market combines direct client intake (24/7 phone, website consultations, Spanish-language service), an extensive attorney referral and co-counsel network that paid out $20M+ to referring lawyers in 2023-2024, and content marketing through two newsletters — "The Week in Torts" (27+ consecutive years, authored by Appellate Partner Julie Littky-Rubin) and "Legal Edge E-Newsletter." The firm maintains active recognition in Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, Chambers Spotlight, ABOTA, and Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent, and engages in community outreach through scholarships and foundations. No external institutional investment, private equity backing, or parent company ownership has been disclosed.
