What Trial Pro does

Trial Pro, P.A. is a privately held Florida personal injury law firm founded in 2001 by Piercy Stakelum and headquartered in Orlando. It represents injured Floridians and their families across a defined set of practice areas — car accident, motorcycle, truck accident, slip and fall, construction accident, cruise ship, workers' compensation, insurance dispute, premises liability, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and broken bone — operating exclusively in Florida state and federal courts. The firm is structured as a 'boutique' practice with senior attorneys (Stakelum, Brian Davis, Tyler Nicoll) personally handling cases rather than delegating to paralegals, supported by a Managing Director (Mellissa Anne Waters, since 2020) running operations and HR. Five physical offices (Orlando HQ, Tampa, Naples, Fort Myers, Melbourne) anchor a statewide service footprint, with on-location consultations at client homes, hospitals, and workplaces.

The firm's revenue model is contingency-fee only — its 'Zero Fee Guarantee' means clients pay nothing unless the firm wins — with the firm taking a percentage of settlements and jury verdicts. There is no subscription, hourly, or retainer pricing published. Customer acquisition is anchored on a hyper-local SEO architecture with hundreds of Florida city/neighborhood landing pages per practice area, a 24/7 phone hotline ((407) 300-0000), a free online case review form, and bilingual (English/Spanish) conversion paths; community programs (an annual $5,000 Discover The Difference scholarship, Kick Off for Kids, Salvation Army Angel Tree) generate earned media and local goodwill that feed the inbound funnel. The disclosed technology stack is described generically as 'latest technology and up-to-date software' for case management and client communication — no specific platforms, APIs, AI/ML systems, or proprietary tools are named.

Trial Pro does not disclose firm-level revenue; publicly cited metrics are client-side (hundreds of millions of dollars recovered cumulatively since 2001, thousands of clients served, largest single verdict $6.5M in a Trucking and Motorcycle Crash case). The firm has no disclosed outside investors, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, no funding rounds, and no public financial filings — it operates as a founder-led, privately held Florida Professional Association with 101–250 employees.

Revenue model

1. Contingency fee on settlements and verdicts: Primary revenue stream. Personal injury representation is offered on a contingency-fee basis ('Zero Fee Guarantee — You pay nothing unless we win'). The firm earns a percentage of settlements and jury verdicts; large verdicts range up to $6.5M (Trucking and Motorcycle Crash), with cumulative recoveries in the hundreds of millions of dollars since founding in 2001.
2. Charitable donations tied to verdicts: A portion of every jury verdict is donated to the Trial Pro scholarship fund and to local charities in the venue where the case is tried — an outflow rather than a revenue stream, but a structural feature of the contingency model.
