Grossman Attorneys at Law

What Grossman Attorneys at Law does

Grossman Attorneys at Law is a privately-held plaintiff law firm founded in 1986 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, operating under the legal entity Howard S. Grossman, P.A. The firm specializes in three core practice areas: admiralty and maritime law (including Jones Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, and cruise ship injury claims), Defense Base Act (DBA) claims for U.S. government contractors injured overseas, and serious personal injury and wrongful death litigation. Led by founding attorney Howard S. Grossman (35+ years of litigation experience), the firm is supported by attorneys Scott L. Thaler (DBA focus) and Callie J. Fixelle (DBA, maritime, and D.C. office lead), and has reportedly helped over 500 clients secure DBA benefits over its 38+ year history.

The firm operates from four offices: Boca Raton (headquarters), Clewiston, and Stuart in Florida, plus a satellite office opened in January 2024 in Washington, D.C.'s Navy Yard. It serves clients across the United States and internationally, supported by a multilingual website (English, Spanish, French, Russian, and Ukrainian) and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The firm does not develop proprietary technology products; its core 'technology' is specialized legal expertise, trial-readiness, and a proactive litigation style. The only notable web-based tool is a Defense Base Act Settlement Calculator.

Grossman Attorneys at Law generates revenue through professional legal services fees, primarily on a contingency basis. Medical malpractice cases are explicitly handled on a 'No Win No Fee' model, and other practice areas likely combine contingency fees with hourly or fixed-fee arrangements. Client acquisition is sales-led, driven by direct attorney consultations, free case evaluations, website contact forms, phone inquiries, and referrals. The firm targets three primary customer segments: U.S. government contractors (DBA), maritime workers, and personal injury/wrongful death victims. It is independently owned with no disclosed private equity backing, parent company, or external capital partners.

Revenue model

1. Legal Services Fees: Grossman Attorneys at Law generates revenue through legal fees for representing clients in personal injury, maritime, and Defense Base Act cases. For medical malpractice cases, the firm operates on a 'No Win No Fee' (contingency) basis, meaning clients pay no upfront costs and the firm receives a percentage of any settlement or judgment. Other practice areas likely involve combinations of contingency fees and potentially hourly or fixed-fee arrangements depending on case type.
