What Donaldson & Weston does

Donaldson & Weston (operating as Weston & Pape) is a Florida-based personal injury law firm founded in 2012, headquartered in Stuart with a second office in Sunrise (Broward County). The firm represents individual injury victims — including car, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, slip-and-fall, premises liability, wrongful death, and loss-of-value claimants — on a contingency fee basis with no upfront costs to clients and free initial consultations. Service is delivered exclusively through direct attorney-to-client engagement: founding partner Dante Weston handles cases from the Stuart office and managing partner John Pape (25+ years of Broward County experience) handles cases from the Sunrise office, with both partners personally involved from first consultation through resolution rather than delegating to support staff.

The firm has built out a 16-person team of paralegals, case managers, legal assistants, a notary, and a dedicated Referral and Marketing Specialist to support its deliberately limited caseload model. On the technology side, the firm describes itself as one of the first in its market to integrate AI tools into legal intake, case management, and business operations, framing the investment as a way to accelerate documentation and free attorney time for case-critical work. Marketing is content- and community-led: local-SEO-optimized service pages and blog content targeting Florida sub-markets (Port St Lucie, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, Jensen Beach, North Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, Tamarac, Lauderhill, Pompano Beach, Palm City, etc.), an active six-platform organic social presence, Google 5-star review prominence, and a referral network anchored in deep local roots in Martin County and Broward County.

Cumulative client outcomes cited on the firm website include over $100 million recovered for clients, more than 10,000 clients served, and 150+ jury trials conducted. Revenue is generated entirely as a contingency percentage of settlements and verdicts; no revenue figure is publicly disclosed and the firm operates without external funding, parent company, or institutional investors. Practice is restricted to the state of Florida.

Direct peers

• Morgan & Morgan: The largest plaintiff-side personal injury firm in Florida, operating a high-volume, billboard-driven model with statewide coverage.

• Kelley Uustal Trial Lawyers: Fort Lauderdale-based plaintiff trial firm specializing in personal injury and wrongful death cases with strong trial credentials. Comparable on Florida geography, plaintiff-side focus, contingency model, and emphasis on trial-ready representation.
• Steinger, Greene & Feiner: Florida-based personal injury firm with offices across the state handling auto, slip and fall, and premises liability cases on contingency. Directly comparable practice mix, Florida footprint, and contingency-fee business model; differs by operating a higher-volume intake machine.
