Needle & Ellenberg, P.A.

What Needle & Ellenberg, P.A. does

Needle & Ellenberg, P.A. is a Florida-based plaintiffs' law firm founded in 1988 that represents injured individuals and families in personal injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death matters on a contingency-fee basis — clients pay nothing unless the firm recovers compensation. The firm is led by two founding partners, Andrew Needle (practicing since 1977, Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer by The Florida Bar) and Andrew Ellenberg (practicing since 1988), with stated combined experience ranging from 70 to 80+ years across the firm's own pages. Its published case results include a $12.8M catastrophic injury verdict, $8.6M premises liability and car crash recovery, $8.5M medical malpractice recovery, $8.4M medical malpractice recovery, $7.75M brain injury recovery, and several additional results above $5M; Andrew Ellenberg's profile states he has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of clients. The firm targets defendants across Florida's largest healthcare systems and corporate medical groups, including HCA, Cleveland Clinic Florida, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Baptist Health South Florida, Adventist Health System, BayCare, Orlando Health, Ascension Health, TeamHealth, Envision Healthcare, and Millennium Physician Group.

The firm's service portfolio is organized as a set of practice-area modules rather than a unified technology product — covering anesthesia injuries, birth injuries, cancer misdiagnosis, HMO malpractice, medication errors, medical provider negligence, misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and personal injury sub-practices such as car, truck, motorcycle, brain injury, spinal cord injury, aviation, boating, railroad, construction, distracted driving, negligent security, product liability, and elder/nursing home abuse. There is no proprietary software platform, no API, and no AI tooling described in the source material; the underlying technology of the firm is its credentialing, case-precedent library, and digital presence (website with location-specific SEO pages, educational blog, videos, and podcast content).

The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: prospective clients contact the firm through its main phone line (305-530-0000), toll-free number (877-810-2864), or an online intake form; the firm offers free confidential case evaluations and operates a bilingual (English/Spanish) intake with a dedicated Spanish-language site section. The firm maintains four physical offices in Florida — Miami (headquarters, 3350 Mary St.), Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Orlando — with the latter three by appointment, while serving clients statewide across cities including Boca Raton, Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Miami Beach, St. Petersburg, and West Palm Beach. Marketing channels combine organic search, content marketing (blog, videos, podcast), client reviews/testimonials, and word-of-mouth referrals; contingency fees align the firm's economics with client outcomes and remove upfront cost as a barrier to access for injured Floridians.

Revenue model

1. Contingency Fee Legal Services: The firm operates on a contingency fee model for personal injury and medical malpractice cases. Clients pay no upfront fees or costs. The firm recovers a percentage of the settlement, verdict, or award only if the case results in a recovery. This aligns the firm's financial interest with the client's outcome and reduces barriers to access for injured Floridians seeking legal representation.
