Pilka & Associates

What Pilka & Associates does

Pilka Adams & Reed, P.A., operating as Pilka & Associates, is a Florida professional association law firm founded in 1987 and headquartered in Brandon with additional offices in Tampa and Lakeland. The firm operates a full-service general practice across nine core areas: personal injury, estate planning and probate, real estate law, business law, HOA and community association law, worker's compensation, DUI defense, criminal defense, and mediation/alternative dispute resolution. Its seven-attorney roster is led by Managing Partner Daniel F. Pilka, a certified circuit civil mediator, and includes two additional partners (James Adams, J. Scott Reed), two associates, and two of-counsel attorneys, supported by 11-50 total staff. The firm serves individuals, families, small-to-mid-size businesses, and homeowners/condominium associations throughout Polk and Hillsborough Counties and central/west Florida.

The firm runs on conventional legal-practice technology: a FindLaw-powered website and marketing platform, a ReadyCollect HOA client portal for community association clients, and standard office tools. There are no proprietary software products, APIs, or technology platforms. Core legal work product (case files, pleadings, title documents) is produced through traditional attorney labor augmented by off-the-shelf productivity software.

The revenue model is a mix of fee structures tied to each practice area: contingency fees (33 1/3% pre-suit, 40% post-Answer) for personal injury; statutory worker's compensation fees (20/15/10 formula); flat-fee estate planning packages (~$750 for a basic will package); and hourly billing for HOA, civil litigation ($350/hr), and standard attorney services ($275/hr). Title insurance commissions flow through authorized agent relationships with Old Republic National Title Company and Attorneys' Title Fund Services, LLC. Marketing is sales-led: phone, website contact forms, and free in-person consultations at the three offices, supplemented by SEO, blog content, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The firm holds a BBB A+ rating, Martindale-Hubbell BV peer review rating, and a Lakeland Chamber Small Business of the Month recognition, and is privately held with no external investment.
