MIAMI PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER
Spencer Aronfeld has successfully represented injured people and their families in accident cases against cruise lines such as Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Holland America and Disney since 1991. His powerful courtroom victories include verdicts over Walt Disney World, Wild Oats, P.A.C. Construction, Fedan Tire, and Todel Apartments and he earned an international recognition as a lawyer for the people.
“The practice of personal injury law is my calling. I represent injured clients who not only seek compensation but more importantly, justice. Each case is an opportunity for me to help another human being and it’s important that my clients receive the care and attention they need. Many of my clients face dangerous situations or suffer from life-threatening injuries. My job is to make sure that justice is served so that the dangers that my clients face do not happen to someone else,” says Spencer Aronfeld.
