Serving accident victims across Glades County
Glades County’s rural highways carry fast traffic and heavy agricultural loads. Serious crashes happen on U.S. 27 skirting Lake Okeechobee, on State Road 78 through Buckhead Ridge and Ortona, and on State Road 29 toward Palmdale — two-lane roads where sugarcane trucks, semis, and passenger cars meet at highway speed, often far from the nearest trauma center. That distance makes serious injuries even more serious.
Moore Haven is the county seat, and injury cases for Glades County residents are generally pursued there — Glades County sits in Florida’s Twentieth Judicial Circuit, the same circuit as our home county of Collier. These are courthouses our firm knows.

Glades County injury FAQ
I was hit by a farm truck on U.S. 27. Is that different from a car crash?
Often, yes — commercial and agricultural vehicles can involve company insurers and regulations that change the case. It’s worth a free call before you talk to any adjuster.
Will a lawyer really take a case out here?
We do. Glades County is our neighbor, its courthouse sits in our home judicial circuit, and we take cases other firms pass over.
What will it cost me?
The first conversation is free, and injury cases are typically handled on a contingency basis — we explain exactly how that works before you decide anything.
