Firm Details

Spetsas Buist Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers is an Orlando, Florida trial firm built to handle the catastrophic-injury and wrongful death cases where clients need personal and focused attention. Founded by trial attorneys Nicholas Spetsas and Charles Buist, the firm represents seriously injured victims and grieving families in high-stakes litigation against some of the most powerful defendants in Central Florida, including Universal Studios, Walt Disney World, national trucking companies, Amazon delivery contractors, apartment complex owners and property managers, mental health facilities, and commercial property owners whose inadequate security enables violent crime.

Spetsas Buist Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers is the Florida affiliate of Trial Lawyers for Justice, the national trial group led by renowned trial lawyer Nicholas Rowley. That affiliation gives the firm's clients access to unique courtroom trial resources, consulting experts, and co-counsel relationships.

We're not a high-volume "settlement mill" practice that pushes clients toward fast, low-value resolutions. Spetsas Buist is structured around personal attorney attention and courtroom readiness. Every case the firm accepts is personally handled by a lawyer from intake through resolution. Clients are not handed off to case managers or paralegals. The firm's core practice areas include Negligent security cases, Theme park and amusement park injury cases, Commercial vehicle and trucking collisions, Wrongful death claims, Mental health facility and treatment center negligence, and Premises liability.

Spetsas Buist Personal Injury & Car Accident Lawyers serves clients throughout Orlando, Orange County, Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, Volusia County, and all of Central Florida, and accepts qualifying catastrophic-injury and wrongful death cases statewide. The firm works on a pure contingency-fee basis. Clients pay no attorney's fees and no costs unless the firm recovers money on their behalf.
