Client Reviews of Our St. Petersburg Personal Injury Lawyer
Real stories from real people John R. Mathias has represented across the Tampa Bay area.
Each review comes from a client who trusted our injury law firm during a difficult time.
Decades of Trust Built One Case at a Time
Attorney John R. Mathias has served as a board certified personal injury lawyer since 2006, and that reputation was not built through advertising alone. It was built by showing up for clients from St. Petersburg to Tampa, Clearwater, Pinellas Park, Largo, Seminole, and Gulfport, one case at a time, and treating each one with the same focus he would give his own family.
Clients who hire an experienced personal injury attorney are often navigating the worst experience of their lives: a serious car accident, a devastating motorcycle crash, a dog bite that left a child scarred, or the loss of a loved one in a fatal accident. They come to us looking for someone who will return their calls, explain their options honestly, and fight as hard in a courtroom as at the negotiating table.
The reviews below reflect that approach. They come from car accident lawyer clients, truck accident attorney clients, slip and fall lawyer clients, and families who trusted us with wrongful death claims, among many others. Their words say more about how we practice law than anything we could write ourselves.


Reviews From Injured Clients Across Tampa Bay
Hi, I’m Jeri.I wanted to leave a review but I have to use my daughter’s account. John was a great attorney that always gave 100% !
I highly recommend John if you are in search of an attorney. I felt overwhelmed by the whole process and was unsure of what to do next. Thankfully, John stepped in and took care of everything. He helped me through the legal process with compassion and professionalism, always keeping me informed and fighting hard on my behalf. I'm truly grateful for his help and would not hesitate to recommend him to friends or family in a similar situation.
The Law Offices of John R. Mathias, I highly recommend!!! John & his team have been an asset to my family for well over the past 13 years. He's detail oriented, quick to respond & not to mention, I didn't have to wait 2 years to get compensated! Several years back, I had 2 incidents happen, beyond my control, John & his team handled both cases for me, I trust this firm whole heartedly, so if you're looking for a firm you can trust, look no further, they will work for you & you will win‼️
10 stars – Highly Recommended I hired Attorney Mathias after having the misfortune of being involved in three car wrecks caused by negligent drivers, and I couldn’t be more grateful and satisfied with the guidance and representation I received. Attorney Mathias is not only an experienced personal injury attorney with over 30 years of experience but also a Certified Civil Trial Specialist for over 20 years. This makes him an expert in not only settling but also taking cases to trial. From the very first consultation, he impressed me with his knowledge of personal injury law, auto and health insurance matters, and took the time to explain the entire legal process in great detail every step of the way. Throughout the entire 5 year process, he kept me informed, counseled me every step and was very attentive and always quick to personally answer any questions I had. As a Certified Civil Trial Attorney, he brought a level of courtroom readiness that most lawyers simply don’t have. Even though my case settled before trial, I know the other side took us seriously because of his credentials and reputation. He handled all of the negotiations with the insurance companies, medical providers, opposing attorneys and fought to make sure I received the compensation I deserved to cover my medical bills, lost wages and more. I never felt like “just another case”. He truly cared. He is a good man. If you are looking for an experienced, professional, confident attorney with integrity, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Mathias and his staff.
I have used John twice with great results both times. He and his staff are very cordial and professional and make you feel comfortable and relaxed. When I had questions they were quick to get back to me with the answers. I will not hesitate to recommend Mr Mathias to anyone looking for and attorney.
Excellent attorney, considered about my matters and available when you need to contact him.
My experience with John was exceptional! From the moment of contact through the process of assisting me in my case. He was very thorough in explaining what my rights were in my accident and I felt very comfortable until settlement. He took the worry away while I was recovering. I will refer him to anyone who needs a P.A attorney from now on. Thanks John!
