Many clients have contacted her specifically because they couldn't reach attorneys at other firms - a problem that never occurs with Willis's hands-on approach.Collaborative Team AdvantageWillis handles every case as co-counsel with carefully selected Florida attorneys, meaning clients receive a team of experienced lawyers for the same price as one. This collaborative approach ensures clients benefit from diverse expertise and enhanced strategic thinking on every car accident and medical malpractice case.Personal ValuesWillis's work ethic stems from her challenging childhood, raised by grandparents in Winter Garden, Florida. Her grandfather's work as an orange grove foreman taught her the value of hard work and determination - qualities that drive her fierce advocacy for clients today. She understands that behind every case is a real person facing real challenges, often during the most difficult time in their lives.When not practicing law, Willis enjoys distance running, cycling, and camping throughout Central Florida with her husband, who operates a successful local Orlando business.
