As the largest city and county seat of Alachua County, Gainesville is one of Florida’s most important cities.

It’s easy to see why. Gainesville is the home of the University of Florida — the state’s oldest and largest university — and many notable landmarks such as the Hippodrome State Theatre, the Florida Museum of Natural History, not to mention the countless lakes and parks prized by residents. No wonder Gainesville is considered the cultural, educational, and commercial center of north-central Florida.

Morgan & Morgan was founded with one goal in mind: to be for the people, not the powerful. Since we opened our first office in Orlando in 1988, we’ve stayed the course by fighting to protect vibrant cities throughout Florida like Gainesville, and the people who call them home.

As one of the nation’s largest plaintiff personal injury law firms, we can hold nearly any negligent person or company — regardless of size or personal wealth — accountable for their actions when they hurt others. Whether you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, hurt on the job, had your wages illegally withheld, or were the victim of some other form of negligence or improper activity, we may be able to help.

Meet Attorney Dan Vazquez, Head of the Gainesville Office

We employ many experienced attorneys who have recovered a number of significant verdicts and settlements on behalf of their clients, and our office in Gainesville is no exception. It’s led by the talented Dan Vazquez, who has been an advocate for the injured in Gainesville since 2010.

Mr. Vazquez handles a wide variety of personal injury and wrongful death cases, including burn and fire injuries, motor vehicle accidents, and premises liability matters, to name a few. He has successfully prosecuted cases both in Florida and across the country, including serving as lead counsel in Kellner v. David, a 5th District Court of Appeal opinion upholding his firm’s $3.5 million verdict, which was largest verdict in the history of Citrus County at the time.

For his civil trial work, Mr. Vazquez has been recognized by Florida Trend Legal Elite, who selected him for its “Up and Comer” award (2016 and 2015), and by Florida Super Lawyers for its “Rising Star” designation (2017, 2016, and 2015). Fewer than 2.5 percent of Florida attorneys receive either of these annual peer-review ratings.

Mr. Vazquez is a “double-gator,” earning both his undergraduate degree in history and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Florida. He remains connected with his alma mater today, serving as an Adjunct Law Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Mr. Vazquez lectures in various courses, including legal research, introduction to lawyering, and appellate advocacy.
