About the Firm
A Tampa firm that puts injured people first
Maddox & Reyes was founded on a simple idea: injured people deserve a lawyer who will fight as hard for them as the insurance companies fight against them.
Our Story
Built for clients, not insurance companies
Partners James Maddox and Elena Reyes both began their careers defending insurance companies and hospitals. They saw firsthand how the other side evaluates, undervalues, and fights injury claims, and they decided to use that knowledge for the people on the receiving end.
They built Maddox & Reyes as a different kind of firm: one where clients deal directly with their attorney, where cases are prepared as if they will go to trial, and where no one is ever just a file number. The firm takes every case on contingency, so families can get experienced representation without paying anything up front.
Today the firm represents drivers, riders, patients, and families across Tampa Bay, and has recovered over $85 million for injured Floridians.

Client Stories
In our clients' words
After my truck accident I couldn't work for months. James and his team handled everything and got me far more than the insurance company first offered.
Elena explained every step and treated my family with respect during the hardest time of our lives.
Marcus answered my calls personally and kept me updated the whole way. I never felt like just a case number.
Let's talk about what happened.
