Senior Trial Attorney

Brett J. Yonon

Selected to Florida Super Lawyers in 2024 and 2025. Brett Yonon is who this firm puts on a catastrophic injury or a death in the family, and he has tried those cases to verdict.

His numbers are jury verdicts rather than negotiated ones: $3,500,000 in a funeral home negligence case, $2,000,000 against a landlord, and $1,387,060.58 in Broward County as lead counsel on a propane explosion. Insurers keep records of which firms in a county actually pick a jury, and a claim gets priced against that record long before anybody says a number out loud.

He has practiced in Florida for nearly two decades and has done it from both sides. He represented defendants and insurers before moving his practice to injured people exclusively, which means he knows how the other side prices a file, what they are told to look for, and which arguments they are trained to make first.

He was born and raised in South Florida and has practiced here his whole career. In law school he served as a Guardian Ad Litem in Florida’s Seventeenth Judicial Circuit and took part in the Georgetown University Street Law Program. He lives in Boca Raton with his wife, Elise, and their three children.

The firm’s catastrophic injury, wrongful death, trucking and funeral home negligence cases are the ones that come to him. He will not give you a number he cannot stand behind, and you are told where the case stands as it moves rather than having to chase him for it.
