A Legacy of Service: Three Generations of Florida Lawyers
The firms in Florida are “legal factories,” large and impersonal or experimental startups. LeavenLaw stands apart through trusted local legal representation services. Our Practice has deep roots in the county, going back to 1972 when the Honorable Charles Richard Leavengood established our firm with a simple yet unwavering goal: To offer the people of Pinellas County honest, quality legal representation.
You Aren’t Just a “Case Number” at a Billboard Law Firm. You’re Our Neighbor.
Today, under the leadership of Ian Richard Leavengood, that mission carries on into its third generation. We’ve grown up here. Therefore, we understand the nuances of local courts, the methods used by area insurance adjusters, and the dangers posed by streets like 66th Street North and Ulmerton Road. When you become our client for your personal injury case, you won’t simply hire an attorney. You’ve retained a family tradition of advocacy for your protection.
Why Choose LeavenLaw as Your Pinellas Park Personal Injury Attorney
Half a Century of History
We’ve spent 50 years deconstructing every tactic insurance companies use to minimize or deny legitimate claims.
Multi-Disciplinary Edge
Our lead attorney, Ian Leavengood, holds dually qualified status as both a lawyer and a CPA. This allows us to calculate the true financial impact of your injury—from lost future earnings to complex medical billing—with surgical precision.
Experience Small-Firm Attention With Big-Firm Results
We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients while maintaining a practice where we know you by your first name, ensuring you are never passed off to a junior paralegal.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Pinellas Park
Our headquarters serves as a comprehensive resource for those injured by negligence. An experienced Pinellas Park personal injury attorney ensures that every technical detail of your accident is scrutinized for your benefit. We manage a wide spectrum of claims, including:
Car Accidents
We fight to get your car fixed and your medical bills handled without the runaround. Our attorneys handle the heavy lifting of dealing with insurance companies so you can focus on healing.
Truck Accidents
Tangling with a semi-truck means dealing with massive insurance policies and federal logs. We tear through maintenance records and driver data to hold the trucking company’s feet to the fire.
Motorcycle Accidents
Bikers are constantly overlooked. We aggressively track down drivers who "didn't see you," ensuring you get specialized rehab care.
Drunk Driving Accidents
There is zero excuse for driving wasted. We go after maximum compensation to hold reckless drinkers accountable.
Boat Accidents
With the Gulf and Tampa Bay in our own backyard, we know firsthand how maritime codes mix with local negligence laws when bad things happen on the water.
Slip and Falls
Whether it’s a greasy floor or a crumbling sidewalk, we prove the owner knew about the hazard. We don't let them dismiss your suffering as a minor trip.
Nursing Home Abuse
Our seniors deserve dignity. We take it personally when facilities like those along 49th Street allow neglect or physical abuse to happen on their watch.
Birth Injuries
When a doctor’s mistake turns a delivery room into a tragedy, we provide the heavy-hitting legal support required for complex malpractice suits.
Burn Injuries/Dog Bites
Landlords and business owners often point the finger at the victim. We flip that script, digging into building codes to make sure they pay. Also, we help victims secure compensation for the physical and emotional scarring caused by animal attacks.
Workplace Injuries
Don't let an "on-the-clock" accident wreck your bank account. We help you juggle the mess of Workers' Comp while pursuing every dime you're owed under personal injury law.
Victims Have Rights
We believe every person who gets hurt because of someone else's negligence deserves a loud voice. Consider us your shield against the insurance adjusters trying to lowball your future.
What Is Your Claim Truly Worth?
Retaining a personal injury attorney in Pinellas Park, Florida, serves as your primary defense against a system designed to minimize your trauma. Our role involves more than just administrative filing; we execute a forensic audit of your life’s disruption.
Economic Damages (The Financial Impact)
- Medical Expenses: We account for every line item, from first responders and emergency stabilization at HCA Florida Northside Hospital to ongoing physical therapy and long-term prescriptions.
- Lost Wages: We quantify immediate paycheck gaps and project the “loss of earning capacity” if your injuries permanently handicap your career path.
- Property Damage: Secure a valuation for the restoration or replacement of your vehicle and personal assets.
Non-Economic Damages (The Human Cost)
- Pain and Suffering: Documenting the raw physical agony and the grueling recovery process.
- Emotional Anguish: Recognizing the psychological footprint, including clinical anxiety and post-traumatic depression.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Defining the “lifestyle deficit” created when your injuries prevent you from cycling on the Pinellas Trail or engaging in daily milestones like picking up your children.
The LeavenLaw Process: From Consultation to Compensation
We believe in absolute transparency throughout the litigation process. Here is what you can expect:
- The Free Consultation: We sit down and listen. We want to hear your story, review your photos, and analyze the police report. This initial assessment costs you nothing.
- The Investigation: Our team gathers evidence with a focus on “boots on the ground” facts. We interview witnesses, pull surveillance footage from local businesses, and consult with accident reconstruction experts.
- The Negotiation: We present a comprehensive “demand package” to the insurance carrier. Because of our reputation, they know we are prepared to go to trial if they don’t offer a fair valuation.
- The Resolution: While most cases settle out of court, we are experienced trial litigators. We will stand by you in front of a judge and jury to fight for a just outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire LeavenLaw?
We operate on a contingency basis, so you don’t owe us anything up front or on an hourly basis. You owe us nothing if we do not obtain a recovery in your case. This enables open access to the highest caliber of legal representation for all members of our community at no cost.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Florida, the general statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years. However, for medical malpractice or government claims, deadlines are different. You should call us right away to make sure you don’t miss your opportunity for financial recovery.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every file as if it were going to trial. This “trial-ready” reputation forces insurance companies to take your claim seriously. If they won’t offer a fair settlement, we are prepared to fight for you in a Pinellas County courtroom.
