Palmer | Lopez, PA

Joseph Lopez is a founding partner and trial attorney at Palmer Lopez, P.A., a boutique Tampa trial firm. Mr. Lopez and his partner, Martin Palmer, take cases involving medical malpractice and other cases involving personal injury. The firm focuses on catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases as enabled by a lower volume, more hands-on approach to each case. With no billboards or television advertisements, the firm exists primarily based on the referrals and recommendations of other attorneys and former clients. 

In the medical malpractice arena, the firm regularly prosecutes cases involving hospital and physician error. These cases cover a broad range of healthcare related failures ranging from nursing to neurosurgery and everything in between. Routinely, these cases are prosecuted against sophisticated physicians and some of the largest hospital chains in the country. On the personal injury side, the firm takes on cases involving automobile accidents, industrial accidents, falls, and other related areas. 

With an outstanding track record in trial, and for each year since 2019, Mr. Lopez has been nominated by Super Lawyers as a “Rising Star” in the area of personal injury litigation. This distinction is offered to no more than 2.5% of all Florida attorneys. He and his firm have also received various other awards and nominations to include Best Lawyers in America, Top 40 under 40, the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and others. He is licensed to practice in all Florida State Courts and the United State Middle District of Florida. 

A fifth-generation Tampa native, Mr. Lopez spends his spare time in the outdoors and among family and friends. His deep roots in the community and personal commitment to his hometown further inspire his dedication to serving the people of Tampa. He graduated from Jesuit High School in 2006, earned his B.S. in Finance from Auburn University in 2010, before obtaining his J.D. from Stetson University College of Law in 2013.
