  If you’re a first responder, the answer to this question affects not just you and your quality of life but the lives of everyone around you. First, let’s start with the clinical definition of PTSD. The American Psychiatric Association defines PTSD as “a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape or other violent personal assault.” Read More

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  We all know that honesty is important in everything we do. In fact, we have heard this all of our lives from our parents, teachers, and employers. All First Responders are held to a very high standard in their work lives, especially when testifying in court. Nine out of ten know that giving false testimony under oath is perjury and can subject the person committing perjury to criminal sanctions and job loss among other sanctions. But how many know that Chapter 440, Florida Statutes, the chapter outlining and prescribing Florida’s Workers Compensation laws, goes even further in sanctioning “dishonesty”? Read More

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  Personal injury is a legal term for an injury to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property. Depending upon the intent or negligence of a responsible party, the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation from that party through a settlement or a judgment.
• Social Security Disability
  Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD or SSDI) is a payroll tax-funded, federal insurance program of the United States government. It is managed by the Social Security Administration and is designed to provide income supplements to people who are physically restricted in their ability to be employed because of a notable disability, usually a physical disability.

Trusts and Estates

• Wills
  Our ultimate goal at Bichler, Clelland, Oliver is to meet all the legal needs of all first responders in the most efficient way possible and at significant savings. We offer reduced fees to all first responders and their families making sure you keep more of your hard earned money. For example most personal injury firms take 33 percent of any recovery made as a result of an automobile accident, even if no suit has been filed. At Bichler, Clelland, Oliver first responders and their families pay only 25 percent of any recovery in a personal injury case, saving a full 8 percent before a case goes to suit. After a case goes to suit most firms charge 40 percent of recovery while we only charge 35 percent— saving clients 5 percent. We also charge reduced hourly rates for criminal representation, labor consulting, preparation of wills and trusts, and family law issues. Again, our goal here is to always maximize the recovery of our clients and to minimize legal costs wherever possible. This means more money for first responders and their families with less paid out in legal expenses.
