Alex Lopez, Esq
Partner & Attorney at Law
Alex Lopez is a civil litigator who represents personal injury victims and property damage claimants throughout Florida. Before switching to plaintiff-side work, he spent three years at one of the country's top civil litigation firms, defending major insurance carriers against the same types of claims he now pursues on behalf of his clients. That experience matters. Insurance companies do not evaluate claims in good faith by default. They follow a playbook built to minimize what they pay. Alex spent years inside that process, and he brought everything he learned across the aisle when he made the decision to represent the people on the other side of it. Alex has tried multiple civil cases to verdict and has served as trial counsel for other law firms, bringing his litigation experience to cases beyond his own docket. He handles personal injury matters, including car accidents, motorcycle crashes, slip-and-falls, and related claims, as well as complex property damage disputes for homeowners and businesses across the state. For clients going up against an insurance company, Alex Lopez is not analyzing the opposition. He already knows them.
Irina Tarnovsky, Esq
Partner & Attorney at Law
Irina Tarnovsky is a trial attorney who fights for people seriously injured in car accidents, motorcycle crashes, slip-and-falls, and a wide range of personal injury matters. She also represents clients in complex commercial and residential property damage claims throughout Florida. What sets Irina apart is what she brought into private practice: over 30 cases tried to verdict. That kind of courtroom repetition—real trials, real stakes, real juries is something most attorneys in civil litigation simply do not have. Insurance companies know it. And it changes how they respond when she is on the other side. Irina began her career as an assistant state attorney in Broward County, where four years of daily courtroom appearances sharpened the instincts that define her practice today. She then spent the next chapter of her career on the defense side, representing insurance carriers in the exact types of matters she now pursues for her clients. That experience gave her an inside view of how insurers evaluate claims, construct defenses, and determine what a case is worth. She now uses that knowledge directly on behalf of the people who need it most. For Irina's clients, the result is an attorney who does not just threaten to go to trial. She takes it to trial.
Harry Kaklamanakis, Esq
Associate Attorney at Law
As a dedicated trial lawyer specializing in personal injury and first-party property cases, Harry Kaklamanakis Esq is passionate about advocating for those who have been wronged. His journey to the courtroom is deeply rooted in his heritage as a first-generation American, raised by a Greek father and a Greek-Bahamian mother. Growing up in a family of small business owners, he learned invaluable lessons about the power of hard work, and the importance of unwavering commitment to customer service. Harry’s Greek American heritage instilled in him a fervent sense of purpose and a belief in the principles of fairness and integrity. These values fuel his passion for the law and drive his relentless pursuit of justice for his clients. Harry began his legal career as a Public Defender in Palm Beach County, where he had the privilege of defending the rights of some of the most vulnerable members in his community. This experience reinforced his commitment to justice and deepened his understanding of the critical importance of protecting individual rights. It is also where he began to develop and hone his skills in the courtroom. After his tenure at the public defender’s office, Harry transitioned into civil litigation. For two and a half years, Harry served as lead trial counsel for the largest private property insurance company in Florida. During this time, he gained invaluable insight into the inner workings of the insurance industry, which has proven beneficial when representing his clients. Harry has spent thousands of hours in Florida courtrooms, skillfully advocating for his clients and navigating complex legal landscapes. To date, he holds over 32 jury trial verdicts, with the overwhelming majority favoring his clients. Each case he takes on is approached with the utmost dedication and strategic foresight, ensuring that his clients receive the justice, and compensation, they deserve. Harry’s commitment to excellence and his unwavering belief in doing what is right continue to guide him as he fights for his clients’ interests.
