Jim enjoys practicing as a Florida personal injury lawyer because of the unique opportunity it gives to meet and help many different people. Jim believes in being profoundly related to the people around him. Being profoundly related to others applies not just to those that can help you, but also to those who can’t help themselves. Jim leads the board of directors as Chairman for the Rescue Outreach Mission of Central Florida. The Mission is a homeless rehabilitation center with separate facilities for homeless woman and children and homeless men.  Jim finds great joy in knowing that those among us with nothing can have a place to rest and find hope.  He is the Race Chairman of the annual Rescue Run Corporate 5K, a unique 3.1 mile walk/run that raises awareness and funds for the Mission.

Being a successful Florida personal injury lawyer requires learning the latest legal developments by constantly reading recent court decisions, communicating with other attorneys, and listening to what local judges and juries require. In order to do this, Jim is President of the Seminole County Bar Association, Treasurer of the Central Florida Trial Attorneys Association, and member of the Volusia County Bar Association, the Orange County Bar Association, the Florida Justice Association, the American Association for Justice, the Seminole County Chamber of Commerce, the Florida Bar, and the International Law Section of the Florida Bar.

The practice of law in Central Florida is collegial and that is also true with Florida personal injury lawyers.  In order to keep the practice of law this way, Jim has been a proponent of the American Inns of Court for two decades. The American Inns of Court was founded by a prior Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court to encourage lawyers to “break bread” with each other once a month and to foster excellence in professionalism, ethics, civility, and legal skills. Jim enjoys sharing with fellow lawyers as a member of the Inns of Court of Central Florida.  Jim is also a Fellow of The Florida Bar Foundation, the Florida Bar’s charitable trust whose mission is to fund programs that expand and improve representation and advocacy of low-income persons in civil legal matters and promote public service among lawyers by making it an integral component of the law school experience. It is the only statewide organization that provides financial support for legal aid and promotes improvements in addressing the civil legal needs of the poor.

Being a Florida personal injury lawyer is rewarding, but Jim’s greatest joy is being a family man. Jim is blessed to be married to his outgoing and beautiful wife Jennifer Ferguson. Jen has her own financial advising practice and has given Jim his passion for charitable work. Jim and Jen have three children, Evan, Irelyn & Stacy, and an extended family that includes 19 nieces and nephews! Jim and his family are members of Annunciation Catholic Church.  He volunteers as a coach for the children’s baseball teams and makes time for their camping and scouting events.

I highly recommend this firm. I consulted with Jim on a personal injury case and he was forthright and he took the time to listen to the facts. What I liked most about the firm is that it is not a high volume settlement “mill” law firm.

Hiring an attorney after a car accident was not something I was looking forward to. We were referred to James by a friend and meeting with him was the best decision we made in regards to our accident. I was afraid of working with a big firm, ending up lost in the shuffle and not having the proper guidance along the way and that is definitely not how James works. From the very beginning, he was personable, responsive, explained things so that we could understand (but never belittled us) and kept us in the loop on everything that was going on with regards to our case. His staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly as well. We were able to settle at mediation and after everything was done, both the mediator and the opposing attorneys complimented James and my choice to work with him (and I’m sure that doesn’t happen often). I’d recommend James in a heartbeat and would gladly hire him again if needed.

THANK YOU! What a wonderful experience and OUTCOME. I highly recommend this firm. Mike, who is professional, kind, and determined did an amazing job in researching my case. I would not have had the opportunity to be reimbursed for my injury without his skill. Jim supported me throughout the mediation process. His expertise and confidence gave me the emotional support I needed to follow through to the end. I never felt pushed or neglected. They never stopped fighting for me and made me realize that I deserved a comparable settlement for the damage that I incurred. I highly recommend this firm and would seek them out if I ever needed them.

I was on vacation when I got into an auto accident while driving a rental car. I hadn’t gotten the additional car insurance coverage which had me worried even though it was the other driver’s fault.My insurance company would not cover it cause it occurred in another state. I ended up having to seek treatments for back injuries at a rehab center. So I was left worrying about the medical bills being paid for my treatments. But the staff there gave me a recommendation to Vickaryous Law Firm, and I got in touch with Mike Palacios. He was able to take on my case and handle pursuing the at fault driver’s insurance company. After going through the process, he was able to help me get the medical bills taken care of plus I received a settlement to have for the injuries that were caused by the accident. I highly recommend going to them if anyone needs help with any kind of automobile accident.

I chose Mr. Vickaryous because he was not some large firm where you can get lost in the system. I wanted real, personal service and not some sales rep trying to sign me up, I wanted to talk to a real lawyer and get their opinion on my case. Mr. Vickaryous’ firm was easy to deal with, friendly and handled my case on my auto accident in a professional manner. Nice hometown, comfortable law firm to work with.

I was involved in a pretty significant collision and after researching personal injury firms, I retained the Vickaryous Law Firm. I’m very appreciative of the firm for the resolution of my case. Mike and Shannon were amazing. Mike stayed in constant contact with me and was very thorough throughout the process. Shannon was my attorney and she is a highly skilled lawyer who was a tireless advocate on my behalf. I highly recommend Shannon Snedaker. Thank you Shannon, Mike and everyone at Vickaryous Law.

My experience with Vickaryous Law Firm has been awesome! After I had my car accident, I did not know what to do. I was told to call Vickaryous Law Firm and I’m glad I did! They were there for me every step of the way. James Vickaryous treats his clients with respect and is very, very caring. He does not settle, but he fights hard to win your case. If you’re looking for a lawyer, call Vickaryous Law Firm.

I have never hired an attorney before and James Vickaryous was outstanding. The entire staff greeted me on every office visit. His assistant Mike was extremely helpful and always went out of his way to call and check on how things were going. Both James and Mike were very upfront on the procedures and practices. They were very realistic on the steps and process in my case. I would recommend this firm to anyone for any of the many practices they participate in.

I am very glad to have had Jim Vickaryous represent me. I am an avid cyclist who was injured when a part from my road bike malfunctioned. It was a complex case as it involved U.S. and international parties; however, Jim was able to successfully navigate these complexities and brought in the right experts to substantiate my case. He and his staff treated me with warmth and concern during a difficult time in my life, which I appreciated as much as their ability to bring my case to a positive conclusion for me. I would highly recommend Jim Vickaryous as a personal injury and product liability attorney.
