What We Do

We have, and will never, represent insurance companies. When an insurance company tries to deny, delay, or underpay your claim, we go to battle. When you become a client at Taylor, Warren, Weidner & Hancock, the stress and worry of an insurance claim is no longer your problem; it becomes our problem. We will navigate the issues, make the tough calls and fight for your claim as if what happened to you happened to us. And don't take our word for it, read some of our online reviews or watch testimonials from our former clients and they will tell you. Helping people is our passion. It is why we come to the office every day. It is why we became lawyers. We want you to get to know us and learn about the personal injury, insurance and disability matters that we handle.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT WAIT TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY

Waiting to contact an attorney can affect your legal rights. Insurance companies often work hard, from the minute a claim is filed, to gather evidence they want to use to deny or underpay your claim. You need someone on your side who is working to protect your interests and who will make sure the insurance company pays what is fair. We never charge a fee or cost to sit down with you and explain your legal rights in a way that you can understand without all the legal jargon. We want to meet you and fight your fight for you. If you have a legal problem you think you might need help with, contact us.  If your case is not the type of personal injury, insurance or disability matter that we typically handle, we will do what we can to help you find an attorney who can handle your claim.

And, remember to ask these Five Important Questions before hiring any personal injury attorney. Too many times potential clients shy away from asking personal injury attorneys questions that could have a huge impact on your relationship with the attorney and how your case is handled.  Never worry about offending a personal injury attorney by asking questions like this.  Remember you, too, are making a very important decision as to whether the attorney is someone you want to hire to handle your case.  

WHY OUR ATTORNEYS STAND OUT

Our lawyers have achieved some of the most prestigious accomplishments among their peers. Attorneys Phillip Warren and Keith Weidner are lifetime members of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and Stephanie Taylor and Brian Hancock are lifetime members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.  These designations are reserved for attorneys who have obtained multiple settlements or verdicts in excess of one million dollars. Less than 1% of U.S. attorneys are members of the Multi-Million and Million Dollar Advocates Forums.  

Partners, Phillip Warren and Keith Weidner, have been recognized in the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, an invitation-only organization comprised of the premiere trial lawyers from each state.  In addition, partners, Phillip Warren and Brian Hancock, obtained a verdict for the victim of a car accident that was highlighted as one of the Top 100 Personal Injury Verdicts in Florida for 2019.

Our attorneys have also been selected by fellow attorneys statewide as Super Lawyers, a peer-review designation only 1% of the attorneys in Florida achieve:

• Stephanie Taylor (Selected as a Super Lawyer in Insurance Coverage 2012-2022)
• Phillip Warren (Selected as a Rising Star in Personal Injury 2012-2013 and a Super Lawyer in Insurance Coverage in 2022)
• Keith Weidner (Selected as a Rising Star 2013-2015, Super Lawyer in Personal Injury 2016-2017 and a Super Lawyer in Insurance Coverage 2018-2022)

Of the eighty-six (86) attorneys in Florida to be designated as Super Lawyers in Insurance Coverage in 2022, only four practice in Pensacola.  And, of those four, three belong to Taylor, Warren, Weidner & Hancock.  In addition, Phillip Warren and Keith Weidner have also each attained AV Pre-Eminent Martindale-Hubbell ratings, which is the highest designation available for strong legal ability and ethical excellence and generated through reviews by fellow attorneys and the judiciary.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

You need an attorney you trust and you can communicate freely with—an attorney who returns your calls, answers your questions, and makes you understand the legal issues involved. One of the things we pride ourselves on the most is our customer service, our compassion in making our clients feel like what happened to them happened to us. But don't take our word for it. Let our former clients—in video testimonials and online reviews—tell you about their experience working with us, whether their questions were answered in a way they could understand and whether they felt they were educated about the legal issues, and perhaps difficulties, involved in handling their case and what opinion they formed of our attorneys.
