He handles motor vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, and trucking accident cases. He also works on slip and fall claims, dog bites, defective products, and wrongful death matters.

Seth completed his undergraduate studies at the University of South Carolina, where he graduated cum laude after earning Dean’s List or President’s List recognition every semester. He received his J.D., magna cum laude, from Florida Coastal School of Law. He also served as a legal writing teaching assistant during law school. His academic record included highest-grade awards in constitutional law, criminal procedure, persuasive writing, family law, maritime law, and property.

Seth began developing personal injury experience while still in law school, spending more than two years clerking for a Jacksonville personal injury practice. He later moved to the defense side after admission to the Florida Bar. He regularly litigated a broad range of accident, premises, product, and wrongful death cases before joining a plaintiff-focused practice in 2016. His defense background helps him anticipate arguments and prepare claims from multiple perspectives.
