Located in a quiet professional setting on Pinewood Drive, the firm specializes in areas of law that directly impact a person's ability to survive financially: Workers' Compensation, Social Security Disability, and Wage and Hour disputes.

If you need to find a lawyer who will stand by your side from the initial application to the final hearing, Proctor & Kole is the trusted choice in Tallahassee.

Protecting Your Rights at Work and Beyond

Proctor & Kole focuses on specific niche areas of law to provide the highest level of expertise. Their practice areas include:

• Workers' Compensation Lawyers: aggressive representation for employees injured on the job, ensuring they receive medical care, lost wages, and settlement benefits under Florida's complex workers' comp laws.
• Social Security Disability: Guiding clients through the often-denied SSDI and SSI application and appeals process, fighting for those who can no longer maintain gainful employment.
• Wage and Hour Lawyers: Representing workers who have been denied overtime pay, minimum wage, or have been misclassified by their employers to avoid paying fair wages.
• State Disability Retirement: Assisting public employees in Florida who need to access their disability retirement benefits.

The attorneys at Proctor & Kole are not afraid to go to court. While they strive for efficient settlements, they are known as aggressive advocates who will litigate if an insurance carrier or agency acts unfairly. This reputation for toughness often leads to better results for their clients.

No Recovery, No Fee Promise

Access to justice should not be limited by your bank account. Proctor & Kole operates on a contingency fee basis for most of their cases. This means you do not pay any attorney fees or costs unless they successfully win your case or secure benefits for you. This 'No Win, No Fee' structure allows you to hire an attorney without financial risk, giving you the power to fight back against well-funded opponents.
