A Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney with Proven Courtroom Experience
We’re proud to share that David J. Zappitell, founder of Zappitell Law Firm, has once again been selected to the National Trial Lawyers Top 100. This honor is extended to only the most qualified civil plaintiff and criminal defense trial lawyers across the country. It recognizes experience, leadership, and a proven ability to represent clients in high-stakes cases.
David’s selection is more than a badge—it signals to insurance companies that our firm is always ready to take a case to trial. That willingness to fight in court gives us an edge in every negotiation.
| “The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 recognizes those of us who are willing to try cases—who don’t back down when insurance companies try to shortchange our clients. It means they know we’re ready for trial, not just settlement.” |
| – David J. Zappitell, founder of the Zappitell Law Firm |
What Is the National Trial Lawyers Top 100?
This invitation-only organization includes the top trial attorneys in each state. Membership is based on a combination of peer nominations and third-party research. Candidates must demonstrate a high level of skill in civil litigation or criminal defense and must meet strict qualifications in areas like courtroom performance, reputation, and legal influence.
Being chosen again for the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 confirms David’s long-standing commitment to legal excellence. It also reinforces his reputation among peers and insurers as a serious litigator.
Why It Matters to Our Clients
David J. Zappitell is a board certified civil trial attorney, a distinction held by fewer than 2% of Florida attorneys. That certification means he has met the Florida Bar’s highest standards for trial advocacy and legal knowledge.
For our clients, this means:
- Your case is being handled by someone who has real courtroom experience—not just someone who settles every case.
- Opposing insurance companies know who they’re dealing with and understand that we don’t bluff.
- You have someone on your side who is certified, qualified, and willing to go the distance.
| “If the other side knows you’re not afraid to go to trial, they’re far more likely to make a fair offer. That’s how we help clients recover the maximum compensation they’re entitled to.” |
