Recent announcements from notable personal injury attorneys highlight their new initiatives and continued advocacy for victims. Among these developments, Moore Payne Law has officially opened its doors, aiming to provide client-focused, trial-ready legal representation for individuals affected by catastrophic injuries.
Founded by esteemed attorneys Geoff Moore, Esq. and Spencer Payne, Esq. in Orlando, Florida, Moore Payne Law seeks to revolutionize personal injury representation. Moore, who has earned accolades such as inclusion on the Super Lawyers® list for 2023 and 2024, emphasized the firm’s deliberate approach to lower volume cases, stating, "We saw an increasing need for an intentionally low-volume firm, as Florida has its fair share of big law firms." By focusing on fewer cases, the firm can prepare each matter as if destined for trial, ensuring clients receive premium advocacy.
Payne, whose past experience includes defending healthcare facilities, added, "While we fight for the maximum recovery in each case, our advocacy for change doesn’t stop with our clients." This belief demonstrates their commitment not only to clients but also to holding negligent institutions accountable and encouraging systemic reform.
Across the country, Russell Nicolet has gained recognition as one of the most heavily marketed and successful personal injury lawyers. Starting out as the first person in his family to attend law school, Nicolet faced numerous challenges. His perseverance led him to achieve impressive milestones, including accolades such as Top 40 under 40 Trial Lawyers. He stated, "I think becoming obsessed with getting clients’ problems solved and wanting to get…better…was what really made a difference for me." Through engagement with mentors and his continuous drive to improve, Nicolet has expanded his practice to serve Wisconsin and Minnesota effectively.
His firm, Nicolet Law, has evolved from humble beginnings to now employing dozens across several states. Looking forward, Nicolet seeks to hold corporations accountable for injuries, aiming to advocate vigorously for clients suffering from life-altering conditions.
Meanwhile, Nic Edgson, CEO and managing attorney of Big Auto Accident Attorneys, was appointed to the BNI Philanthropic Advisory Council of Phoenix Children's Foundation on February 28, 2025. Edgson, who has advocated extensively for accident victims, expresses deep commitment to the local community and children's healthcare. "I’m honored to join the BNI Philanthropic Advisory Council of such a transformative organization," he reflected. His dedication is inspired partly by his experiences as a father, especially during his youngest son's recent health challenges.
Edgson's law firm has pledged support to Phoenix Children's Hospital, making significant contributions to advance their healthcare mission. His involvement reinforces his desire to provide hope and support to families facing difficult times.
Finally, we turn to Michael Colbach, another standout in the personal injury law field. Recognized on the 2025 Oregon Super Lawyers list, Colbach has built his reputation through aggressive legal strategy, offering one-on-one services and limiting his caseload to focus on results. His noteworthy achievements include securing substantial verdicts on behalf of clients, including remarkable settlements from the state. Colbach advises potential clients, "Spending a few thousand dollars on a good expert witness can make the difference between getting thousands of dollars or getting nothing for your personal injury claim." His philosophy emphasizes thorough preparation and aggressive representation, ensuring clients do not settle for less than they deserve.
The narratives of these attorneys reflect not only their professional accomplishments but also their deep commitment to advocating for their clients and affecting positive change within their communities. From the launch of Moore Payne Law to the philanthropic efforts of Edgson, it’s clear the personal injury law sector is focusing on individualized care and taking meaningful steps toward broader reform. These legal leaders exemplify the dedication needed to navigate and succeed within both the challenging and rewarding facets of personal injury law.
