Helping Injury Victims Across the Space Coast
Andrew Pickett Law is a Melbourne law firm, based on East New Haven Avenue in the downtown district, and clients are welcome to come in and sit down with someone in person. It was built here on purpose. Its founder grew up in Brevard County and graduated from Satellite High School, began his legal career as a prosecutor in the 18th Judicial Circuit where claims arising in Melbourne are still filed, and opened the firm downtown in 2018 because, in his own words, his heart and soul are in Brevard County. That commitment shows up outside the practice as well, on the Young Lawyers Division of the Brevard County Bar Association, the grant review committee for the Community Foundation for Brevard, and as a volunteer judge for 18th Circuit Teen Court. The firm is also built to try cases rather than only to settle them. Its founder has tried more than fifty jury trials to verdict over the past ten years, and in May 2019 that experience produced a $2.5 million verdict against State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company. Every injury and wrongful death file is prepared as though it will be presented to a jury, and clients pay nothing unless the case recovers money.
Why Clients Choose Andrew Pickett Law

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
What does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
You pay us nothing to talk about your case, and nothing at all unless we recover money for you. When we do, our fee comes out of that recovery.
Injury cases in Melbourne are handled here by an attorney who has tried more than fifty jury trials to verdict in the past ten years. Most still settle without ever going to court, and on those our fee averages about a third. We will not hesitate to take your case to court if that is what it needs, and if we do, the fee may change. Whatever applies to you will be in your agreement, in writing, before you sign anything.
People often miss those details, so ask about them before you sign, here or anywhere else.
Costs are separate from the fee. Filing fees, medical records, expert reports, court reporters. Those come out of the recovery as well. Your agreement should say plainly whether costs come out before or after the fee is worked out, because the order changes what you take home.
At the end of your case you get a written breakdown. What came in, what was paid and to whom, and how we got to your number. You are entitled to that. If it does not arrive, ask for it.
Who will actually be working on my case?
Andrew Pickett works out of our Melbourne office, and he builds and supervises most of the cases that come from here.
Building it is the part that decides what your case becomes. Which records we go after and when. Which doctors we need to hear from. What we can prove about what happened. Whether the file is ready to settle or ready for a fight. He does that himself.
Ask this question at every firm you talk to. They all say you will work with an attorney. Ask them who does the work, and ask who picks up the phone when you have a question. You should come away with names.
What kind of cases does Andrew Pickett Law handle in Melbourne?
Personal injury cases. That means someone else’s carelessness caused you harm, and you are trying to be paid for it.
The law calls this a tort. It covers harm to a person. Your body, your mind, sometimes your reputation. It does not cover damage to your property. Those are separate claims, and they often move at different speeds even when the same insurance company is handling both.
Most of it comes down to negligence. Someone did not take the care a reasonably careful person would have taken, and you were hurt because of it. Some cases involve a deliberate act. Others involve a product made or sold in a dangerous condition, where the company can be responsible even if nobody was careless.
In practice, almost all of these start as insurance claims rather than lawsuits. There is usually a policy behind the person or business that hurt you, and an adjuster whose job is to decide what your claim is going to cost their company. Most claims are settled with that adjuster and never see a courtroom. A lawsuit is what happens when their offer and what the claim should actually pay are too far apart.
What you can be paid for is medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, help you needed at home, and getting to and from treatment.
There are also things people expect to recover that are not part of it.
It is not a criminal case. If someone is charged over what happened, the State of Florida handles that on its own schedule. A conviction does not pay your bills, and no charges being filed does not mean you have no claim.
It is also not what we do if someone is blaming you. When a claim is made against you, that is insurance defense, and it is usually handled by a lawyer your own insurance company hires and pays for. Call your insurance company before you call a law firm. You are probably owed a defense you do not have to pay for. We represent people who were hurt.
How a claim actually works, start to finish
Most people have never done this before and have no idea what the next two years look like. Here is the shape of it. Not every claim goes through every stage — most stop well before the end — and the timings vary a great deal with the injury.
- The first two weeks. Get medical attention, even if you think you are fine, and tell whoever treats you how the injury happened — a crash, a fall, a machine that was not guarded. The gap between the injury and your first medical record is what an insurer will point at later. After a motor vehicle crash there is a hard deadline on top of that: state law gives you a narrow window before no-fault benefits are lost.If you call us in this period, we open the claim, notify the insurers and take the paperwork off you the same day.
- Investigation, while the evidence still exists. The incident or crash report, photographs, camera footage, vehicle data, maintenance and inspection records, witness details. Much of this is overwritten or discarded within weeks by ordinary business routine, not by anyone hiding anything.We send the preservation requests, obtain the reports and track down the footage before it cycles. You do not need to chase any of it.
- Treatment, and finding out where you will end up. Your case cannot be valued until your doctors can say what is temporary and what is permanent. This is usually the longest phase, and it is normal for it to feel as though nothing is happening.We manage the medical bills, the health insurer, and any lien or letter of protection in the background, and we keep you updated even when there is nothing new to report.
- The demand. Once your treatment has reached a stable point, everything is assembled into one package: the records, the bills, the lost earnings, the effect on your life, and a figure.We write it, we price it, and we go through it with you before it is sent. Nothing goes out that you have not seen.
- Negotiation, and the first offer. Insurers rarely accept a first demand. There is usually an exchange of positions, and an early low offer is a normal part of that rather than a verdict on your claim.We handle every conversation with the insurer. The decision to accept or refuse is always yours, and we will tell you what we think and why.
- Filing suit, if it is needed. If the negotiation stalls, or the deadline is approaching, a lawsuit is filed. Filing is not the same as going to trial — for many claims it is simply what makes the other side take the case seriously.We prepare and file everything. Your involvement at this stage is usually limited to answering questions and approving decisions.
- Discovery. Both sides exchange documents and answer written questions, and witnesses give evidence under oath at a deposition. You may be asked to attend one, and you may be examined by a doctor chosen by the other side.We prepare you properly for anything you have to attend, we go with you, and nothing about the process will be a surprise on the day.
- Mediation. Before a trial date, the parties sit down with a neutral mediator to try to settle. This is where a great many cases end.We are in the room with you throughout, and no figure is agreed without your say-so.
- Trial, if settlement fails. A small minority of claims are decided by a judge or jury. Where that happens depends on how much is at stake.If your case is one of them, we carry it. You will have been prepared for it long before the date arrives.
Your job is to get treatment and get better; ours is everything else. If at any point you are not sure what is happening or why, that is a phone call, not an imposition — being kept in the dark is one of the most common complaints people have about this process, and it is entirely avoidable.

Working with Tiffany Whitehouse, Vonda, and Lauren at Andrew Pickett Law Firm was an amazing experience for me. They were really professional, attentive, and committed to my case from beginning to end. Their diligence and genuine concern for achieving the greatest result for me were what truly stood out. I genuinely felt like I was in good hands the entire time because of their dedication and teamwork, which made a difficult situation much easier to face. I got the best outcomes I could have imagined because of their hard work and knowledge. I am incredibly appreciative and would heartily suggest their team to anyone in need of legal assistance.

My experience is based on 2 settlements so far, still pending another case and 1 of the already settled cases M&M took but didn't want to keep after stringing me along for 4 months. So just choose Andrew Pickett Law, don't waste time with another injury attorney. Tiffany Whitehouse is great, she was confident in my cases, kept me informed and very accommodating. We didn't even have to go to court for those 2 cases. And because I had already trusted them with 2 cases, I also gave them a third case which settled quickly. My only regret, I just wish I had known about them sooner. Thanks for everything! I have already recommended my friends and clients and will continue.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I cannot say enough amazing things about Tiffany Whitehouse and her entire team. From the very beginning, I felt genuinely cared for, supported, and prioritized throughout my entire experience. Tiffany is an absolute powerhouse her knowledge, confidence, and attention to detail truly set her apart from any attorney I’ve ever worked with. She knows her craft inside and out, and you can feel that level of expertise in every interaction. What really stood out to me was how responsive and efficient everyone was. Communication was always clear and timely, and I was never left wondering about the status of my case. Tiffany and her paralegal, Vonda, worked seamlessly together and made everything feel organized and stress-free. Vonda was incredibly kind, attentive, and always made sure I had what I needed. They both went above and beyond in ways that made a stressful situation feel manageable. I also want to recognize the admin team, especially Lauren and Hailey. They were so welcoming, helpful, and professional every time I interacted with them. It’s clear that this entire office operates with a high level of care, compassion, and dedication to their clients. Another thing that truly stood out to me was how thorough and patient everyone was when answering my questions. No matter how many I had, they took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I fully understood even if it took 20 minutes. That level of patience and dedication meant so much and made me feel confident every step of the way. What meant the most to me is that they didn’t treat me like just another case they truly cared about me as a person. They checked in regularly, made sure I felt supported, and consistently went the extra mile. That kind of genuine compassion is rare to find. If you’re looking for a legal team that is not only highly skilled but also truly invested in you, I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Pickett Law. They exceeded all of my expectations and I am beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for me. Thank you all SO incredibly much!
