Jorge L. Maxion

Few personal injury attorneys have a career trajectory as diverse as Jorge Maxion’s.

After graduating from the University of Miami Law School in 1987, Jorge went the corporate route, spending the first part of his legal career working as a liability adjuster and staff attorney for some of the nation’s largest insurers. As a litigator for GEICO, Nationwide, The Travelers, and Progressive, he defended the insurers from liability claims.

Fast forward 20 years. Like many who started defending the insurers, Jorge made the transition to the other side of the courtroom in 2008, working on behalf of injured victims. In 2014, he joined GOLDLAW.

Maxion’s impressive career includes 30 years of active experience inside the courtroom. As a litigator and Magistrate in Palm Beach County Court, his experience is unmatched by most personal injury attorneys, who rarely actively litigate and adjudicate cases in an actual courtroom. This path has allowed him to experience the competitive benefit of a 360-degree perspective on his cases, as he’s experienced them as a defense lawyer, plaintiff lawyer, and judicial officer. His clients benefit from the fact that he can provide them with experience in the courtroom and a skill set that few other attorneys can match.

Recently, Jorge has successfully transitioned to the pre-suit phase of the personal injury claim process. Having resolved thousands of cases throughout his distinguished career, specializing in automotive and trucking accidents, boating accidents, and premises liability, he has embraced making the move from the “front lines” of personal injury law to getting quick resolutions for a variety of claims. Being bi-lingual, he proudly serves the Spanish-speaking community, and is the litigation lawyer assigned to many of the lawsuits for clients of the firm whose first, and in many cases, only language is Spanish.

Few attorneys have had a career that allows them the competitive benefit of a 360-degree perspective on cases. Jorge’s experience as a plaintiff lawyer, defense lawyer, and judicial officer provide his clients with a level of support and confidence they seek before, during, and after the long, arduous litigation process, that few attorneys are able to provide.
