From the Panhandle to the Keys, we serve clients throughout Florida. When your case is in our hands, you’re working with a team that knows the courts, the judges, and many of the opposing counsel across the state — insight that gives your case a strategic advantage from day one.
Proven Track Record
Over the past 30 years, we’ve taken on — and won — against some of the largest employers in the country. We’ve served more than 9,000 clients and recovered over $100 million through a combination of courtroom victories and negotiated settlements. Each result represents a person who trusted us to take their situation seriously and stand with them when the stakes were high.
Recognized Excellence
Your legal team should be trusted — by the people they represent, by their peers, and by the legal industry at large. Wenzel Fenton Cabassa has been recognized by Best Lawyers in America for more than a dozen consecutive years. In 2025, we received the Gold Client Champion Award from Martindale-Hubbell, were peer-rated for professional excellence, and honored with Avvo’s Clients’ Choice Award. With over 600 5 Star Google reviews, our record of recognition speaks for itself.
What Sets Us Apart
Led by Board-Certified Attorneys
Our leadership includes attorneys who are Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by The Florida Bar — a distinction earned by fewer than 1% of Florida lawyers. This certification recognizes the highest level of knowledge, professionalism, and ethics in the field. But what truly defines the client experience is our consistency: clear communication, thoughtful strategy, and unwavering advocacy.
Exclusively Focused on Employment Law
Employment law is not just what we do — it’s all we do. As one of the largest plaintiff’s employment law firms in the Southeast, every resource, strategy, and piece of experience we have is dedicated to protecting workers’ rights, giving your case the focus and dedication it deserves.
Collaborative, Multi-Attorney Team
With 13 attorneys and over 200 years of combined experience, we share knowledge and resources internally so every client benefits from the full strength of our firm — not just a single lawyer.
Aggressive Negotiation and Litigation Skills
Conversations can take on a different tone when the other side realizes are facing a firm that doesn’t avoid the courtroom. While some firms hesitate to move beyond written demands, Wenzel Fenton Cabassa has been recognized for the volume of employment cases we pursue in federal court. That distinction may influence how a case is handled from the very beginning — shaping its tone, urgency, and direction well before trial is ever on the table.
Personalized Strategy for Your Case
Your case is unique, and so is our approach. We tailor our strategy to your circumstances and career goals. Our size allows us to take on any employer, yet we still deliver the personal attention larger firms often can’t provide.
Accessible, Risk-Free Representation
We work on a contingency fee basis: you pay nothing unless we win. There’s no retainer, no monthly fee, and no obligation to reimburse advanced costs unless we’re successful. This structure removes financial barriers, giving you full access to our resources, experience, and reputation without risk, because we believe the quality of your representation should never depend on your financial situation.

Yes. For more than three decades, we have taken on some of the nation’s largest employers in complex employment disputes across Florida. Our firm is recognized for the volume of employment cases we pursue in federal court, which often changes how employers approach negotiations from the very beginning. When the other side knows they are facing a firm that is willing and able to litigate, it gives our clients a stronger position at every stage of the case.
We typically represent clients on a contingency fee basis. That means you do not pay any retainer or upfront legal fees. You only pay if we recover money for you. There are no monthly bills, and you are not responsible for reimbursing advanced costs unless your case is successful. This allows you to access the full resources, experience, and reputation of our firm without taking on financial risk.
It begins with a free, confidential case evaluation. Once you contact us, your information is reviewed by a senior attorney with deep experience in Florida employment law. If we determine we can help, we assemble a legal team and develop a strategy tailored to your situation and goals. From there, we handle the investigation, negotiations, and, when necessary, litigation — keeping you informed at every step so you always know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what comes next.
