Fort Lauderdale, FL — South Florida’s legal community welcomes a fresh, determined, and competent voice in personal injury law as Marissa Stockwell, Esq. announces the official launch of Stockwell Law P.A., a boutique personal injury firm located in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Now in her fourth year of practice, Stockwell brings a powerful combination of academic excellence, hands-on legal experience, and genuine compassion to clients across Florida who have been injured through no fault of their own.
Stockwell’s journey into law began with a lifelong love of rules, structure, and helping others. She graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, then earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law. Between degrees, she worked as a legal assistant at a large personal injury firm—an experience that proved pivotal. “I saw how much I could impact lives as a legal assistant,” she recalls. “Even more so as an attorney. I knew this was what I wanted to do with my life.” That early exposure to personal injury work revealed to her the ideal intersection of medical understanding, legal advocacy, and meaningful human connection.
In December 2024, Stockwell Law opened its doors, quickly positioning itself as a boutique firm defined by personalized service, attention to detail, and unwavering client advocacy. While the firm most frequently handles car accident cases, it proudly accepts all types of personal injury matters. Stockwell’s philosophy is simple: every case is unique, every life impacted by injury deserves to be heard, and every client deserves direct communication with the attorney they hired. “Personal injury law is about people, not case files,” she says. “My mission is to deliver compassionate, personalized representation to individuals and families in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area. My firm is small and client-focused, which ensures every client receives the time, respect, and genuine care they deserve.”
Unlike many large firms, where clients are passed from one staff member to another, Stockwell Law provides a deeply individualized experience. Clients work directly with Marissa—not a case manager, not a rotating team, and not an automated system. This structure allows her to maneuver quickly, adapt strategies to each case, and respond personally to the emotional and practical challenges clients face after an accident. Her hands-on approach fosters trust, clarity, and peace of mind during what is often one of the most stressful periods of a person’s life.
As a woman practicing personal injury law in a notoriously male-dominated field, Stockwell brings a unique and powerful blend of empathy, intuition, and strategic calm to her work. She understands that personal injury cases are not just legal matters; they are deeply personal, often involving trauma, fear, and uncertainty. “People come to us during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives,” she explains. “My perspective allows me to approach every case from a human impact viewpoint. Patience and active listening make all the difference in truly understanding my clients.”
Yet while she leads with compassion, Stockwell is also an unshakeable advocate in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. Detail-driven, assertive, and disciplined, she refuses to tolerate bullying tactics or pressure from insurance companies. Her balanced approach—empathetic with clients, relentless with insurers—has already begun to set her apart as one of Fort Lauderdale’s leading legal voices.
In addition to traditional representation, Stockwell Law offers complimentary consultations, reinforcing its commitment to accessibility and transparency. Whether a potential client is dealing with a car accident, a slip-and-fall, negligent security, or another injury, Marissa encourages anyone uncertain about their rights to reach out. Her goal is to ensure no injured person feels alone or misinformed during a time when guidance matters most.
As Fort Lauderdale continues to grow and evolve, Stockwell Law is poised to become a trusted boutique injury firm known for its personal touch, unwavering commitment, and results-driven advocacy. With Marissa Stockwell at the helm, clients can expect individualized care backed by knowledge, compassion, and the determination to fight for the justice they deserve.
