William Raikes has practiced law in Florida since 1981. He has extensive experience amongst personal injury attorneys in Fort Pierce and provides aggressive representation to clients in cases involving personal injury, wrongful death, workers compensation, probate, and family law. He attended public schools in the Fort Pierce area and is familiar with local courts, judges and doctors. He handles every case himself and is committed to working directly with clients to help them achieve justice and fair compensation for their injuries. Mr. Raikes works primarily as a personal injury, family law, and estate planning lawyer for Fort Pierce, Saint Lucie County, and the Indian River communities of Florida. Our Fort Pierce personal injury law firm is dedicated to helping Floridians who were injured due to the negligence or wrongful acts of another secure recovery that helps them move on after injuries. Before practicing in Florida, Mr. Raikes was an attorney in Tennessee, where he graduated from both college and law school. Today, he is dedicated to helping clients get the justice and compensation they deserve. He works closely with interpreters who speak Spanish and Creole in order to be able to serve as many people as he can help fairly and effectively.

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

I feel I made a big difference in an auto accident case that was finally settled recently. My client was t-boned by a car which ran a stop sign and totaled my client's vehicle. My client was hurt very badly. I was able to help him find the right doctors who were both professional and medically competent. I stayed in close touch with the client and advised him constantly about medical treatment, the fact he was going to be under surveillance. I fought with the insurance adjuster a long time before we were able to obtain a fair settlement.

How did you build a successful practice?

I built a successful practice by being closely involved in my client's cases, talking to them personally or on the phone, and promptly returning phone calls. I get a lot of referrals through clients I've already represented who were happy with the work I did for them.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Clients should look for a lawyer who is personally interested in the client and doing a good job for the client. Being a lawyer is an opportunity to help people solve problems in their lives which is very personally rewarding for me.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Local knowledge is important because local lawyers know how each judge operates and understands the people in the community who are on the juries in case there is a jury trial.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

In a free phone consultation, I need personal information about the client, where the person lives, when the accident happened and where. Also need to know if there's an accident report available and what hospitals and doctors the person has been treated by.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

I'm different than other lawyers because I am good at communicating, calling people back promptly. I've been a lawyer for over 30 years so I have a lot of experience, I've handled a lot of cases. I have a good reputation in the community for honesty, integrity and competence.

Las Vegas' Adverse Possession Law
Adverse possession is the legal concept that if the owner of the land isn’t using it, and someone else is giving the land a useful purpose for long enough, the law favors the useful purpose over the land being left unused.

Due to the high traffic, noise, lowering property value, and other issues arising from the temporary nature of timeshares, cities often enact ordinances regulating the development and use of Timeshares within city limits.
