Abrahamson & Uiterwyk St. Petersburg, FL Car Accidents Truck Accidents Motorcycle Accidents

With over 30 years of experience in personal injury law, Mr. Abrahamson embraces the practice of working with clients on a contingency basis.

“A system of hiring an attorney on an hourly basis rewards inefficiency, creates delays and commonly creates negative issues between the lawyer and the client. Representing clients on a contingency basis in which the law firm earns a percentage of the settlement, however, is much more rewarding for the client and the attorneys. We have a common goal: to pursue the maximum recovery for the client. If there is no financial recovery (i.e. settlement or jury verdict), the client owes us nothing. It’s that simple, no fees or costs unless we win.”

A native of the Midwest, Mr. Abrahamson preserves the hard-working values of the region as a founding partner of Abrahamson & Uiterwyk.

While attending law school, Mr. Abrahamson was selected to be on Stetson’s prestigious Moot Court Team, where he was actively involved in competitions that tested his advocacy skills. He was honored by taking first place in the Stetson National Moot Court Competition and second place in the Stetson National Appellate Brief Competition. Mr. Abrahamson began his career working as a law clerk for various law firms while studying at Stetson University.

Following law school, Mr. Abrahamson practiced with the litigation firm of Park, Smith, Dayton, and Bugg, P.A. In 1989, he formed his own law firm with an emphasis in representing injured victims.
