About The Marin Law Offices
Why Choose Us
Information about the firm differentiators at The Marin Law Offices, a South Florida personal injury practice based in Miami Beach.
- 8x Super Lawyers Rising Star recognition
- Federal-court admissions across Florida
- Free consultations in English and Spanish
Why Clients Choose The Marin Law Offices
The firm is built around one principle: clients should know what is happening on their case at any given moment, and the lawyer who reviews their file should be the same lawyer they speak with on the phone. That is a different model than many South Florida injury volume practices.
Donny Marin is personally bilingual in English and Spanish, which means consultations and case communication run end-to-end in either language without interpreter handoffs. For a client base that is heavily bilingual, that changes how the case feels.
The office is at 1000 5th Street in Miami Beach. The practice covers Miami-Dade Circuit and the Southern District of Florida federal court, plus maritime cases out of PortMiami where federal forum-selection clauses apply.

Representative Workflow
What Direct-Attorney-Access Looks Like in Practice
The Problem
A new client calls late on a Friday after an at-fault adjuster requests a recorded statement first thing Monday morning. The client is anxious and unsure what to say.
Our Approach
Donny answers the call directly, walks through the recorded-statement issue, drafts the language to decline, and routes the adjuster's contact to the firm before Monday. No paralegal queue, no callback delay.
The Outcome
The recorded statement is declined cleanly. The client starts the week with the case being protected, not with a transcript of a recorded statement working against the future demand.

Why Choose Us Questions
Where is the firm located? +
The Marin Law Offices is at 1000 5th Street, Suite 200, Miami Beach, FL 33139. The office is on Miami Beach, with consultations available by phone, video, or in person by appointment.
How long has the firm been in practice? +
Lead attorney Donny Marin has been in practice for over fifteen years, with eight years of Super Lawyers Rising Star recognition starting in 2009 and continuing through 2017. The firm has handled cases across the Florida state courts, federal trial courts, and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
What languages does the firm work in? +
English and Spanish. Lead attorney Donny Marin is personally fluent in both languages. Full case work, including consultations, court appearances, depositions, and document review, is available in either language.
Does the firm handle cases outside South Florida? +
The firm primarily serves Miami-Dade and Broward, with extensive maritime and federal-court practice. Cases arising outside South Florida are evaluated case-by-case, with referrals provided when the firm is not the right fit for a specific case.
How quickly can I schedule a consultation? +
Often same-day. Call (305) 482-9701 or submit the contact form. The firm aims to respond within one business day at the latest, and most prospective clients speak with the attorney by phone or video within 48 hours.
How long do I have to file? +
Florida's statute of limitations for most negligence-based injury claims is two years from the date of injury for accidents on or after March 24, 2023. Government-entity and maritime claims often have shorter notice deadlines that can run in months. Acting early protects every available option.
What if I was partially at fault? +
Florida applies modified comparative negligence. Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault and barred only if you are more than 50 percent at fault. Documented evidence typically reduces overstated fault arguments in negotiation.
Do you offer consultations in Spanish? +
Yes. The firm handles full case work in English and Spanish, including consultations, court appearances, and document review. Lead attorney Donny Marin is personally fluent in both languages, and case communication continues in your preferred language.
What if my situation does not match anything on this page exactly? +
That is normal. Every case has its own facts, and general educational content cannot anticipate every variation. The free consultation translates the general framework into a case-specific plan, including the deadlines that apply to your dates, the coverage layers that apply to your policies, and the evidence priorities that apply to your facts. The 20 to 45 minute conversation typically produces a clear written recap by email afterward.
