FIRM HISTORY :

The roots for Pallo, Marks & Hernandez, P.A. began in 1997 when founding partner, Keith R. Pallo, determined that the needs of the firm's defense clients would be best served by the formation of a firm which specialized in the representation of workers’ compensation, insurance carriers and their insured, self-insured groups, third party administrators and governmental agencies.

Due to the successful initiation of its growth strategy, combined with a reputation for providing clients with quality, cost-effective representation, the firm quickly grew and within 5 years of opening its doors, has tripled in size and locations, and has expanded its areas of practice to include medical malpractice, personal injury,
insurance coverage issues, and labor and employment issues.
