No. 01 — The Counsel
Family-owned. Two brothers, one firm — Peter and Paul Catania have stood beside thousands of injured Floridians, recovering more than half a billion dollars for the people insurance companies tried to overlook.
No. 02 — The Brothers
Peter began his career defending insurance companies. Paul never did. In 1992 they opened a single office on Kennedy Boulevard and made a quiet promise — to spend the rest of their practice on the other side of that table.
Founding Partner · South Tampa
"In 1992, I established Catania & Catania with my brother Paul to represent the people — not the powerful corporations."
Founding Partner · Tampa Bay
"I love being a lawyer; it's the best choice I've ever made."
No. 02-C — The Firm Behind the Brothers
The brothers keep the firm small by design — but never thin. Experienced trial attorneys and staff work alongside them on every file.
Injury Attorney · Tampa
The next generation of the Catania family practice — carrying the same standard the brothers built since 1992.

A representative sample of recoveries Peter and Paul have obtained for clients. Each case is unique. Each result reflects the facts, the law, and the discipline applied to that specific file.
Family of a Hillsborough County resident killed in a preventable commercial-vehicle collision.

No. 04 — The Promise
When you sign with Catania & Catania, one of the brothers works your file. That has been true for 34 years and it will be true for the next case we open. The firm has stayed small on purpose — because the kind of attention a family deserves cannot be franchised.
From Bank of America Plaza in downtown Tampa, we represent injured clients across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, and Sarasota counties — with satellite offices in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, and Bradenton, available by appointment.
No. 06 — The Process
A six-step roadmap. No mystery. No padding the file. You will know where your case stands at every stage — by phone, by mail, or in person.
We listen. You ask. No fee, no obligation, and no high-pressure pitch — just a clear read on whether you have a case.
Police records, medical records, surveillance, photographs, witness statements — preserved before evidence walks.
A formal, documented demand package goes to every responsible carrier. Numbers on paper. A timeline.
We negotiate with insurance counsel directly. If the offer is wrong, you hear it from us — and we file suit.
Most cases resolve. The ones that do not are tried by the brothers themselves — not handed off, not outsourced.
Settlement is funded. Liens negotiated. Funds disbursed. Statement closed. You return to your life with the support you were owed.
No. 07 — In Their Words
Selected reviews from clients across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, and Sarasota counties.
Catania and Catania is really amazing. Efficient, reliable — and they treated me like family from the very first phone call.
Peter took my call personally. After a year of being shuffled around by another firm, that meant everything. They handled the rest.
Paul stayed in front of my case for two years. The settlement came in higher than what the adjuster offered — by a lot. I trust them entirely.
No. 08 — Common Questions
If your question is not here, call (813) 222-8656 or use the form — the brothers will personally see it.
No. 09 — Free Case Evaluation
Send a few details and one of the brothers — Peter or Paul — or a member of the firm will call you back within 24 hours. The consultation is free and confidential.
