Our Story

Advocates USA was built on a simple idea: injured people deserve the same caliber of representation that the largest insurance companies give themselves. Attorney Marcos Gonzalez spent years inside major insurance companies before he started representing injury victims — and he founded Advocates USA specifically to use that insider knowledge against the carriers that were denying, delaying, and minimizing legitimate claims across South Florida.

Twenty years later, that mission has produced over $500 million in recoveries for our clients, individual results up to $4 million, an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell (the highest peer-awarded rating in the legal profession), and a 4.9-star average across 55+ Google reviews. From our office at 6415 Lake Worth Road in Greenacres, we serve every community in Palm Beach County — and our case work extends throughout South Florida.

We are a trial-ready personal injury firm. Insurance companies settle for more when they know your attorney is genuinely prepared to take the case to a jury. That preparation is the foundation of every case we handle — from auto accidents on I-95 to work injuries in the western county, from slip and fall cases at Palm Beach County’s retail centers to catastrophic spinal cord and traumatic brain injury cases that demand life care planning and multimillion-dollar valuations.

Meet Attorney Marcos Gonzalez

Attorney Marcos Gonzalez, Personal Injury Lawyer in Palm Beach County

Attorney Marcos Gonzalez is the founder of Advocates USA and the lead trial attorney on every catastrophic case the firm handles. With over 20 years in Florida personal injury law and prior experience working inside major insurance companies, he brings a uniquely strategic perspective to every case — he knows how insurance adjusters evaluate claims, how defense attorneys build their arguments, and exactly how to dismantle both.

AV-Rated by Martindale-Hubbell. The AV rating represents the highest peer-awarded recognition in the legal profession — the “A” denotes the highest standard of legal ability and the “V” recognizes faithful adherence to ethical and professional standards. It is awarded by judges and fellow attorneys, not purchased through advertising.

$500M+ recovered. Marcos has personally led the work that has produced over half a billion dollars in compensation for South Florida injury victims, including individual results up to $4 million for a single client whose work accident produced partial paralysis.

Fluent in English and Spanish. Available 24/7. Free consultation. Call (877) 872-4878 to speak with the firm.

Our Team

Advocates USA is a small, dedicated team — every client works directly with the attorneys and paralegals handling their case. There is no client-hand-off and no junior associate filtering.

Marcos Gonzalez, Esq.

Founding Attorney — AV-Rated, 20+ years experience. Former insurance attorney. Lead trial counsel on every catastrophic case.

Angelica Padovani

Attorney — Lead case manager on a large share of our active matters. Frequently named by clients for her professionalism and aggressive case advocacy.

Brandy Guthrie

Senior Paralegal — 10+ years personal injury experience. Praised by clients for clear communication, thorough documentation, and personal warmth throughout the case.

Vanessa & Magbi

What Makes Advocates USA Different

Former Insurance Attorneys

Attorney Marcos Gonzalez worked inside major insurance companies before representing injured people. He knows every denial tactic, every fault-inflation argument, and every claim-evaluation playbook — and uses that insider knowledge against the carriers every day.

Trial-Ready, Not Settlement Mill

We prepare every case as if it will go to trial — because that preparation is what produces both better settlements and better jury verdicts. Insurance companies pay more when they know your attorney will actually go to court.

Direct Attorney Access

You will work directly with the attorneys and paralegals handling your case. No client hand-offs. No layers of junior associates. The same team from the first call through the final settlement check.

Hablamos Español

Our entire team is fully bilingual. We serve Palm Beach County’s substantial Spanish-speaking community with the same level of representation in their language, from intake through resolution. Immigration status does not affect your rights.

Available 24/7

Accidents do not follow a schedule. Neither do we. Call any hour and reach a person who can begin protecting evidence and answering your questions immediately.

No Fees Unless We Win

Contingency-fee representation. Zero upfront cost, zero hourly fees, zero payment unless we recover for you. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
