About

The Crash That Changed Her World   Chelsie's interest in personal injury law was sparked after both she and her husband, David, were involved in a high-speed head-on crash while she was a law student. As Chelsie recovered from knee and back injuries she also cared for her husband, David,  who was permanently disabled as a result of the crash.  David underwent emergency jaw surgery and over the next few years, shoulder surgery, knee surgery and multiple injections in his spine.  He also sustained a mild traumatic brain injury in the crash.  This accident taught Chelsie, first hand, how the carelessness of a stranger can inflict serious physical and financial damage to a family and, as she would later discover, planted the seed for her interest in personal injury law.   Overcoming Obstacles   The crash was not the first time that Chelsie was presented with an obstacle which she overcame.  Born in Batavia, New York to working class parents Chelsie was determined to be the first person in her family to graduate from college.  Due to her family's financial struggles and frequent moves searching for work, Chelsie decided to leave high school two years early and obtain her GED so that she could start college immediately.  Chelsie moved to Florida to attend the University of Tampa on a scholarship and worked part-time to put herself through school.  Chelsie graduated cum laude with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology in less than three years. Chelsie went on to earn her Juris Doctor (law degree) at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Florida. Despite working two part-time jobs while managing a full-time course load, Chelsie was the recipient of the prestigious Victor O. Wehle Trial Advocacy Award and was a top four finalist in Stetson's Phi Alpha Delta’s Opening Statement and Closing Argument competitions.   Trained By The Insurance Companies, Fighting For The Injured   After graduating from the University of Tampa, Chelsie worked as an automobile and general liability claims adjuster for a large insurance company. Chelsie was trained by the insurance company to evaluate and settle the claims of injury victims.  After earning her law degree, Chelsie went to work as an insurance defense lawyer. She represented many well known insurance companies and attended numerous conferences and workshops in order to learn how to defend against and minimize the recovery of injury victims.  As an accident survivor and caretaker of an injury victim, Chelsie soon found that she morally could not justify working for the big insurance companies.  She knew that it was time to take what she had learned after years of working inside the insurance industry and use it to fight for the rights of injury victims.  As a former adjuster and insurance defense lawyer, Chelsie understands what motivates adjusters and insurance companies to settle claims and how to obtain the best possible results for her injured clients.   Making a Difference in the Community   Chelsie is admitted to practice in all Florida courts as well as the United States District Court. She is a member of the Florida Justice Association; the Clearwater Bar Association; the Hillsborough County Bar Association; the Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers; the Young Lawyers Division of the Florida Bar and the National Crime Victim Bar.  Chelsie has served as Chair of the Clearwater Bar's Civil Practice Division and as co-Chair of the Clearwater Bar's Summer Legal Intern Program.    Chelsie is as dedicated to her community as she is to her clients. She enjoys spending her free time volunteering with underprivileged children, distributing food and supplies to the homeless, and as a motivational speaker at local high schools.   Wife and Mom  Chelsie resides in Clearwater, Florida with her husband of fifteen years, David, and their two sons, Michael and Henry. Both Chelsie and David have a passion for scuba diving and international travel.  Their goal is to visit every country in the world before age 65.  So far, with over 38 countries visited, they are well on their way!  One of their favorite things to do while traveling is to visit local schools and interact with children.  When visiting third world countries they always bring school supplies and personal hygiene kits to distribute to the less fortunate.

Chelsie diligently went to bat for me after the traumatic back to back car accidents I experienced last summer. Her main concern was for me to get well & not suffer from any more pain. My cases weren't huge but she didn't sweep me under the rug because she knew it mattered to me & she saw how the physical & financial strain was negatively affecting my way of life, at no fault of my own. I've never encountered such intelligent, down to earth, empowering and kind women as Chelsie and her team of paralegals. She is the only attorney i'd ever entrust with my well being. THANK YOU CHELSIE!!!

Chelsie is without a doubt an exceptional personal injury attorney, and is one of the best in Pinellas county. She is compassionate, but is also fierce and tenacious. She employs a staff that will walk you through your experience with not only professionalism, but with a personal touch as well. She changed my life and helped my family through a terrible ordeal, we are so fortunate to have been referred to Chelsie.

When me and my husband got in a car accident she was our lawyer. She did a good job and we were very happy. I have recommended her to my friends and let them know if she needs an accident to call Chelsie Lamie.

Chelsie was very professional and caring! She understood my personal situation and worked hard to settle my case quickly while doing everything to ensure that I would receive a maximum settlement amount. I would recommend Chelsie to anyone looking for a competent, aggressive and responsive lawyer.

Even though I would not wish the type of accident I had on anyone, I have to say meeting and being Chelsie Lamie was the brightest experience to come from this whole event. She returned calls within 24 hours and kept me fully informed of everything that happened along the way. She was toatlly knowledgeable and explained how everything was going to play out. It was like being at a Bucs game and getting play by play detail. I have taken it upon myself to recommend her to anyone I know who is in need of a personal injury lawyer. I have even placed her business card on our bulletin boards at work. She has done a GREAT job. And as a side note, after the settlement she even arranged for my wife and I to meet with a financial advisor. She went above and beyond in my opinion. She really cares about who she represents.
