Areas of Practice

Workers’ Compensation: Over her 31-year career, Wendy Loquasto has been involved in workers’ compensation appeals, first as a staff attorney at the First District Court of Appeal, which has exclusive jurisdiction over workers’ compensation appeals, and then as a private attorney representing claimants on appeal. She works closely with the claimant’s trial counsel to appeal or defend workers’ compensation orders, both final and nonfinal, and to pursue any necessary extraordinary writs.

Civil Appeals and Personal Injury: Wendy has also represented clients in personal injury appeals. She has experience in appeals involving the Neurological Injury Compensation Act (NICA) for children who suffer injuries at birth and all sorts of summary judgment appeals.

Original Writ Proceedings: Wendy has initiated and defended clients in original proceedings for writs of certiorari, prohibition, and mandamus, including review of orders denying disqualification of trial judges and granting discovery.

Although Wendy has also represented clients in family law, criminal law and postconviction matters, termination of parental rights and dependency rulings, guardianship, and probate appeals, she is currently limiting her practice to workers’ compensation and civil appeals.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements.
