About Desiree
A 2011 graduate of Florida Coastal School of Law, Desiree Zornow practices law in Florida. She completed her studies as the state was still absorbing changes from the last decade of legal education reforms. Her training at Florida Coastal provided a foundation in courtroom procedure and client advocacy, the skills she has carried into her professional life.
Zornow began her post-law school career in Florida courts. Over the years she has worked on cases that required both negotiation and litigation. That mix of experience informs how she approaches claims today. She pays attention to the details other lawyers sometimes overlook and prioritizes clear communication with clients about risks, timelines and likely outcomes.
She is admitted to practice in Florida and maintains current professional memberships. Those connections keep her plugged into state practice developments and peer discussions on evidence, medical expert practice and evolving jury expectations. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical. She prepares cases so hearings and depositions are efficient and purposeful.
At Catania & Catania Injury Lawyers, Zornow handles matters arising from accidents and physical injury. The firm’s name signals the practice area, and her work centers on representing individuals who have been hurt in motor vehicle crashes, slip-and-fall incidents and other personal injury scenarios. She evaluates medical records, coordinates with treating providers and negotiates with insurers to seek recovery for medical costs, lost income and other damages. When settlement talks stall, she has taken cases into court to press claims before a judge or jury.
Clients receive practical counsel about the legal process and realistic expectations about timing and potential recovery. Zornow also spends time reviewing case strategy with her colleagues at the firm. That collaborative review helps refine legal theories and ensures evidence is marshalled effectively. She balances client conversations about the human impact of injuries with the technical work of proving negligence.
Outside the courtroom, she follows developments in Florida personal injury law and attends professional programs to stay current on trial practice and evidentiary trends. Her work is steady rather than flashy. She currently focuses on personal injury cases at Catania & Catania Injury Lawyers.
