Our attorneys come from trial backgrounds on both sides of the aisle. That experience shapes how we evaluate a claim, how we prepare it, and how we decide when an offer is worth taking seriously.
Our Attorneys
Tampa Bay's Trial Bench
Every case at Marchetti & Vance is assigned to a partner who stays with it through resolution. You will not be handed off to a case manager after the first meeting, and the attorney who signs your file is the one who will stand up in court if it comes to that.
Elena Marchetti, Esq.
Elena Marchetti, Esq.
Founding Partner
Elena spent the first seven years of her career defending commercial trucking companies and their insurers, work that taught her exactly how those claims are valued internally long before any demand is made. She moved to the plaintiff's side in 2011 and now leads the firm's trucking and catastrophic injury practice. Opposing counsel know her for exhaustive deposition preparation and for declining offers that most firms would have recommended their clients accept.

Daniel Vance, Esq.
Daniel Vance, Esq.
Managing Partner
Daniel spent six years in the Hillsborough County Public Defender's Office, trying cases to verdict at a volume almost unheard of in civil practice. That repetition shapes how this firm approaches preparation and jury selection in particular. He handles the firm's wrongful death and premises liability matters and oversees which cases the firm accepts, a role he treats as the most consequential decision in any representation.

Priya Raman, Esq.
Priya Raman, Esq.
Partner
Priya worked as a registered nurse in critical care for nine years before attending law school, and that clinical background is central to how she handles medical negligence claims. She reads a chart the way a treating clinician does, which routinely surfaces causation issues that outside experts miss on a first review. She leads the firm's medical negligence practice and consults on catastrophic injury matters involving complex treatment histories.
