Ferman<\/p>\n<p>RJS Law Group (RJS) has served Ruskin and Tampa\u2019s English and Spanish-speaking clients with legal representation since 2002.  <\/p>\n<p>The law group consists of three main lawyers: Brandon Kolb, who primarily handles traffic defense; Ana Salinas, who oversees personal injury cases, probate cases, trust-related cases and wills; and Rolando Santiago, founder and managing partner of RJS, who works on real estate, business law and personal injury cases. All RJS employees are natively fluent in both English and Spanish. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a large client base of people who are first-generation immigrants and so their English is extremely limited. To discuss technical issues can be challenging. It is not challenging for us,\u201d Santiago said. <\/p>\n<p>Their expertise in taking on cases for Spanish speakers has earned them a reputation locally and internationally. RJS has taken on numerous personal injury litigation cases, including in Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador and Japan. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"100929\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.ospreyobserver.com\/2026\/05\/bilingual-legal-team-at-rjs-law-group-serves-tampa-and-beyond\/image002-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ospreyobserver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image002.jpg?fit=1704%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1704,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image002\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Rolando J.
