Free & Confidential
No Recovery, No Fee
Quiet, deliberate work for families navigating the worst kind of phone call.
Belleh & Okolo Law Group is a boutique practice founded by two trial-tested attorneys who chose to focus, deeply, on a small set of cases that demand it. Most of our clients come to us after a parent, spouse, or sibling has been seriously hurt, and they want a lawyer who will pick up the phone, not a marketing machine that funnels them through a queue.
We serve clients across Florida, Nebraska, and Iowa, and we keep our caseload small enough to give every family the time their case actually requires.
A narrow focus, by design
We don’t take every personal injury case. We take the ones where the harm runs deepest and the opponents, insurance carriers, corporate operators, and institutional defendants, are the most resourced.
Boutique by intention. Reach by design.

What to expect when you reach out
Most of our clients have never hired a lawyer for something this serious. The process should feel clear, not intimidating. Here is what happens after you contact us.
Call or send a message anytime. A real person, not a marketing screener, hears your story and routes it to the right attorney for your state and case type.
We meet by phone or video, gather records, and tell you honestly whether we believe there is a case worth pursuing. There is no pressure, and no fee for this conversation.
If we take the case, we move quickly to preserve evidence: facility records, driver logs, surveillance, medical files, and expert opinions before anything is lost or revised.
From demand to settlement or verdict, you work directly with the attorney handling your file. Updates come in plain language. The next step is always known.
Two practices, one focused firm
Jerome and Owei built Belleh & Okolo Law Group together because they wanted the kind of practice where clients meet their lawyer and stay with their lawyer, from first call through final resolution.
Owei Belleh
Florida
Owei is a Florida-licensed attorney admitted to practice before all three federal districts in Florida and the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. With jury and bench trial experience and a record of successful appellate arguments, he brings courtroom-tested advocacy to every client he represents.
Jerome Okolo
Nebraska · Iowa
Licensed in Nebraska and Iowa, Jerome brings a rare edge to personal injury representation: years of corporate management and litigation experience that give him a first-hand understanding of how insurance carriers and corporate defendants think. A first-generation immigrant and naturalized U.S. citizen, Jerome is personally committed to helping injured individuals overcome hardship and move forward stronger.
