About John
Biography
I am a diehard bicycle commuter, making the 6-mile trek each way on the streets of Maryland and DC daily. I've been commuting by bike for the past 10 years, rain or shine. Not only does this keep me in semi-decent shape, it really gives me a good perspective for the bicycle accident cases we handle in DC, Maryland and Virginia. I hope you will visit our website - - and check out the bicycle riders FAQs we put together. You'll also find the local laws (DC, MD & VA) relating to cycling. Be safe!

Review for John B. Mesirow
Mr. Mesirow (he asks me to call him John), has impeccable character. He is honest and really tells the brutal truth. He works for his clients just as brutally. I have never called him and have not been greeted with sincerity, as he knows me and whatever is happening with me without running for a f...

Incredibly Helpful
John walked me through the entire process after I was injured in a car accident. He answered all of my questions (even the ones I didn't know I had) and got me the best settlement possible.

Patient and insightful
I was involved an accident when I was riding and my bike hump into the back of the car. And he told me the safety distance is important which is the reason I should be responsible for it.
