One of the best darn lawyers in Tampa, Fl.

Monica Strickland is one of the best darn lawers in Tampa, Florida. She is well prepared, trustworthy, responsive, knowlegeable, and kept me very much informed about my case. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a lawyer's services. The bottom line is "don't do the crime unless you are prepa...red to do the time." Regardless, call Monica for the best outcome possible.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
