"Mike Meksraitis and I attended the College of Law at the Florida State University: I was in the first class and he was the year behind me. He has always been one of the best trial lawyers I know. That requires thorough preparation and exhaustive--and exhausting--knowledge of the law. You cannot do better!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"When I run across a serious injury case, I call Michael Meksraitis. His ability to spot issues that turn what look like small cases into much larger cases is truly amazing. He never ceases to amaze me with his medical knowledge and his breadth of expertise. If I was involved in a serious accident, Michael Meksraitis would be one of the first calls I made. If you've been in an accident of any kind you need to call Michael, he gives straight answers and gets great results!"

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.
