In order to collect feedback on firm and attorney work within specific regions, Best Lawyers curates “metro areas.”
For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions—metro areas—to help us collect as much feedback and data for specific individuals, firms, and practice areas as possible. We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.
ABOUT US
For more than four decades, Best Lawyers lists have been compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for inclusion in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain on the list for each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be included on our lists.

STEVE
YERRID AND THE YERRID LAW FIRM continued a 40-plus-year tradition of excellence in all areas of civil trial law as courts safely reopened in 2022. The firm further solidified its local and national reputation for leadership in and out of the courtroom—from representing clients in high-stakes legal matters to supporting multiple philanthropic causes with both time and funding.
Headquartered in Tampa, serving clients throughout Florida, and the nation, the firm has obtained billions of dollars in verdicts, settlements and judgments. This includes Yerrid’s more than 300 individual recoveries in excess of $1 million in the areas of catastrophic injury, product liability, construction defects, medical malpractice, premises liability, trucking and motor vehicle accidents and various types of civil litigation.
“The firm is comprised of true leaders in the legal and local community who have their feet planted firmly on the ground,” said Yerrid, who has been continuously .included since 1989 in The Best Lawyers in America® for Personal Injury Litigation –Plaintiffs. Additionally, he has been named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers® in Tampa for both Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs (2014) and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs (2015 and 2025) on behalf of plaintiffs on numerous occasions. “Through our successes and advocacy I believe we have helped create a safer environment for clients, our citizenry and future generations.”
Under Yerrid’s leadership, the firm has taken on some of the largest and most well-monied entities in the country, almost always with favorable results. These achievements date back to the 1990s, when Yerrid was appointed by the late Gov. Lawton Chiles as the youngest member of the 11-member “Dream Team” of private lawyers and took a leading role in Florida’s landmark lawsuit against the previously unbeaten cigarette industry.
The case resulted in the biggest monetary settlement in U.S. history at the time, ultimately topping $17 billion. It also resulted in drastic advertising restrictions and halted the cigarette cartel and its pandering to America’s youth.
Recently, Yerrid and the firm represented the parents of a deceased 23-year-old woman against an acute longterm care facility. The woman’s death was caused by negligence, as two hospitalists’ erroneous diagnosis resulted in a lack of appropriate care. Discharged from a large Trauma One hospital and transferred to a long-term acute care facility in order to continue her long-term recovery, she was to be treated and followed for severe erosive gastritis in the duodenum. It was not done, the erosion continued and her gastrointestinal wall was perforated. She went into septic shock and passed away. The case proceeded to trial after the defendants offered “zero” in settlement. The jury awarded $15 million in damages to each parent for mental anguish, plus burial expenses of $7,502; the verdict total was $30,007,052. The case is now on appeal.
Yerrid and firm member Jeff Murphy represented victims of the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting at Mandalay Bay, which resulted in a settlement of $800 million for those injured and the families of those killed. The firm represented a husband and wife, both deputy sheriffs from Los Angeles, who were vacationing and attending an outdoor concert when a gunman opened fire from a hotel on the crowd below. The gunman killed 58 and wounded more than 500 during what was the deadliest mass shooting by a single person in the nation’s history.
The firm’s roster of seasoned trial lawyers is comprised of professionals from all walks of life. These diverse perspectives keep The Yerrid Law Firm at the forefront of trial practice and on the cutting edge of courtroom abilities.
“We understand what it takes to succeed at trial, and we continually reshape ways we present cases to juries,” Yerrid said. The impact of the many legal achievements obtained in the courtroom also extends to those in need through the philanthropic actions of The Yerrid Foundation. Over the years, the selffunded family foundation has donated millions of dollars and supported over 500 charitable causes.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread social unrest surrounding the criminal justice system in May 2021, Yerrid sought to reestablish trust, respect and communication between law enforcement and the public. To initiate the effort, Yerrid donated $100,000 to Metropolitan Ministries to create a “community model,” which has since been utilized in other localities as well. Through The Yerrid Foundation, 5,000 nonperishable “We Care” food boxes were created to feed families in distress and personally distributed by Tampa police officers and sheriff’s deputies throughout the neighborhoods they patrol.
Additionally, his partnerships with the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning and the City of Tampa have treated more than 100,000 pediatric cancer patients, their families and caregivers to a night of hockey and cancer awareness over the last 24 years. The annual Tampa Bay Fights Cancer Night has continued despite the unprecedented challenges caused by the pandemic.
“We fight passionately for our clients and their causes,” Yerrid said. “With the Foundation, I am able to support people who need help and simply deserve a chance in life. Justice and compassion for others fuel my soul. I believe that what you put into the world is what you receive in return, and that philosophy permeates everything we do at The Yerrid Law Firm and The Yerrid Foundation.”

Mindi M. Richter
Copyright Law
Tampa, Fla.
Since 2004, Mindi M. Richter has established a reputation as an experienced trial lawyer, primarily focusing her efforts on litigating intellectual property cases of all varieties, including claims such as trademark, patent and copyright infringement.
Starting at Tampa-based firm Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP in 2007, Richter now serves as partner as well as a board-certified intellectual property law specialist in the state of Florida.
Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2018, Richter is currently honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Copyright Law in Tampa for 2025.
“Intellectual property is a rewarding and interesting area of the law to practice because it is constantly developing and changing as technologies evolve. The law often does not keep pace with the developing technologies, which leaves gray areas on where the law stands on certain issues,” said Richter.
Accustomed to tackling litigation, Richter has a vast amount of experience in transactional intellectual property matters, regularly counseling clients in developing patent, copyright and trademark portfolios and handles trademark and copyright prosecution matters.
“This requires creativity in navigating the gray areas successfully to achieve positive results for clients. It is also very rewarding to help clients grow their businesses and achieve success by identifying and protecting their intellectual property,” she said.
Outside the ever-evolving intellectual property litigation landscape, Richter counsels and guides clients in negotiating, developing and drafting licenses, assignments and other intellectual property contracts. Additionally, she frequently weighs in on specific intellectual property aspects of mergers, acquisitions and financing.
“A frequently filed copyright claim right now is alleged infringement for use of images online without a license. These claims, sometimes called copyright troll claims, are crowding the courts and typically involve intimidation by the copyright holder demanding large payments to avoid a lawsuit when there is often little to no damage claim and the infringement, if it exists, is innocent,” said Richter.
Richter said she frequently defends against “troll” claims by pushing back through many legal channels.
“While a copyright holder is of course entitled to protect and defend its copyright and at times is entitled to compensation for unlicensed uses, copyrights should not be used as improper weapons to receive unjustified compensation,” said Richter.
Richter believes that stellar business acumen is key to being an effective lawyer in intellectual property.
“I think a great intellectual property attorney takes the time and effort to really understand a client’s business and help ensure their intellectual property is developed and protected in the most efficient and practical manner in order to achieve the client’s goals,” said Richter.
Tampa Appeals Court Keeps Education Referendum on the Ballot
By Gregory Sirico
THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY COMMISSION must allow a one mill tax referendum to appear on the November 2024 ballot, voiding the original blockage, a Tampa appeals court judge has ruled, affirming a lower court decision.
“They sent a clear message today that this decision will be up to the residents of Hillsborough County,” said Superintendent Van Ayres in response to the Aug. 19 ruling, underlining the crucial role of the Hillsborough and greater Tampa community in shaping the future of the county’s education system.
The Hillsborough school board originally approved putting the millage—a tax rate used to calculate local property taxes—on the ballot in April. Estimates predicted the one mill tax referendum would raise $177 million in additional funding and revenue for the Hillsborough County Schools district.
According to the school district, the bulk of that money would fund teacher salaries and school support staff, and updated student resources.
The school board has since been blindsided. While the school board was prepared for the education referendum to be included on the upcoming November ballot, the Hillsborough County Commission voted on July 17 to delay including the education referendum on the ballot until 2026.
The Hillsborough County Public Schools board voted to take legal action against the county commission for blocking the contentious tax referendum on July 23.
“I think that as citizens, we need to be concerned that the system who allows us to speak to a very important issue has been shut down,” said Renalie DuBose, a professor at Cooley Law School with a nearly 45-year background in the U.S. public education system.
“Hillsborough County is the seventh-largest district in the nation with over 200,000 children going to school every day, and we need to give every one of
those children the best opportunity possible to have a high-class education.”
Advocates of the education referendum, including local educators, state government or general voters, argue the decision could subject Hillsborough County teachers and other staff to an additional two years with some of the lowest salaries in the state.
After the Hillsborough County Board filed claims against the county commission, the case was transferred to the Second District Court of Appeals.
As is the case repeatedly with election ballots, some voters already have their minds made up, while others still have a chance to level the educational playing field for students and teachers within the Hillsborough County Public Schools.
“As citizens, we need to be concerned that a system that allows us to speak to a very important issue has been shut down.”
“We have over almost 183,000 students, and my goal is to ensure that we have phenomenal classroom teachers, but I sit here right now and I’ve got over 400 vacancies that I currently sit with,” said Hillsborough Superintendent Van Ayres.
“Over the next few months, it will be our responsibility to educate the community on the need for the additional funding and how the money will be spent to ensure every student in our district has the best classroom experience possible.”

ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER…
Hall of Fame lawyer Steve Yerrid, a Georgetown University Law Center graduate, has long been one of the country’s top catastrophic injury and wrongful death trial attorneys, having secured more than 300 verdicts and settlements of $1 million or more.
A Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” award winner several times in the areas of Personal Injury Litigation –Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs, which he received again this year, he has been included in The Best Lawyers in America® since the 3rd edition for Personal Injury Litigation.
By Justin Smulison
EVEN AFTER YEARS OF ACHIEVING groundbreaking verdicts and resolutions, Steve Yerrid feels the same energy that drove him when he entered his first trial. “I will stay in the courtroom as long as I can perform in the manner I am accustomed to, keep my edge and see justice delivered,” Yerrid says.
“Legal battles in catastrophic cases tap into my fighting spirit,” he says from The Yerrid Law Firm’s Tampa headquarters. The boxing metaphors are not hyperbole–Yerrid was known for winning in the ring prior to passing the bar, and in 2011, was voted into the Florida Boxing Hall of Fame. That same grit has characterized his career, which includes Yerrid’s more than 300 individual verdicts and settlements in excess of $1 million in catastrophic injury, wrongful death, product liability, construction
“‘Everyone should have a shot at happiness, success and living the American dream…’ That mantra led to the formation of The Yerrid Foundation almost four decades ago.”
defects, medical malpractice, premises liability, vehicular accidents, commercial disputes and a broad range of civil litigation. Several of these verdicts were eight- and nine-figure results.
“I have been blessed with an ability to give help to people who need it most,” Yerrid says. “I am so grateful and proud of our firm’s accomplishments when I recall the large record of the success we have achieved.” Yerrid has been named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers in Tampa for both Personal Injury Litigation (2014) and Medical Malpractice Law (2015 and 2025) on behalf of plaintiffs on numerous occasions. He received the latter again this year. “People sometimes ask why I still love the courtroom, and I quickly answer, ‘It is a place where magic happens. Why would I leave it?’ I rarely consider slowing down, especially when I see a new client who has suffered unimaginable losses or irreparable harm. The need to be their warrior grabs my soul and provides the almost unlimited energy I need for trial. Of course, winning incentivizes me, and a client’s justice is my joy.”
Current Battles and Landmark Victories
Yerrid, acting as lead counsel alongside his partner, David Dickey, recently tried a case and represented the parents of a 23-yearold woman whose death was caused by the negligence of two hospitalists at an acute longterm care facility. Their erroneous diagnosis and lack of appropriate care resulted in this young lady losing her life and her parents losing their dreams. Discharged from a large Trauma One hospital and transferred to a long-term acute care facility in order to continue her long-term recovery, she was to be treated and followed for severe erosive gastritis in the duodenum. It was not done, the erosion continued and her gastrointestinal wall was perforated. She went into septic shock and passed away. The defendants offered “zero” in settlement and the case proceeded to trial. The jury awarded $15 million in damages to each parent for mental anguish, plus burial expenses of $7,502. The verdict total was $30,007,502. The case is now on appeal.
Yerrid’s effectiveness in the courtroom is reflected in the results, as The Yerrid Law Firm routinely and consistently obtains multimilliondollar verdicts and settlements—as well as truly meaningful justice for the clients.
These accomplishments include a historic verdict for Allan Navarro, a former professional basketball player born and raised in the Philippines, who visited a Florida emergency room for an excruciating headache, double vision and some dizziness. A non-physician misdiagnosed the symptoms as sinusitis and sent him home. The symptoms were left untreated and by the next day the ongoing stroke caused
Navarro to become a quadriplegic.
Yerrid teamed up with Tampa veteran lawyer, Rich Gilbert in taking the case to trial to fight for justice for Navarro. A $217 million verdict was obtained for the client and his family. The result was the largest medical malpractice verdict in Florida’s history, and the top national jury verdict of its kind in 2006.
“That result was consistent with our firm’s mission and, of course, extremely satisfying to Allan and his outstanding family,” Yerrid recalls. “We not only secured justice, but also enhanced the safety and welfare of patients and health care consumers elsewhere. Resultant policy changes in many hospitals now explicitly require ER medical doctors to thoroughly diagnose and treat patients before anyone can be discharged.”
One of the most enduring generational achievements occurred in the 1990s, when Yerrid was selected by the late Gov. Lawton Chiles as the youngest member of the 11-member “Dream Team” of private trial lawyers. He took a leading role in Florida’s landmark lawsuit against the previously unbeaten cigarette industry. The case resulted in the biggest monetary settlement in the nation’s history at the time, ultimately topping $17 billion. The settlement also imposed drastic advertising restrictions against the cigarette cartel as well as severe prohibitions designed to halt pandering cigarettes to America’s youth by eliminating Joe Camel, the Marlboro Man, Virginia Slims, billboards and cigarette vending machines. The settlement also helped fund the Truth campaign and launch programs targeting nicotine addiction and treatment. For the first time, Florida’s Dream Team truly exposed the horrific costs of cigarettes to the entire country. As a result in the decades that have followed, millions of lives have been saved.
“Malicious and negligent actions have consequences that can last lifetimes,” says Yerrid, who is also the author of the heralded non-fiction legal memoir, When Justice Prevails. “It is a great feeling to be a part of America’s system of justice. Ours is a legal system capable of addressing and preventing a huge number of tragedies and injustices as well as providing an equal opportunity to fight to those who otherwise would be powerless.”
The Yerrid Foundation Achieves Goals in Florida and Beyond
Yerrid is also privileged and humbled to be recognized as one of Florida’s most well-known and popular philanthropists. His courtroom feats have monetarily enhanced his ability to give back and help causes that fostered his own personal growth and bolstered his understanding of the common person left too often without a voice. It brought financial support to his core

belief “…that everyone should have a shot at happiness, success and living the American dream…” That mantra led to the formation of The Yerrid Foundation almost four decades ago. The self-funded family foundation has made significant donations to more than 700 causes and charitable organizations locally, nationally and even internationally, with an emphasis on children’s issues, pediatric cancer research, the welfare of veterans and domestic abuse victims.
Hockey fans know firsthand of The Yerrid Foundation’s impact. Its partnership with the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning for the annual Tampa Bay Fights Cancer Night has dramatically raised awareness for all those children/families who are battling or have fought that dreaded disease. In the 24 years of this special event, the Foundation and the Lightning have treated more than 100,000 pediatric cancer patients, their families and caregivers to a night of hockey, food, special shirts and a post-game “meet and greet” with the Lightning players.
“Providing special moments for these brave, strong children and all those who are affected by cancer, is incredibly gratifying,” Yerrid says. “Every person who participates in this unique experience leaves with a smile that comes from pure happiness, a night free from struggles and memories that will last a lifetime. The work of the Foundation renews and strengthens my own faith in the unmatched joy of giving.”

“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS
These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
