Farmer & Fitzgerald, P.A.

Aggressive representation in the areas of Criminal Defense and Civil Rights

Recognized for Excellence

Established in 1991, the law firm of Farmer & Fitzgerald is recognized for excellence by the most prestigious lawyer rating services in the country.

U.S. News and World Report has recognized Farmer & Fitzgerald as one of the Best Law Firms in the nation for criminal defense and civil rights. We are the only law firm in Tampa to be recognized in both areas of law. Farmer & Fitzgerald has served clients in Tampa and afar for over 26 years.

Martindale-Hubbell, the oldest attorney-rated service in the country, has given Farmer and Fitzgerald P.A., and both named partners, Matt Farmer and Timothy J. Fitzgerald, AV ratings, the highest possible ratings a lawyer can achieve for both legal skills and ethics. These ratings are based on peer reviews from other attorneys who are familiar with an attorney's work. We have achieved this rating every year for the last 15 years.

Florida's Best Lawyers Magazine, based on the opinions of fellow lawyers, named Farmer & Fitzgerald to its list of the best attorneys in the State of Florida. The method used to compile Best Lawyers has remained unchanged since the first edition was compiled more than 25 years ago. Lawyers listed in Best Lawyers are chosen for inclusion based solely on the vote of their peers. Listings cannot be bought, and no purchase is required to be included. In this regard, Best Lawyers remains the gold standard of reliability and integrity in lawyer ratings. Voting lawyers were provided this general guideline for determining if a nominee should be listed among "the best": "If you had a close friend or relative who needed a criminal defense lawyer and you could not handle the case yourself, to whom would you refer them?" We are honored that so many of our fellow lawyers attested they would send a close friend or family member to our firm for representation.
