Any advice on the Tampa legal market? Looking to relocate and want to get the lay of the land. Which firms have the best balance of hours and compensation for a litigator? Do any firms have particular reputations?

It's really partner specific. I would say you can find some good firms with reasonable hours and decent pay. Here are ones I've heard good things about.

1800-1850: Shumaker (partner dependent, message for more info), Fisher Phillips, Trenam, Quarles, and Spencer Fane. - with Fisher, Quarles, and Spencer paying the most. --- Best WLB.

1900-1950 (higher pay less WLB): Carlton Fields, Gunster, Foley, Smith Gambrell, Bradley...

Of course, there are others as well. Also, a lot of firms have expanded to Tampa. Look out for those firms to get higher pay. i.e. Smith, Spencer, Stinson.

Very firm dependent. Some of the 1800s will be paid the same as the 1900s depending on your class year.

Following. I’m a Tampa native but don’t work for a firm so I’m not sure I have the insight you’re looking for. Happy to answer any other questions though.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
