Narrow down to city and practice.

No clue, sorry.

This isn’t a cut and dry answer. There are many quality litigators at firms across tampa. A lot depends on your personality, your speciality, and your desired long-term career goals. Some people belong in biglaw; others don’t. Some people thrive in boutiques or working remotely. High-end PI trial lawyers have a very different practice and have honed different skills than biglaw business litigators. Lots of toxic lit groups in tampa though… best bet is to find a great mentor that will invest in you and join their team. Those people exist and will make your career.

Well said. This goes for any practice.
