Renowned Personal Injury Law Firm Jacoby & Meyers Opens First South Florida Office

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 06, 2009 – Jacoby & Meyers Law Offices is pleased to announce the opening of its new Miami office and recent affiliation with trial lawyer, Sarah Steinbaum. Jacoby & Meyers, a nationally renowned personal injury law firm, has a long-standing history of   fighting for victims’ rights as well as helping clients and their families obtain affordable legal assistance.
   “I am thrilled to be affiliated with the Jacoby & Meyers and proud to offer Floridians the quality legal services this firm has provided across the country for almost forty years,” said Steinbaum.
   Steinbaum handles all areas of civil litigation including professional, general and product liability. She focuses on the areas of professional liability work and first party claims with a concentration in medical malpractice, personal injury, wrongful death, civil and commercial litigation and nursing home negligence and abuse.
   Steinbaum earned a bachelor-of-arts degree from Rice University in Houston and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Miami School of Law where she served as President of the Moot Court Board and received honorary membership in The Society of the Bar and Gavel and the Order of Barristers. Steinbaum was honored by the University of Miami Forum for Women and the law as "A Woman Who Makes a Difference." Following her law school education, she practiced with two large Miami defense law firms: Kubicki Draper and McGrane & Nosich. In 2008 Steinbaum was selected by her peers to be listed among the state's “Legal Elite” in Florida Trend magazine and earned a BV rating for excellence from Martindale-Hubbell.
   “When Jacoby & Meyers was founded, professionals were not allowed to advertise or publicly discuss their practices,” said Steinbaum. “This lack of information and open competition kept fees artificially high and gave lawyers little incentive to operate efficiently or at the convenience of their clients.”
   Realizing the need for change, the law firm of Jacoby & Meyers spearheaded the landmark Supreme Court case Jacoby & Meyers vs. California Supreme Court, consequently protecting the rights of free speech and the public's right to be informed. These pioneering efforts removed prohibitions and opened the doors for professional commercial advertising of legal services.
   Jacoby & Meyers is especially proud of the advertising campaign designed for the Florida market. The campaign incorporates real clients of the firm in the advertising materials to demonstrate the Firm’s commitment to representing people of all ethnic groups, races, nationalities, ages, socio-economic levels, creeds, genders, and sexual orientations.
   “We are so pleased to have clients who were ready and willing to be photographed as supporters of the firm and the legal work we do,” said Steinbaum. “The ad campaign contains photographs of current and past firm clients who are of Hispanic, Haitian, African-American and Caucasian descent that vary in ages and religious affiliations.”
