La Cava Jacobson Attorneys Named to The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America®, 2027 Editions

TAMPA, FL – August 20, 2026 – La Cava Jacobson is pleased to announce that eight of its attorneys have been recognized in the 2027 editions of The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America®, honors based on peer review within the legal profession.

Seven attorneys were named to The Best Lawyers in America: Louis J. La Cava, Kari K. Jacobson, Jonathan Ficarrotta, David S. Nelson, and Thomas Saieva in Tampa; Jonathon P. Lynn in Fort Lauderdale; and Gregory Glasser in Miami. Recognitions span Litigation – Insurance, Medical Malpractice Law – Defendants, Personal Injury Litigation – Defendants, Construction Law, Professional Malpractice Law – Defendants, and Legal Malpractice Law – Defendants.

Mark R. Messerschmidt of the firm’s Tampa office was named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America for Medical Malpractice Law – Defendants, a distinction recognizing attorneys in the earlier stages of their careers who have already distinguished themselves among their peers.

“This kind of recognition reflects the work our attorneys put in for clients every day, not a single case or a single year,” said Louis J. La Cava, founding shareholder. “We’re proud to see that work acknowledged by the peers who know it best, and proud that it spans attorneys at every stage of their careers.”

“Being named to Ones to Watch this early in my career means a great deal, particularly in a practice area as demanding as medical malpractice defense,” said Messerschmidt. “I’ve had strong mentors at this firm, and this recognition is as much a reflection of that as it is of my own work.”
