About Michael Lewenz

Michael T. Lewenz, Esq. is a partner at Zebersky Payne Shaw Lewenz, LLP, and Chair of the firm’s Personal Injury and PIP Practice Group. Mike represents individuals who suffer injuries in car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and slip and falls. He also represents families seeking justice for their loved ones in wrongful death matters. Mike has also developed a niche practice representing clients in cases involving funeral home negligence or cemetery negligence. His case was featured on the front page of the Daily Business Review when he helped obtain a $1M settlement for two families whose loved ones were switched at burial. Mike’s unique experience allows him to navigate this often complicated legal and emotional landscape to seek compensation and justice for his clients. Since 2014, Mike has recovered over $50 million for his clients. Mike doesn’t just settle cases. If a defendant or insurance company refuses to pay fair compensation to his clients, Mike has the knowledge, experience, and willingness to go to trial. He has tried cases in state and federal courts and is one of a select group of personal injury lawyers to complete a jury trial in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, in front of then Chief Judge, K. Michael Moore. Because of his success in and out of the Courtroom, Mike is recognized by his peers as a Super Lawyers Rising Star. But more importantly, Mike is beloved by his clients, repeatedly receiving public recognition in the form of reviews or client letters.
