“George has an incredible reputation throughout the state of Florida,” said Larry Hamilton, leader of the firm’s North Florida Litigation Group. “He’s entrusted by clients to handle their most complex, “bet-the-company” cases and has also worked on some of the most important cases affecting the government and public policy, which makes him a great fit for Holland & Knight.”
“George is one of the most respected and well-connected lawyers in Tallahassee and throughout the state,” said Karen Walker, executive partner of Holland & Knight’s Tallahassee office. “His arrival allows us to expand our litigation and Florida government advocacy capabilities, particularly with respect to high-profile matters involving the government.”
“Holland & Knight is a powerhouse firm with attorneys who are doing incredible work on big issues that affect the state,” said Mr. Meros. “I look forward to teaming up with them to produce the best possible results for our clients.”
