What Maney Gordon Zeller does

Maney Gordon Zeller, P.A. is a privately held, full-service immigration and personal injury law firm organized as a Florida Professional Association and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. Founded by Richard Maney circa 1982 (with firmographic data indicating 1975), the firm has grown to approximately 101–250 employees across nine U.S. offices, with a primary concentration in Florida (Tampa, Orlando, Dade City) and a Philadelphia location opened in April 2017. The practice is led by named partners Richard Maney (Senior Partner, Florida Bar Board Certified in Immigration and Nationality Law), Jack Gordon (Partner, Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney), and Christian G.A. Zeller (Partner), supported by 30+ attorneys including Spanish-, Portuguese-, and Thai-speaking practitioners.

The firm's core services fall into three buckets: (1) Family Immigration — green cards, fiancé(e) and marriage visas, naturalization and citizenship, deportation defense (including cancellation of removal), DACA, student visas, LGBTQ immigration, CHNV Parole, and VAWA; (2) Business Immigration — H-1B, L-1, E-1/E-2, O-1, EB-1 through EB-5, investor and entrepreneur visas, permanent residence, and I-9/worksite compliance; and (3) Personal Injury — negligence, medical malpractice, product liability, and wrongful death, operated through a dedicated practice site (fightnegligence.com). The firm holds bar admissions in 16 U.S. states, four countries, and at the U.S. Supreme Court, and carries a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating.

Revenue is generated on a professional services, fee-for-service basis through quote-based pricing with free initial consultations. The go-to-market is sales-led: clients are acquired via direct attorney consultations, a centralized 800-number intake (800-708-4399), online contact forms, in-person walk-ins across the nine offices, and top-of-funnel content marketing through a continuously published blog (2019–2026), YouTube videos, and free community citizenship classes. Customer mix is hybrid: a high-volume individual immigrant client base and a smaller business/employer segment seeking employment-based immigration support. The firm is privately owned by its named partners with no venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment, and no parent holding company is identified.
