Meldon Law

What Meldon Law does

Meldon Law is a privately held Florida personal injury law firm founded in 1971 by Jeffrey Meldon in Gainesville. The firm represents individual accident victims across the full spectrum of personal injury matters, including motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, rideshare, ATV, bus, train, boat), premises liability, dog bites, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and catastrophic injuries. It operates under a contingency-fee model with no recovery-based fees, free initial consultations, and advancement of all case preparation costs (which can reach $50,000-$100,000+ per matter). Service is delivered through six physical offices spanning Gainesville (headquarters), Fort Lauderdale, Ocala, Lake City, Aventura, and Williston, providing statewide Florida coverage.

The firm is led by Managing Partner Carey Meldon (son of the founder) and employs eight attorneys alongside approximately twenty case managers, paralegals, investigators, and business development staff. All attorneys personally handle intake and negotiation with insurance adjusters rather than delegating to paralegals. The practice limits its case intake to maintain attorney-led representation on every matter. Marketing is multi-channel — including a blog, weekly podcast/radio show, free consumer guides, location-specific SEO pages, community sponsorships, and the official Florida Gators partnership — designed to drive top-of-funnel accident-victim inquiries.

The business model is sales-led and direct-to-consumer: prospective clients contact the firm via phone, web forms, mobile app, or in-person visits; attorneys evaluate cases at no charge; the firm then advances all litigation costs and recovers fees only on a successful outcome. Cumulative reported results include $250 million in client settlements across 5,000+ cases and a stated 98% success rate. The firm is family-owned with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and has been expanding its geographic footprint and practice-area breadth in recent years, including a South Florida launch via the Aventura office in October 2025.
