Shrader Mendez & O’Connell

What Shrader Mendez & O’Connell does

Shrader Mendez & O'Connell is a Tampa, Florida-based litigation law firm serving individual consumers, small businesses, and bankruptcy trustees across the state of Florida. The firm was founded by Managing Partner Brian L. Shrader around 2014 (previously operating as Shrader Law, PLLC) and rebranded to its current name in 2024, reflecting the addition of named partners. It operates a single office at 902 N. Armenia Ave, Tampa, FL, and represents clients in both Florida state courts and federal courts, including trial-level, appellate, and bankruptcy adversary proceedings.

The firm delivers services across four primary practice areas — Criminal Defense, Personal Injury, Consumer Protection, and Business Litigation — plus a set of specialized offerings including Qui Tam/Whistleblower representation, Mass Torts and Class Action lawsuits, Attorneys' Fee Litigation, and Bankruptcy Trustee Representation. Sub-services within Criminal Defense cover federal and state crimes, domestic violence, weapons/firearm offenses, white collar crime, drug crimes, theft, violent crimes, expungement, and PPP fraud defense. Personal Injury covers car and motorcycle accidents, premises liability, and wrongful death. Consumer Protection addresses debt collection defense, FCRA violations, and debt negotiation overcharging.

Revenue is generated through professional-services fees (hourly, flat, and contingency arrangements typical of plaintiff-side personal injury work). The go-to-market motion is sales-led: free initial consultations, client referrals, peer recommendations reinforced by AV Preeminent and Super Lawyers recognition, and earned media such as an ABC News feature. The firm markets itself through a content-rich website, blog, video library, social media (Facebook, LinkedIn), and a testimonials page, with intake handled primarily via phone, web contact forms, and in-person office visits. There is no public disclosure of revenue, funding, or headcount, and the firm is privately held by its founding attorneys with no parent company or external investors.
