Kerrigan Estess Rankin McLeod & Thompson LLP was a distinguished personal injury law firm based in Northwest Florida, widely recognized as the region’s first local practice dedicated exclusively handling personal injury claims. The firm dissolved in September 2023, with former partners continuing practice as McLeod & Thompson, carrying forward a legacy of community-focused legal representation and a strong record of securing substantial verdicts and settlements for clients.
The firm prioritized direct, personal relationships between attorneys and clients, ensuring that when clients called, they spoke directly with their lawyer. All attorneys were Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial Specialists—a distinction held by only 7% of Florida lawyers—reflecting deep expertise in litigation and a proven history of success spanning over 40 years. They specifically served individuals and families in Northwest Florida affected by negligence, emphasizing local presence and personalized service in contrast to out-of-town firms.
