Steven Mezrano

Steven Mezrano

Distinguished Lawyer

Personal Injury Law

31 Inverness Center Pkwy suite 350, Birmingham, AL 35242, USA

Steven Mezrano didn’t always plan to be a lawyer. Around 2002, his life was changed when he was involved in a motor vehicle collision and subsequently had knee and shoulder surgeries. Faced with mounting medical bills and no mode of transportation, he found himself overwhelmed with the whole process. So when Steven Mezrano tells you he understands what you’re going through, he means it. He’s been through it himself. Mezrano Law Firm is personal to Steven Mezrano. He understands what you are facing and takes personal ownership in each case. He’s involved in every case that the firm handles and prides himself on being available for each client to speak directly to him about his or her concerns. “Direct communication with the client and discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each case is important to the client experience. That is why I started Mezrano Law Firm. I understand what you’re facing, and each case Mezrano Law Firm takes is personal to me. I am a part of every case the firm handles, and you can always speak directly to me about what you need. No matter the case or the injury you sustained, I am going to tell you how it is – for better or worse.” Steven grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, attended the University of Alabama – Birmingham, and received his undergraduate degree in public relations. Before applying to law school, he worked for several public relations and marketing firms. He attended Birmingham School of Law and received his license to practice law in 2008. Since starting his legal career, Steven has handled a diverse practice, starting in a domestic relations and criminal defense firm, then moving into personal injury litigation at Shunnarah Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C., where he was promoted within four years to firm management. In 2012, Steven opened Mezrano Law Firm, P. C. so that he could practice law the way he envisioned: with honesty, integrity, and dedication. Since then, he’s handled all personal injury cases, from fender benders to wrongful death. His most notable case for him was an 18-wheeler whose driver lost control and struck a husband and wife. It was complex litigation, but it showed Steven that every client deserves every ounce of attention, and no matter what happens to that person, every person deserves his day in court. Steven prides himself on creating a firm that strives to help others and to be their voice in the courtroom. In addition to his legal services, Steven has a strong commitment to community service. Mezrano Law Firm, P.C., sponsors high school athletics through Friday Night Lights and High School Hoops. The firm also feeds the homeless quarterly to give back to the community. Steven enjoys spending time with his family and tending the family farm in Columbiana when he’s not in the office. He is married to the beautiful Ashley Joseph Mezrano, and they have four exceptional children, all of whom cheer for Alabama (Roll Tide, Roll).
