TAMPA — Attorneys Daniel Fleming and Philip Mokris have joined the Tampa office of law firm of GrayRobinson P.A., the practice announced Wednesday.

Fleming becomes a GrayRobinson shareholder, while Mokris joins as Of Counsel to the firm. Both veteran trial attorneys had previously worked for the Tampa firm of Melkus, Fleming & Gutierrez P.L.

“Dan and Phil bring a breadth of legal and trial experience to the firm that is rare and very valuable to our clients,” says Mayanne Downs, GrayRobinson's president and managing director, in a statement.

Fleming has worked on more than two dozen trials nationwide, largely on a civil defense basis. His practice is centered on the railroad, amusement park and pharmaceutical industries, and on trucking accidents.
