Law Office of Michael Mirer, P.A.

Focus and practice areas

This is a criminal defense firm based in Miami, Florida. The work centers on people facing criminal charges in Miami-Dade County and the wider South Florida area. The practice covers state, federal, and juvenile court. That spread matters, because a single case can move between those systems depending on the charge and the age of the accused.

The listed practice areas are drug crimes, DUI defense, theft crimes, domestic violence, violent crimes, and sex crimes. The firm also takes federal matters. Those include fraud, embezzlement, and RICO charges. Both felony and misdemeanor cases are part of the caseload, which suggests the office handles routine matters as well as heavier ones.

Who leads the practice

The firm is led by Michael Mirer, its founding attorney. In my opinion the clearest fact in this listing is his background as a former prosecutor. Before private practice, Mirer worked as an Assistant State Attorney in Miami-Dade County. He was appointed to the Career Criminal Robbery Unit while he was there.

That history says something about the cases he handled early in his career. A career criminal unit deals with repeat and serious offenses. A defense lawyer who has worked those files from the state's side has watched how a prosecution gets built, charge by charge.

Education and admissions

Mirer earned a B.A. and a J.D. from the University of Miami. His law degree was awarded Cum Laude. He is a member of the Florida Bar. He is also admitted to the United States District Court for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida, and to the United States Supreme Court.

Admission to the federal district courts lines up with the firm's stated federal work. The Supreme Court admission is a formal credential that many trial lawyers hold. As a reviewer, I read it as a marker of standing, not a claim about how any single case will turn out.

From prosecutor to defense

The move from the State Attorney's Office to a defense practice is a common path in criminal law, and it tends to shape how a lawyer works. Someone who once filed and tried cases knows the steps a prosecutor takes and the points where a case can be tested. That is the value a former prosecutor brings to the defense table.

Here, the background is stated on the firm's own profile rather than implied. Mirer prosecuted crimes at all levels before he switched sides. For a reader comparing firms, that kind of named, checkable detail carries more weight than a general promise about experience.

Courtroom experience and what the record shows

The profile states that Mirer has handled more than 100 trials. For a criminal defense practice, trial numbers carry real meaning. Many criminal cases end in a plea before they ever reach a jury. A lawyer who has tried that many has spent genuine time in front of one.

The firm does not publish specific case results in the material reviewed here. That is a limit worth naming plainly. Readers who want outcome data will need to ask about it directly. What the site does offer is a stated volume of trials and a prosecutorial record, both of which are concrete starting points.

The listing also does not give a founding year for the firm. That gap does not change the credentials on file, though it is the kind of detail a careful reader might want to confirm.

Where the firm works

The office sits in Miami and serves clients across the region. Named areas include Miami, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. That reach covers much of the South Florida coast, from Miami-Dade up through Broward and into Palm Beach County.

The firm offers consultations. For someone facing a criminal charge, an early conversation is often how the working relationship begins. The listing does not describe fees, and this review does not either.

How to read this listing

The picture here is focused rather than broad. There is one named attorney, a single field of law with several charge types under it, and a clear home base. Firms built this way tend to keep the founding lawyer close to the day-to-day work.

In my opinion the strongest verifiable points are the prosecutorial background, the stated trial volume, and the federal court admissions. Those facts are specific and can be checked. The open questions, such as the founding year and any published outcomes, are the ones a prospective client can raise at a first meeting. On the evidence the firm itself presents, this is a Miami criminal defense practice led by a former Miami-Dade prosecutor with a stated history of trial work.
