About

 I was born and raised in Michigan. I received my law degree from The Florida State University College of Law and my undergraduate degree from The University of Florida.   Prior to law school, I worked as a legal assistant for Ellis, Ged, and Bodden, P.A. in Boca Raton gaining vast experience in the transactional, personal injury, and mass tort departments of the firm. It was at this firm where my passion for justice began to grow. While attending The Florida State University, College of Law, I worked for the Florida Justice Association spearheading their law school outreach program and becoming the Director of Law School Outreach. I was working directly with then President, Senator Gary Farmer spreading the FJA’s message of open access to courts and defending justice to law students across the state.   After law school, I relocated to Northwest Florida, where I worked for Michles & Booth, P.A. representing injured victims. My wife and I moved to Tampa in 2017 where I have had the honor of opening Michles & Booth, P.A.'s Tampa office.  I bring with me years of experience and a passion for justice, to zealously represent those injured due to no fault of their own.  Expertise: - auto accidents - slip/trip and fall - wrongful death - dog bites - negligent security - negligent employment - premises liability - medical malpractice- member of Escambia Santa Rosa bar association- member of Okaloosa county bar association - member of Florida Justice Association - member of American Justice Association - member of the American bar association Education and Accolades: Florida State University College of Law - Juris Doctor University of Florida - BA political science, minor mass communications Law Fellow  for U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow

When I slipped and fell and shattered my shoulder -I looked around and interviewed. several law firms . Most were not really interested because they felt it was too small of a case ( not enough of a fee for them ) Andre Lama told me he would take the case and that it would take a while but he would represent me in the best possible way . He did what he promised and touched base with me to let me know any updates and I was happy with the outcome ! I would highly recommend him

From our first meeting, Mr Lama made us feel at ease and at the same time explained completely and very clearly how he was going to proceed with our case. He did exactly what he told us on that first meeting and helped us minimize the 20% medical charges we incurred. We will definitely use him again if needed. Also, will recommend him to our friends. Mr Lama, thank you.

Andre is very professional and was beyond helpful through the entire process. He took the time to personally make sure that I understood the process and answered all of my questions prior to hiring him. He guided and advised me through every step, and fought for what was right and fair. He was always available and never made me feel like he was too busy to speak with me. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend him!

Even though Andre came into my case toward the end, he came in as if he were there from the start. He handled my case with care and oustanding professionalism. The final result was the best outcome possible and I could not have been happier. I hope to not need the services of Michles and Booth in the future. However, if I do, Andre will be my first call.

I was blown away with how Mr Lama handled my case. He kept me informed on every update on my case every step of the way, I never had to call him and even though my case was small it was never treated as such. Mr Lama went above and beyond and to get me everything that was owed to me and he did just that!!!!

Mr. Lama is extremely courteous and actually cares about his clients. I experienced personal loss during my case and he made sure to call and check on me, ask how I was handling things and told me if I needed anything to please let him know. He got the maximum amount for my accident settlement and explained every charge and detail for what was paid out. If I EVER need a lawyer again for something like this, I will (without a doubt) call on this firm to help. And it wasn't just Mr. Lama, EVERYONE who works at Michles and Booth is amazing. From the front receptionist to the main lawyers, they are all wonderful people.
