    Mike Hancock is proud to be named President of the Carrollwood Bar Association. Established in 2000, the mission of the Carrollwood Bar Association is to serve its members and the residents of the Carrollwood area by fostering respect for the law, advancing the competent and ethical practice of the legal profession, and by providing programs to its members that will enhance their practice and enrich their experience in the legal profession. The Carrollwood Bar Association has contributed over $120,000 to area charities, churches and synagogues, including Operation Helping Hands, Meals on Wheels and Bay Area Legal Services.

    Mike is a second generation Tampa native and has been skiing on Lake Carroll since he was a teenager. Mike graduated from St. Lawrence Catholic School and Jesuit High School. His parents still live in his childhood home located just north of Lake Carroll on Krueger Lane, less than a mile from his home. Mike graduated from Jesuit High School, the University of Florida and South Texas College of Law.

    Mike has been married to his wife and law partner, Claire Hancock, for over 29 years. Mike and Claire are proud of their two daughters, Hannah (a sophomore at the University of Florida) and Gracie (a senior at the Academy of the Holy Names.) Mike and Claire bought their first home in 1992 on Nakora Drive, then bought their current home on Carrollwood Drive in 2005.

    When I asked Mike what his favorite thing about living in Original Carrollwood is, he said "It’s hard to say one favorite thing: knowing that my neighbors are also my friends; skiing and wakeboarding with my daughters on the lake; sitting in our driveway on Christmas Eve with the luminaries glowing; Trick or Treating after the Halloween Parade; and watching fireworks on New Year’s Eve over the lake."

    Mike has served as Legal Counsel on the Board of Directors of the Carrollwood Civic Association since 2006.  Besides the Carrollwood Bar Association, Mike is also a member of the Florida Justice Association, Tampa Bay Trial Lawyers Association, the Hillsborough County Bar Association and CABA.

    Mike Hancock has excelled in personal injury litigation for over 27 years, earning among other honors, an “AV-Preeminent” rating by Martindale-Hubbell, “Superb/10.0” rating by avvo.com, membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, being named one of Florida’s SuperLawyers and one of Tampa’s Top Rated Lawyers. After several years handling claims for the insurance industry, Mike founded Hancock Injury Attorneys in 1996 with a clear understanding of the insurance industry and how to obtain the best results for his clients.
