Tampa, FL · measured July 26, 2026

Which law firms does AI recommend in Tampa?

We asked ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity to recommend law firms in Tampa, FL — 6 hiring questions, 18 recorded answers, every one saved. They named 48 different businesses. These are the 19 that came up more than once.

The measured shortlist

In Tampa, the name that came up most was Morgan & Morgan (Tampa office).

Ordered by how many of the 18 answers named them. This is not a ranking of quality and none of these are our clients — it is a record of who three assistants surfaced for Tampa, FL on July 26, 2026. If you are one of the law firms in this market and you are not on this list, that is the gap.

  • All Family Law Group, P.A. Named in 2 of 18 answers · by Perplexity

Even Morgan & Morgan (Tampa office) does not win everything here. It was never named when we asked about best family law attorney, a separation with a shared house or best criminal defence attorney. Those are separate questions with separate winners, and in Tampa they are open.

All three assistants agreed on 2 of them

Morgan & Morgan (Tampa office), Givens Law Group PLLC were named by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity alike. Agreement across three systems that read different sources is the strongest position available on this surface, and in Tampa it is currently held by 2 businesses.

And 29 more were named exactly once

These came up in a single answer, from a single assistant, and never again across the other 17. That is the honest shape of Tampa: a handful of businesses named repeatedly, and a long tail mentioned once by chance. Visibility that appears here and nowhere above will not survive the next re-run.

How many each assistant would name

  • Google Gemini 26 law firms named in Tampa
  • Perplexity 18 law firms named in Tampa
  • ChatGPT 17 law firms named in Tampa

The assistants disagreed on 4 of 5 questions

Asked the identical question about Tampa, 4 of 5 comparisons produced no shared business at all — three assistants, three separate shortlists. There is no single "AI answer" for this market to optimise against, which is why being named by one assistant tells a Tampa owner very little about the other two.

16.7% of answers named nobody at all

In 3 of 18 answers the assistant declined to recommend anyone and pointed the buyer at a directory or a list of things to check instead. Those are answers where no Tampa business won anything.

Where the answers came from

For Tampa, the source cited most was justia.com.

All three assistants searched the web before answering and cited what they read. Across the Tampa, FL answers they cited 139 sources. These are the ones they leaned on most — the pages actually deciding which law firms get named here:

  • justia.com12
  • expertise.com8
  • avvo.com6
  • superlawyers.com6
  • tampatriallawyers.com5
  • bestlawfirms.com5
  • bestlawyers.com5
  • cataniaandcatania.com4
  • olderlundylaw.com4
  • forthepeople.com3
  • attorneys.superlawyers.com3

  • harrishuntderr.com3
  • familymaritallaw.com3
  • lawhancock.com3
  • leg.state.fl.us2
  • floringray.com2
  • tampainjuryaccidentlaw.com2
  • hunterlawgroup.com2

Directories and review sites accounted for 43.2% of what was cited for Tampa. In this market the aggregator profiles are doing much of the recommending, so a thin or inconsistent listing is not a cosmetic problem here — it is the evidence being read about you.

What we would do about it

In Tampa, the evidence sits on justia.com.

None of this is a ranking you can buy into. The assistants named whoever was easiest to verify and safest to repeat, and in Tampa they read justia.com and expertise.com to decide it. Fixing that is the same work in every market, so it is written up once: what we build for law firms.
