Introducing Mesirow & Associates, PLLC, a WABA Business Leader Member

We’ve recently introduced you to our business membership programWe debuted the program in 2012 and are steadily signing up new business members in 2014. As part of the program, we’d like to introduce you to some of our business members. Today, meet Mesirow & Associates, PLLC Mesirow & Associates, PLLC is a small firm that focuses on  personal injury cases due to bicycle accidents, car accidents and pedestrian accidents in Washington, DC, Maryland, ,and Virginia. John Mesirow has been commuting by bicycle for 12 years from Chevy Chase, Maryland. John says, “When I started commuting, people would honk at me or yell…But I’ve noticed that, over the years, this has steadily decreased. As more and more cyclists hit the roads and trails…and groups like WABA advocate for cyclists, I have been pleasantly surprised that motorists have become more aware of, and considerate of, cyclists.” As a personal injury lawyer, John has dealt with many bike cases, and seen a gradual change in police understanding of bicycle cases and he and members of his firm are working to make that trend continue.
