About Genine Ann
Genine Ann Mejia arrived at law after a decade in clinical science. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Cardiopulmonary Science from the University of Central Florida in 2001, then returned to school for a law degree at Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2012. The shift from health care to law shaped how she examines evidence and prepares cases.
She began practicing after law school and has built a solo practice in Florida. Her legal career has included courtroom appearances, client counseling, and the day-to-day management of a small law office. She is listed as the lawyer for The Law Office of Genine Ann Mejia, where she handles matters in state courts and local venues.
Mejia’s work has a steady through-line: an interest in criminal defense. She holds membership in the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and has been active in the Volusia County Bar Association since 2012. Those affiliations anchor her professional network and provide regular contact with peers who handle similar caseloads in the region.
Her earlier training in cardiopulmonary science informs her handling of cases that involve medical records, expert testimony, or questions of physical injury. That background does not replace legal training, but it gives her another lens for assessing reports and cross-examining technical witnesses. Clients say she explains complex medical and legal points in straightforward terms so they can make informed decisions.
Running a solo practice means juggling court calendars, filings, client intake and strategy. Mejia’s office takes on the practical work of evidence review, motion practice and negotiation. She prepares for hearings and trials, often working with expert witnesses and local investigators when cases require technical support. Her work combines investigation, legal research and client advising.
Outside the office she participates in bar activities and maintains ties to the local legal community. Membership in the Volusia County Bar Association has been continuous since 2012, and she retains an active association with the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. She continues to practice law in Florida and to represent clients in criminal matters, drawing on both her legal training and her earlier medical education.
Her current practice focuses on criminal defense and related legal matters in Florida.
