ST. PETERSBURG, FL.

The winner list represents just over 1% of the active Florida Bar members who practice in Florida.
Florida Bar President John M. Stewart remarks, “The Florida Bar and its more than 106,000 members are meeting the challenge of adapting the practice of law with evolving technologies to better serve our clients and the public. Lawyers from across our vast state, representing practices small and large, are embracing these efforts, which are making legal services more affordable to many and helping to close the justice gap. For the public and our profession, Florida Trend’s Legal Elite remains a reliable guide to Florida’s top legal talent, as recommended by their peers.”
“For the past 16 years, our 250,000 readers have turned to Florida Legal Elite as a guide to help select trusted legal partners to handle many crucial corporate assignments,” says Publisher David Denor. “This July issue provides a valuable resource for these readers, and FloridaTrend.com offers an additional pathway to access this key information.”
The Legal Elite Hall of Fame comprises a distinguished group of attorneys who have consistently earned high rankings from their peers in the annual Legal Elite voting.
