Balloting for this year’s list began in October 2009 when Florida Trend invited in-state members of The Florida Bar to participate. Lawyers were asked to name attorneys they hold in the highest regard or would recommend to others.
The ballots were processed, checked and tabulated by Bradenton-based Outsource America and Suncoast Opinion Surveys in St. Petersburg.
Each lawyer was given a score based on the number of votes he or she received and whether the votes came from within their firm (one point) or outside their firm (three points). Only lawyers who are currently licensed and practicing in Florida were considered eligible.
The list of top vote-getters was further examined using membership status and practice histories provided by The Florida Bar. A panel of previous Legal Elite winners, representing a variety of practice areas in cities across the state, reviewed the selection process and the list of finalists.
This year’s list of 1,160 Legal Elite attorneys represents approximately 1.8% of the nearly 64,000 active Florida Bar members practicing in Florida.

The firm provides counseling and legal services in the areas of: Construction; Corporate; Labor and Employment; Environmental; Eminent Domain; Elder Law; Family Law; Governmental Law; Health; Immigration; Intellectual Property & Technology; Land Use; Litigation; Real Estate; Taxation; Trusts and Estates; and Wills.
