Legal Eagles

Sooner or later, you’re going to need a lawyer. When that happens, it’s just not smart to select someone to look out for your interests from a Google search, TV ads or billboard signs—especially if your business depends on it.

You want an attorney with expertise, experience, integrity and intelligence. Those are the kinds of professionals Gulfshore Business has sought for its inaugural list of go-to lawyers. Consulting with pros in the legal community, we narrowed the list from hundreds of Southwest Florida attorneys.

We focused on those with board certification in the practice areas for which it is available, and Florida Supreme Court mediator certification. Board certification shows that the lawyer has been evaluated and received a stamp of approval at the highest level from The Florida Bar, a testament to the attorney’s experience, competency and ethical standards.

We know that there are numerous reputable and highly competent lawyers who are not included in our 2010 list, including some considered among the best in their practice area. We hope to highlight other winning lawyers in future issues, and we welcome your suggestions.
