FLORIDA – June 11, 2015 – GrayRobinson announced today that Super Lawyers has named 56 attorneys as "Florida Super Lawyers" and another 12 as "Rising Stars." Super Lawyers are considered the top attorneys in the state with a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Rising Stars are the up-and-coming attorneys in the state who are 40 years old and under and have been practicing for 10 years or less.
"We are proud that Super Lawyers has awarded this honor to so many of our attorneys statewide," says President Byrd F. "Biff" Marshall, Jr. "We look forward to continued success and to continuing to provide top notch services to our clients."
Only up to five percent of lawyers in the state of Florida can be recognized as Super Lawyers, while less than three percent are named Rising Stars. Both Super Lawyers and Rising Stars are selected based on a patented selection process, which includes nominations by clients or firm, extensive research on the candidates and peer reviews.
Additionally, four GrayRobinson attorneys were honored in the 2015 "Florida Super Lawyers Top Lists." Gary Salzman was honored in the "Top 100 in Florida" list, Mayanne Downs was honored in the "Top 50 Women in Florida" list, Leyza Blanco was honored in both the "Top 100 Miami Super Lawyers" and the "Top 50 Women in Florida" lists, and Jack Reiter was honored in the "Top 100 Miami Super Lawyers" list.
