ORLANDO, FL – Eleven RumbergerKirk attorneys have been named to Florida Super Lawyers 2008. Super Lawyers is a comprehensive guide to the top five percent of attorneys in the state, as chosen by their peers and categorized by city and practice area.

Through peer nominations and independent research by Law & Politics magazine, attorneys are asked to nominate the best lawyers they’ve personally observed in action. Safeguards are placed to avoid ballot manipulation, such as lawyers nominating themselves or “stacking” the ballots with only colleagues from within their own firms.
