Orlando, FL– June 24, 2024 – RumbergerKirk is pleased to announce that four attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2024 edition of Florida Super Lawyers (by Thomson Reuters). 

Since its founding in 1991 Super Lawyers has been recognizing lawyers in each state who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Each year it compiles a comprehensive guide of the top 5 percent of attorneys in the state, as chosen by their peers and categorized by city and practice area. Super Lawyers rates outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas.

Through peer nominations and independent research, 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. Further evaluation is done based on peer recognition and professional achievement.

This year’s honorees from RumbergerKirk include:

• Robert L. Blank, Tampa – Personal Injury General: Defense
• Scott M. Sarason, Miami – Personal Injury Products: Defense

In addition, two attorneys are listed as “Rising Stars.” No more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list. The selection process for Rising Stars is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process except that a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for ten years or less.

RumbergerKirk 2024 Rising Stars:

• Melissa Softness, Miami – Personal Injury Products: Defense
• Erin Weinstock, Miami – Construction Lit
