FLORIDA – June 4, 2020 – RumbergerKirk is pleased to announce that 11 attorneys have been selected for inclusion in the 2020 edition of Florida Super Lawyers. 

Super Lawyers is a comprehensive guide to 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 who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.

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.

Miami

• Scott M. Sarason – Personal Injury: Products Defense
