ORLANDO, FL – Each year, Florida Trend recognizes the state’s top attorneys as selected by their peers.  Two RumbergerKirk partners – Daniel J. Gerber, and Scott M. Sarason – have earned recognition in Florida Legal Elite 2009.

Gerber was recognized for his commercial litigation accomplishments, while Sarason made the list for his civil trial work.

The sixth annual edition of Florida Trend’s Legal Elite is a prestigious roster recognizing 1.9% of the approximately 61,500 active Florida Bar members who practice in Florida.  Beginning in October 2008, all in-state members of the Florida Bar were invited to name attorneys whom they hold in the highest regard.

More than 18,000 votes were processed, checked and tabulated by Outsource American and Suncoast Opinion Surveys.  A panel comprised of 2008 Legal Elite lawyers from around the state then reviewed the selection process and the list of finalists.
