*Note on Methodology from the publisher:  The criteria we use to compile our list have been consistent since our inception in 2000. We began with a mailing to a selection of lawyers in So.FL asking who they would recommend to a friend or family member in a variety of fields or areas of practice. We then took an initial list of approximately 1200 lawyers who were mentioned most frequently in responses and in an effort to further narrow the field, had our list reviewed by other lawyers to cull it down to what we believe are the top lawyers in each area of practice.
