Criminal Defense Attorney Leah Mayersohn Named in 2009 Florida
Trend Magazine “Legal Elite”
Ft. Lauderdale, FL – Criminal Defense Attorney Leah
Mayersohn is named and featured in Florida Trend Magazine “Legal
Elite” 2009. This recognition is achieved by earning the trust,
confidence, respect — and votes — of their peers. This year’s
list of 918 Legal Elite attorneys represents less than 2% of the
nearly 63,000 Florida Bar members practicing in Florida.
“It is an honor to be placed among the state’s legal elite,”
says Mayersohn. “This award is meaningful because it is
determined by the votes of my peers.”
Lawyers were asked to name attorneys they hold in the highest
regard or would recommend to others. The ballots were processed,
checked and tabulated by Bradenton-based Outsource America and
Suncoast Opinion Surveys in St. Petersburg. Each lawyer was
given a score based on the number of votes he or she received
and whether the votes came from within their firm (one point) or
outside their firm (three points). Only lawyers who are
currently licensed and practicing in Florida were considered
eligible. Attorneys were also invited to submit names of lawyers
for recognition in a separate Government Attorney category. The
list of top vote-getters was further examined using membership
status and practice histories provided by the Florida Bar. A
panel of previous Legal Elite winners, representing a variety of
practice areas in cities across the state, reviewed the
selection process and the list of finalists.
