Miami, Fla. - Carlton Fields topped the headlines in the South Florida Business Journal on January 20, 2012, "Carlton Fields Expands Miami International Practice." The article announced the news of the firm's new immigration attorney, Julie C. Ferguson, and discussed international and immigration trends.
