Florida Trend magazine recognized 18 Carlton Fields attorneys in its 2018 “Florida Legal Elite” list, placing the firm among the top five in Florida based on the number of lawyers who earned a spot on the peer-voted list. Five Carlton Fields attorneys made the Legal Elite Hall of Fame, an accolade honoring those who consistently earn high rankings in Legal Elite surveys.
Additionally, two Carlton Fields attorneys earned the respect and votes of their peers in Florida Legal Elite’s “Up & Comers,” a section listing the top Florida attorneys under 40.
The Legal Elite, now in its 15th year, recognizes respected Florida lawyers chosen by their peers through the magazine’s statewide attorney surveys.
