In addition, shareholder Jason E. Merritt was named one of 159 “Legal Elite Top Up & Comers” in the state of Florida. The “Legal Elite” designation represents the top 1.9% of Florida Bar members who practice in the state.

Past winners of the prestigious “Legal Elite” designation include ShuffieldLowman founders W. Charles Shuffield and William R. Lowman, Jr.
