Adams & Reese Attorneys Selected Among 2026 Florida Super Lawyers and Rising Stars

Recognition for excellence in the practice of law has once again found a home across Adams & Reese's Florida offices, where fifteen attorneys have earned a place on the 2026 Florida Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, as selected by their peers. Spanning the firm's Sarasota, Tampa, and Jacksonville locations, this year's honorees reflect the depth of talent the firm brings to clients throughout the state, with particular strength in construction litigation.

Produced by Thomson Reuters, Florida Super Lawyers magazine identifies outstanding attorneys across more than 75 practice areas, drawing on peer recognition and a record of professional achievement to compile its annual lists. The honor is selective: no more than 2.5 percent of the state's lawyers are chosen by the publication's research team each year.

The Rising Stars designation carries an added distinction, recognizing up-and-coming attorneys who are 40 years of age or younger or who have practiced law for 10 years or less.
