For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions—metro areas—to help us collect as much feedback and data for specific individuals, firms, and practice areas as possible. We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.

IN THE LAW

South Florida’s Legal Renaissance

What was once only thought of as a destination for vacation may now be the top legal market in the country, attracting talent from around the world.

FLORIDA HAS LONG BEEN a vacation destination, housing places like Disney World, Universal Studios and more than 1,000 miles of coastline. In fact, many opt to make their visits permanent. According to U.S. census data, in 2021, more Americans (around 220,000) moved to Florida than any other state.

But right now, Florida is attracting more than just tourists. The Sunshine State is going through a legal market revival, with lawyers, law firms and corporations flocking to open up business operations. According to Bloomberg Law, Florida-based law firms have reported a nearly 60% increase in lawyer retention for the first time since 2018. As a result of this ongoing legal resurgence, South Florida has seen a massive uptick in lawyer placements, steadily cementing the region as a major business and legal hub in the making.

South Florida’s most populated and commercially booming city, Miami, ranked fourth on a list of 500 U.S. cities evaluated in a 2019 financial growth study conducted by SmartAsset, a New York-based financial technology company. Additionally, in recent years, major tech and entertainment companies, including Microsoft, Apple and Paramount Global, have transferred business operations there, creating even more legal opportunities for young, up-and-coming lawyers to venture beyond conventional law firm roles.

As a window into Latin American life and culture,

Miami has also served as a hub for law firms with a variety of international clients, including mostly countries in South America. Joe Ankus, a Miamibased legal recruiter with nearly 30 years of experience, has seen this shift in South Florida’s legal market firsthand.

“In the last 10 years, international law firms have dipped their toe into the South Florida pool, but now people are diving in headfirst. It’s been an irrevocable shift. The economy was doing really well pre-pandemic, and there was an increase in the developing technology and private equity groups springing up in South Florida. Then the pandemic created this desire to be in the open air and not encased in concrete. It led to a lot of northeasterners with ties to the tech and venture capital world looking at Miami as an opportunistic move,” stated Ankus. Florida, which has seen a 19.3% increase in lawyers over the course of 10 years, also provides provisions within the state’s bar requirements that might explain the current legal boom. As long as an individual passes the Florida Bar or is already licensed to practice in a different U.S. jurisdiction, the Florida Bar Association allows that lawyer to practice in state. This privilege is also extended to international attorneys looking to make the switch. With the surge in South Florida’s legal market expected to advance, it continues to attract the top legal talent across the nation.

Paul S. Leinoff

Family Law • Miami, FL

2005, Paul S. Leinoff has worked as an attorney and partner at Leinoff & Lemos, P.A. located in Miami, Florida. With nearly 20 years of legal experience, Leinoff specializes in the practice area of family law, having recently been appointed to serve on the Legislation Committee, Relocation Subcommittee and Alimony Committee of the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar Association. Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2019, Leinoff is currently being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Family Law in Miami for 2023.

SINCE

Of his recent legal experience and award, Leinoff stated: “Over the past year, I was selected to serve on a small committee comprised of lawyers and judges to create new and comprehensive guidelines for Miami-Dade County family court judges to consider when qualifying and addressing an ’emergency.’ When these guidelines are adopted, it is my hope that my participation will have created increased value for the involved families, notably the affected children and improved efficiency for the judiciary. In general, I think that my peers recognize my total dedication to this practice. Overall, I work very long hours, sometimes at the expense of my personal life, in order to be prepared for each stage of my cases. When I walk into a cross-examination, it is not just a routine step for me but rather the culmination of tremendous preparation and an opportunity to skillfully flip the case in my client’s favor. I think my peers also respect my ability to remain cordial and professional, even when opposing counsel instigates unwarranted conflict.”

He continued, “Working as a family lawyer, you see good people at one of the most stressful moments in their lives, in fear of losing what they hold most dear, from their children to their finances and everything in between. My focus is to assist the client in removing his or her emotions from the important decisions to be made. The most rewarding scenario for me personally is when I have worked hard to secure, by settlement or ruling, the most advantageous agreement that places my client in a far better position than when he or she met me. It is an ongoing challenge to try to balance personal life with the persistent, all-consuming demands of a successful family law practice.”

Leinoff, who was inspired to go into the field of law by his father and current legal partner Andy Leinoff, coincidentally became a successful family law attorney, exclusively handling complex family law matters in Florida. Leinoff has provided legal services to clients for a range of familybased issues including alimony settlements, child relocation, child support cases and negotiations of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.

“Unlike other areas of law, my cases involve ongoing contact with human beings whose own personal lives are being directly affected by the case on a daily basis, which can create ’emergencies’ that are very real to them. There is an increasingly growing expectation of absolute availability followed by immediate results,” stated Leinwoff.

In addition to representing his clients through a variety of family law matters, Leinoff currently serves as the lead advisor to Kidside Inc., a Miami based nonprofit organization committed to providing increased funding to Florida Family Court Services enabling them to continue serving the needs of both children and parents experiencing any form of family conflict.

“As a family lawyer in particular, a tarnished reputation is unfixable. The relationships between all of the professionals who are involved in a family law case are very important. A lawyer who cannot be trusted or cannot be held to his word will not be able to negotiate a settlement or present his case to a judge as successfully as one who has the respect of his colleagues and the court. Of course, to be a ’great’ litigator in bench trials, proficiency in the rules of evidence is also critical.”

Michelle Diffenderfer

Environmental Law • West Palm Beach, FL

S

INCE 1994, Michelle Diffenderfer has worked as a fulltime attorney, starting her legal career at Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A., located in West Palm Beach, Florida, after graduating from the University of Miami, School of Law. At the firm, Diffenderfer currently acts as the president and shareholder, having also served as the former Chair of the American Bar Association's Section of Environment, Energy and Resources.

Garnering nearly 30 years of legal experience, Diffenderfer primarily dedicates her time to the practice area of environmental law, guiding local landowners, businesses and government organizations to make sound legal decisions that work towards the preservation of the natural world and its resources. Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2021 for her work in Government Relations, Diffenderfer is currently being recognized as “Lawyer of the Year” for Environmental Law in West Palm Beach for 2023.

When asked about her award, Diffenderfer stated: “I recently concluded my one-year term as Chair of the American Bar Association's Section of Environment, Energy and Resources. I am proud of what we accomplished over the past year, despite the continuing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. I oversaw the Section's priorities such as educational programs, substantive committees, publications, conferences and activities. The issues we work on effect everyone’s way of life, and I take that very seriously. The environmental world is still fairly small, and the people working in it are fabulous and a pleasure to work with, connections that have surely contributed to my continued success and current recognition.”

In 2020, Diffenderfer was appointed by West Palm Beach Mayor Keith A. James to co-chair the city’s Task Force for Racial and Ethnic Equality. In total, the task force was comprised of roughly 30 community leaders and officials, all with one common goal: to identify, research and educate the public on existing issues of racial and ethnic inequity. Additionally, Diffenderfer has been a career-long member of both the Palm Beach County Bar Association and the Florida Association of Environmental Professionals.

“The work we do matters. As a lawyer working in this sector, you want to make sure you do it very well. Good listening and writing skills are a must, having the ability to explain options both clearly and concisely to clients from a legal and business perspective can make all the difference in a case. In the legal industry, being one part of a larger team is a collaborative effort, having the ability to work well with others only improves your team’s effectiveness to get things done for the client.”

RASH MUELLER is a nationally recognized trial lawyer firm whose mission is to make us all safer by holding accountable those individuals, healthcare providers and corporations that choose to violate the safety rules. The 7th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees everyone a right to a jury trial in civil cases, and Rash Mueller believes the only essential way to deter wrongdoers is for juries from the community to enforce the safety rules and deliver “justice by the people” by way of a verdict that Thomas Jefferson believed is the bedrock of our nation.

For more than 40 years combined amongst its trial lawyers, Rash Mueller has been providing honest, aggressive, and successful representation to those injured or killed by wrongdoers.

David C. Rash and Jeffrey D. Mueller are admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in Florida, and Mr. Rash is also admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in Louisiana, and in the Supreme Court of the United States. Mr. Rash has been rated AV Preeminent with the Highest Martindale every year for more than 20 years, recognized by Best Lawyers® since 2021 in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, as well as “Lawyer of the Year” in 2023, and Super Lawyers. Mr. Mueller has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in 2021.

Fighting for Florida

Three-time “Lawyer of the Year”* Steve Yerrid reflects on how South Florida was the setting for some of his most memorable trials.

PHOTO BY PETER ACKER
18 | SOUTH FLORIDA PAID ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT

STEVE YERRID KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE TRIAL-TESTED.

Even prior to passing the bar, he clerked part-time in a prestigious D.C. law firm and worked in the U.S. Senate to pay his tuition to Georgetown University Law School.

Over the past four decades, he has built his stellar reputation and that of The Yerrid Law Firm by convincing juries to side with his clients in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, particularly those poised to provide for meaningful societal impact and protect the welfare of others. In the process, he has obtained a number of significant results both in Florida and in other parts of the nation.

Beating the Unbeaten

One of Yerrid’s career-defining cases occurred in Palm Beach. In the 1990s, Yerrid was selected by the late Gov. Lawton Chiles as the youngest member of the 11-member “Dream Team” of Florida’s best private lawyers. He took a leading role in the state of Florida’s landmark lawsuit against the previously unbeaten cigarette industry.

Yerrid was tasked with amending Florida’s case against Big Tobacco to include an action under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. The case was filed in Palm Beach County. The RICO Act makes it unlawful activity to conspire and subsequently engage in or receive income from an enterprise through a pattern of “racketeering” activity. Yerrid eagerly accepted the RICO aspects of the case because of his prior experience and extensive knowledge of that specialized area of the law and its usage in the courtroom; in the late 1970s, he had been in a three-month racketeering trial, the longest of its kind in U.S. history.

“The tobacco executives were hiding behind the cigarette cartel’s wrongful conduct, false marketing and youth pandering by blaming the old regime of executives in the 1950s and 60s who were deceased. But when we added RICO to our case, the current CEOs couldn’t run from the spotlight or place blame elsewhere once the judge allowed the amendment, and validated our assertion that the RICO enterprise was ongoing and continuous up to the present day.” Yerrid recalls. “When we asserted the current tobacco executives were continuing to be engaged in an ongoing racketeering conspiratorial enterprise and labeled those tobacco executives as racketeers, our case was brought home in a very personal and present-day manner. With that stigma, I would like to think this public perception played a role in bringing Big Tobacco to the settlement table for the first time in its history. The trial commenced in a packed Palm Beach courtroom before Judge Harold Cohen, of Florida’s 15th Judicial Circuit and it was being covered by nationwide media. The cigarette industry settled the case during the third week of jury selection.”

It was the biggest monetary settlement in U.S. history at the time, ultimately topping $17 billion. Subsequent to that favorable result, a $200 billion national, multistate settlement shortly followed, and that multistate resolution was largely accomplished through the use of much of Florida’s work product and its litigation tactics. “Because of what we were able to achieve in the tobacco litigation, a societal sea change occurred throughout the nation,” Yerrid notes. As a result, “millions of lives have been, and continue to be, saved.”

Throughout its existence, Yerrid and his firm have recovered billions of dollars in high-stakes litigation against a number of well-funded and powerful defendants. Yerrid and the firm have secured more than 300 individual recoveries in excess of $1 million and several in the eight- to nine-figure range in the areas of catastrophic injury, product liability, construction defects, medical negligence, premises liability as well as trucking and motor vehicle accidents and a variety of other types of civil litigation.

Down To The Bone

Yerrid has fought for countless plaintiffs through the decades. There have been many highlights and milestones, but when considering those verdicts he has obtained in South Florida, he fondly recalls one of the cases he had as a young lawyer—the first medical malpractice case he tried in Broward County.

In the early 1980s, he represented Nathan Satter, a recognizable actor from the Ft. Lauderdale area who was in his 70s at the time. One morning during breakfast, Satter suddenly dropped his fork and partially lost movement in his arm. Assuming he had suffered a stroke, Satter was rushed to the hospital for treatment. A radiology study revealed a shocking surprise. Months earlier, a small cancerous section of Satter’s mandible had been resected and a Kirschner wire (“K wire”) had been inserted to retain the space in the jawbone that had been removed. Once he healed, a plastic implant would be put into place and the mandible restored to its prior condition. But the K wire, which was several inches long, had not been properly secured. As a result of talking and chewing food over several weeks, the wire loosened and traveled through his jawbone and into his skull where it was driven deep into his brain.

“The X-ray taken of his head at the hospital is a simple black-and-white image, yet it remains one of the most startling radiological pictures I have ever seen,” Yerrid says. (See photo)

Typically, a jury answers a standard first question on a medical

malpractice verdict form: “Was there negligence on the part of the doctor to cause this injury?” Before the jury retired to deliberate, Yerrid asked the seasoned (and very egotistical) defense lawyer about the second question on the verdict form. With a condescending look of disdain, the seasoned lawyer told Yerrid he had never gone to a second question because he always got a “no” on the first…meaning he had never lost.

Shortly after the jury began deliberating, there was a question sent to the judge by the jurors—they asked for a calculator. “I couldn’t stop myself from walking over to the defense table,” Yerrid recalls. “Looking straight at my supposedly unbeaten adversary, I remarked, ‘Looks like you’re going beyond the first question today.I still remember the expression on his face'”

Deliberations took only a short time longer before the jury reached its verdict answering yes to the first question finding the defendant was negligent in his care and treatment of Satter and rendered a very substantial verdict. “I certainly have secured a number of larger verdicts,” Yerrid says, “but that one was especially satisfying.”

“Because of the defense lawyer’s arrogance and even more so because I still believe asking for a calculator, in my opinion, is the best question a jury can ask. Looking back at a fairly long career, I am confident there have been tremendous improvements in our society and many of those changes occurred because of what trial lawyers have done in courtrooms across the nation. If I could come back and have another chance at life, I would want it to be that of a trial lawyer.”

"Throughout its existence, Yerrid and his firm have recovered billions of dollars in high-stakes litigation against a number of well-funded and powerful defendants."

He has been named as one of South Florida’s Top Lawyers in medical malpractice by the South Florida Legal Guide 2002–2023.

“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years.

Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
