TRIBUTE TO BUSINESS ON THE CREATIVE COAST: FERGESON SKIPPER, P.A.

“To be named among the very best in your career is something that many aspire to but few actually achieve. Rick consistently proves he belongs at the top.”

— James O. Fergeson, Jr., Founder of Fergeson Skipper

Richard (Rick) R. Gans, Shareholder

IN 2021 FERGESON SKIPPER, P.A. is celebrating its 45th anniversary of serving the Sarasota area with superior legal services to their clients. However, the firm has even more reasons to celebrate: Shareholder Richard (Rick) R. Gans being named “Lawyer of the Year” and the firm receiving Tier 1 “Best Law Firm” accolades.

A respected, distinguished estate planning attorney, Gans was selected as “Lawyer of the Year” in The Best Lawyers in America 2021 Edition. This was the fourth time he has achieved this designation, which is an extraordinary achievement considering only a single lawyer in each practice area and metropolitan area is honored as a “Lawyer of the Year.” For Rick, this is another recognition and accolade earned in a career spanning three decades. Gans is certified by The Florida Bar as a specialist in Wills, Trusts and Estates and is a Fellow in the prestigious American College of Trust and Estate Counsel.

For a firm to be named as a “Best Law Firm” it must have at least one attorney named on the Best Lawyers in America list. In the 2021 Best Lawyers listing, five attorneys at Fergeson Skipper were named as Best Lawyers. This is the third consecutive year the firm has achieved this honor. Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. “Best Law Firms” is based on a rigorous evaluation process. Presented in tiers, the rankings give designations to firms in only 75 major practice areas nationally and in 127 practice areas regionally.

Fergeson Skipper is a full-service law firm with concentrations in federal taxation, wills, trusts and estates, litigation, business law and real estate law located at 1515 Ringling Boulevard in Sarasota, Florida. For information, call 941-957-1900 or visit www.FergesonSkipper.com.
