West Palm Beach, FL, August 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- For his second consecutive year, Gary S. Lesser, Managing Partner at Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith, PLLC, based in West Palm Beach, has been recognized in the 2011 edition of Florida Trend’s Florida Legal Elite Hall of Fame, now in its third year. Out of more than 90,000 lawyers actively practicing in the State of Florida, only 67 were selected into the Legal Elite Hall of Fame this year.

To be eligible, an attorney must have been a Florida Trend Legal Elite winner at least seven times. A diverse panel of lawyers are consulted to evaluate the list and to make the final selections.

The list of 1,352 Legal Elite honorees, published in the July issue of Florida Trend magazine, includes attorneys in private practice as well as separate lists of top government/non-profit attorneys. Actively practicing Florida attorneys were asked to name the attorneys that they hold in highest regard as professionals – lawyers with whom they have personally worked and would recommend to others.

"Florida Trend is a leader in providing substantive rankings of exceptional attorneys as determined by peers. The Legal Elite peer review ranking provides highly reliable information on leading lawyers throughout Florida," noted Florida Bar President Scott Hawkins.

"The 250,000 Florida Trend readers are executives who rely on the legal community for a multitude of corporate assignments,” said Publisher Andrew Corty.
