Three Attorneys Named to Florida Trend’s 2010 Florida Legal Elite

Coral Gables, Florida (July 1, 2010) - The Haggard Law Firm is pleased to announce that partners Michael Haggard and Douglas McCarron, and associate Todd Michaels have recently been named to Florida Trend’s 2010 Florida Legal Elite.  Haggard and McCarron  were listed as top attorneys and Michaels listed as an Up & Comer in the state of Florida in this special edition of the magazine.

For the second time since Legal Elite was published seven years ago, it presented the Legal Elite Hall of Fame. To be considered, an attorney must have been a Legal Elite winner for each of the past five years. A panel of lawyers was consulted to evaluate that list and make the final selection. Michael Haggard was among attorneys listed for this prestigious honor. 

Florida Legal Elite has acknowledged Haggard, McCarron, Michaels and other top attorneys in the state of Florida in various practice areas. This year’s list of 918 Legal Elite attorneys represents less than 2% of the nearly 63,000 Florida Bar members practicing in Florida.

The Florida Legal Elite honorees were chosen by nominations and votes. Nomination announcements were sent to all attorneys in the state where they had the opportunity to list who they feel are the top attorneys practicing in the state. Nominees were scored based on number of votes they received. A panel of attorneys representing seven practice areas reviewed the selections to develop the list.
