1,144 Attorneys Named Legal Elite
Now in its 13th year, Florida Legal Elite presents a prestigious roster of attorneys chosen for
recognition by their peers. The 1,144 lawyers listed in this section exemplify a standard of excellence in their profession and by so doing, have garnered the respect and esteem of their colleagues.
Voting for this year’s Legal Elite began in October 2015 when Florida Trend invited all in-state members of the Florida Bar to participate. Multiple announcements publicized the ballot deadline and voting guidelines.
Lawyers were asked to name attorneys whom they hold in the highest regard or would recommend to others. Voters also were asked to name three “up and coming” attorneys, and in a separate category, outstanding attorneys working in the government and non-profit sectors.
Peer recognition program honors Florida’s top attorneys.
Voting for the 2017 Florida Legal Elite will begin in October. For more information, visit www.FloridaTrend.com/LegalElite/2017notify.

1,144 Attorneys Named Legal ElitePeer recognition program honors Florida’s top attorneys.
The ballots were processed, checked and tabulated by Bradenton-based Outsource America and EA Fernbacher LLC in St. Petersburg. Each lawyer was given a score based on the number of votes he or she received, with more weight given to votes from outside the firm. Only lawyers who are currently licensed and practicing in Florida were eligible for selection.
The list of top vote-getters was further examined using membership status and histories provided by the Florida Bar. A panel of previous Legal Elite winners, representing different practice areas in cities across the state, reviewed the selection process and the list of finalists.
The resulting lists represent fewer than 2% of the active Florida Bar members who practice in Florida.
The Legal Elite Hall of Fame comprises a distinguished group of attorneys who have consistently earned high rankings from their peers in the annual Legal Elite voting. This year 11 new members join the group of Hall of Fame members honored since 2009.

Life has a Restart Button. This was the ad campaign that catapulted Benenati Law into becoming one of the largest filers of bankruptcy in the country in 7 short years. “The Life has a Restart Button ad campaign (which he trademarked and now licenses to other attorneys across the country) really resonates with my clients,” Benenati said. Having filed almost 6000 bankruptcies, Walter Benenati has established himself as a powerful force in the Central Florida legal community.
During the almost 9 years the Firm has been in operation, they have handled personal injury cases for former clients and now has increased the public’s awareness of their growing personal injury practice. Our vision is to build our injury practice the same way we did in bankruptcy – through upholding the highest level of customer service, returning client’s phone calls the same day, and delivering what we say we are going to do. Benenati said “It’s that simple”.
