FordHarrison LLP, a national labor and employment law firm, is pleased to announce that three of the firm's Florida-based partners have been named to the "2012 Florida Legal Elite" list by Florida Trend magazine. Todd S. Aidman, Tammie L. Rattray and Kay L. Wolf were recognized.
The selection process was rigorous. It began with notifying and inviting members of the Florida Bar to name attorneys they hold in the highest regard or would recommend to others. The ballots were processed, checked and tabulate and the list of top vote-getters was further examined using membership status and practice histories provided by The Florida Bar. This year's list of Legal Elite attorneys represent the top 2% of attorneys in the state of Florida as judged by their peers.
