Press release from: Rumberger Kirk & Caldwell

ORLANDO, FL -- Fifteen attorneys from Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell have been named to Florida Super Lawyers 2009 and seven lawyers were named Florida Super Lawyers Rising Stars.

Super Lawyers is a comprehensive guide to the top 5 percent of attorneys in the state, as chosen by their peers and categorized by city and practice area.

Through peer nominations and independent research by Law & Politics magazine, attorneys are asked to nominate the best lawyers they’ve personally observed in action. Safeguards are placed to avoid ballot manipulation, such as lawyers nominating themselves or “stacking” the ballots with only colleagues from within their own firms. Further evaluation is done based on peer recognition and professional achievement. Florida Super Lawyers is based on a survey of approximately 44,000 ballots of attorneys who have been in practice for more than five years.

The following Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell attorneys have been named to Florida Super Lawyers:

Miami
Scott M. Sarason – Civil Litigation Defense

Orlando
Lori J. Caldwell – Civil Litigation Defense
James A. Edwards – Personal Injury Defense: Products
Daniel J. Gerber – Business Litigation
Leon H. Handley – Civil Litigation Defense
William “Bud” Kirk – Business Litigation

Tallahassee
Richard A. Greenberg – Criminal Defense
E. Thom Rumberger – Environmental Litigation
Darren Schwartz – Employment & Labor

Tampa
Robert L. Blank – Personal Injury Defense: General
J. Richard Caldwell, Jr. – Civil Litigation Defense

No more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list. The selection process for Rising Stars is the same as the Super Lawyers selection process except that a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for ten years or less, and Rising Stars candidates do not go through a peer evaluation by practice area.
