ORLANDO – Six Nelson Mullins attorneys based in Florida have been included in the 2021 list of Florida Trend's "Legal Elite" and its "Legal Elite Hall of Fame."

The attorneys listed and their practices are:

• Jonathan Etra, Criminal Law (Miami)
• Gary Freedman, Bankruptcy and Workout (Miami)
• Scott D. Knapp, Commercial Litigation (Fort Lauderdale)

In addition, two firm attorneys were chosen for the Legal Elite Hall of Fame in recognition of consistent high rankings from their peers during annual voting for Legal Elite:

According to the publication, all in-state members of The Florida Bar are invited to name attorneys whom they hold in the highest regard or would recommend to others. 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. Less than 2 percent of the active Florida Bar members who practice in Florida are listed. Learn about their methodology.
