Jones Foster Attorneys Named to 2026 'Top Lawyers' Lists
Jones Foster, a commercial and private client law firm with offices in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, and Jupiter, Florida, is pleased to announce that the firm’s attorneys have been recognized on two 2026 “Top Lawyers” lists published by local media outlets.
Palm Beach Media Group has named more than half of the firm’s attorneys to its 2026 “Top Lawyers” list, with representation across the firm’s six core practice groups. The 2026 honorees, who are featured in Palm Beach Illustrated’s September issue, were selected through a peer-review survey conducted by Palm Beach Media Group and Professional Research Services. Practicing attorneys are invited to identify lawyers they regard as outstanding in their respective practice areas. Attorneys who receive the most votes among eligible nominees earn a place on the annual list.
The Boca Raton Observer magazine has recognized L. Ben Alexander, Jr. for Real Estate Law and Thomas J. Baird for Government and Administrative Law in its 2026 “Top Lawyers” legal directory. The annual guide features a curated selection of the most distinguished attorneys in South Florida through an exclusive peer-nomination process conducted by DataJoe, a leading research firm. The directory is published on The Boca Raton Observer’s website.
