Jones Foster, a commercial and private client law firm with offices in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, and Jupiter, Florida, is proud to announce that nearly half of the firm’s shareholders and senior counsel have been selected for inclusion in the 2025 edition of Florida Super Lawyers, a prestigious list that recognizes no more than 5% of attorneys in the state.

Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes independent research, peer nominations, and evaluations across 12 indicators of professional excellence.

Attorneys who received the highest point totals during the selection process are further recognized on Super Lawyers’ Top Lists where notably, Vice Chair Theodore S. Kypreos ranked on the Top 100: Florida and Top 100: Miami lists.

Several of the firm’s associates were also recognized as Florida Rising Stars, a distinction given to just 2.5% of eligible lawyers under the age of 40 or in practice for 10 years or less in the state. New to the list this year are attorneys Carlee G. Mattison, Alexander M. Parthemer, Melissa C. Steen, and Matthew L. Worsham.
