Steve, a Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial attorney, has previously served as a board member, vice president, and president-elect of the local chapter.
“I am honored to be the incoming president of the Palm Beach ABOTA chapter, an organization that consists of the premier plaintiffs and defense civil litigators in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee counties,” said Steve. “In the coming year, we will continue to focus on promoting the highest level of professionalism and civility in the practice of law, independence of the judiciary, and the right to trial by jury in civil actions.”
ABOTA is a national association of experienced trial lawyers and judges and is considered one of the most prestigious affiliations for civil attorneys. Membership is by invitation only and all members must meet a list of professional requirements as well as exhibit the virtues of civility, integrity, and professionalism.
The Palm Beach Chapter is comprised of 96 select members of the legal community. Chapter activities support the mission of ABOTA through educational programs, judiciary events honoring state and federal judges, juror education and recognition, and local scholarships.
