Super Lawyers is a listing of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The list is compiled from peer nominations in which attorneys in Florida are asked to nominate their choice for the State’s best lawyers, based on individuals they have observed in action firsthand.

Additionally, Singerman leads the Berger Singerman team representing Judge Herbert Stettin as Chapter 11 Trustee for the law firm of Rothstein, Rosenfeldt & Adler, P.A. This case is amongst the largest Ponzi schemes in Florida history.
