WELCOME
From courtrooms to conference rooms, the Sarasota and Bradenton Area is home to some of Florida’s most respected legal minds. Each year, SRQ Magazine presents the Elite Top Attorneys program, a peer-nominated guide that shines a spotlight on outstanding legal professionals across the region, from Anna Maria Island and Lakewood Ranch to Downtown Sarasota, Venice, and Nokomis. We asked attorneys to nominate the colleagues they most respect, those they trust to stand beside them or challenge them across the aisle, and the response was overwhelming. Peer recognition is one of the highest forms of professional praise, especially in a field built on trust, intellect, and advocacy. This year’s honorees have earned the confidence of their fellow attorneys through years of dedication, sharp legal acumen, and unwavering ethical standards. In the 2025 Elite Top Attorneys Legal Guide and awards section, you’ll meet the individuals whose work helps shape outcomes for clients and sets a high bar for the legal profession. Many are also leaders in our community, lending their expertise to causes and organizations that uplift our region. The law is more than a profession, it’s a pillar of a just society. The attorneys honored here are stewards of that ideal, ensuring that disputes are resolved with fairness, contracts are honored with clarity, and justice is pursued with integrity. We’re proud to share this year’s honorees with you. Join us in celebrating the 2025 class of SRQ Magazine’s Elite Top Attorneys.
METHODOLOGY To create the list, the magazine contracted DataJoe Research to facilitate an online peer-voting process and Internet research process. DataJoe Research is a software and research company specializing in data collection and verification, and conducts various nominations across the United States on behalf of publishers. To create the list, DataJoe Research facilitated an online peer-voting process. DataJoe checked and confirmed that each published winner had, at time of review, a current, active license status with the appropriate state regulatory board. If we were not able to find evidence of a lawyer's current, active registration with the state regulatory board, that lawyer was excluded from the list. In addition, we checked available public sources to identify lawyers disciplined for an infraction by the state regulatory board. These entities were excluded from the list. Finally, DataJoe presented the tallied result to the magazine for its final review and adjustments. We recognize that there are many good lawyers who are not shown in this representative list. This is only a sampling of the huge array of talented professionals within the region. Inclusion in the list is based on the opinions of responding lawyers in the region. We take time and energy to ensure fair voting, although we understand that the results of this survey nomination and Internet research campaign are not an objective metric. We certainly do not discount the fact that many, many good and effective lawyers may not appear on the list.
DataJoe uses best practices and exercises great care in assembling content for this list. DataJoe does not warrant that the data contained within the list are complete or accurate. DataJoe does not assume, and hereby disclaims, any liability to any person for any loss or damage caused by errors or omissions herein whether such errors or omissions result from negligence, accident, or any other cause. All rights reserved. No commercial use of the information in this list may be made without written permission from DataJoe. Only one ballot per person was accepted for each entry year. Nominators were asked to vote for a professional only if they had personally witnessed his/her skill and expertise. If a nominator voted for themselves in any category, they were also required to vote for at least two candidates outside of their practice in that same category. All nominators and nominees must be actively practicing within the Sarasota and Bradenton Area region. For research/methodology questions, contact the research team at surveys@datajoe.com.

Bill has also received accolades from America’s Top High Stakes Litigators, National Lawyers of Distinction and America’s Most Honored Lawyers, Super Lawyer in Florida, Top Attorneys in Florida and Top Attorneys in Tampa Bay. Bill’s advocacy in the fight against the opioid crisis earned him national attention, including a feature by Fox News journalist Geraldo Rivera.

SHARE A TESTIMONIAL “When my son was hit by a car last year while sitting at an intersection on his bicycle, I knew we would need legal help. I felt dealing with someone who had been involved with Personal Injury law in this area for over 30 years was a better option for us than some of the big box law firms. It proved to be a good decision. Bill, his staff, and associates did a masterful job of getting my son a healthy settlement. I don’t think you could have a better representative fighting for your well being than the Robertson Law Firm, P.A.”
