August 22nd 2011 – Bradenton Florida
The Florida Justice Association (FJA) announced that the Manasota Trial Lawyers Board (MTLB) has formally been recognized as an outstanding local trial lawyer association and its President has been awarded a position on the FJA Board of Directors. The Florida Justice Association only awards positions on its Board of Directors to the top local trial lawyer associations in the State of Florida. Based in Manatee and Sarasota counties, the Manasota Trial Lawyers Board has been growing in prominence and bringing additional focus to legal matters on Florida’s Suncoast. As a relatively new organization, it is considered a great honor to be recognized by the Florida Justice Association.
“At the Florida Justice Association we have seen the MTLB grow substantially over the past year and develop into a premier venue for trial lawyers to network and share information. As a result of this growth, the Florida Justice Association appreciates the value of the Manasota Trial Lawyers Board and is pleased to formally recognize it, and award its President a position on the FJA Board of Directors,” said Jeff Porter, Central Florida Director of the Florida Justice Association.
The Florida Justice Association is dedicated to strengthening and upholding Florida’s civil justice system and protecting the rights of Florida’s citizens and consumers, a goal consistent with the mission of the Manatee Trial Lawyers Board.
“We are deeply honored to be recognized by the Florida Justice Association,” said Manasota Trial Lawyers Board founder and President, Bernard Walsh, “The MTLB counts many of Florida’s top trial lawyers among its ranks, and having been awarded a position on the Florida Justice Association Board of Directors will further enhance our ability to be proactive in supporting justice and the rights of Floridians in our legal system.”
