Leighton chosen as America’s Top 100 Attorneys®

John Leighton, managing partner of Leighton Panoff Law, P.A. in Miami and Orlando, has been selected as a Lifetime Achievement member of America’s Top 100 Attorneys.

Membership among America’s Top 100 Attorneys^® is meant to identify and highlight the accomplishments of the nation’s most esteemed and skilled attorneys in all areas of practice. Only 100 attorneys in each state receive this honor to be selected for membership among America’s Top 100 Attorneys^®. While selection for any award, honor, or exclusive membership organization is always subjective in nature, they have developed a comprehensive multi-phase selection process involving propriety algorithms and Qualitative Comparative Analysis in an effort to help ensure that only the most skilled and exceptional attorneys in the community are selected for membership.

Every attorney selected for membership among America’s Top 100 Attorneys^® must pass through this multi-phase screening process and be found among the Top 100 attorneys in their community based on this screening criteria. Attorneys cannot buy or “peer nominate” their way into membership. According to the organizing body, if an attorney does not meet the standards established by our criteria to be selected among the Top 100 in their community, then there is no amount of money (or peer nominations) that will change that.

It is the mission of America’s Top 100 LLC to recognize annually and on a lifetime basis the most qualified and accomplished professionals in various fields of practice, including attorneys, doctors, dentists, realtors, accountants, engineers, and architects (among other professionals). Membership in each specific category is by invitation-only after a multi-phase selection process including third-party research and statistical analysis of a candidate’s professional experience, achievements, significant results, community impact, peer reputation, consumer satisfaction, and other proprietary factors specific to each profession.

Membership is limited to the Top 100 professionals from each state in each category of practice who best exhibit excellence and the highest ethical standards in their respective professions. With these high standards, less than 1% of professionals in the United States will be selected for membership as one of America’s Top 100™ in their profession. Membership selection is intended to help the community identify the cream of the crop in each profession and assist with professional networking among the Nation’s top professionals.

Leighton Panoff Law is honored to have Mr. Leighton selected for this achievement.  This comes on the heels of being again selected for inclusion in Florida SuperLawyers, being selected as “Florida Legal Elite” by Florida Trend magazine, “Top Lawyer” by South Florida Legal Guide, and “Orlando Legal Elite” by Orlando Style magazine.  He also was again selected for The Best Lawyers in America for the tenth straight year, as well as “Best Lawyers” by U.S. News for personal injury, medical malpractice and product liability.
