Matt Weissing has been selected in the field of Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs. Matt comes from a long legal heritage. His great uncles, Joseph Thomas (JT) Chancey and Christopher Chancey were two of Ft. Lauderdale’s earliest lawyers.

Gary M. Farmer, Sr.  has been selected in the field of Appellate Practice. Gary serves as of-counsel and provides litigation support and appellate representation in both civil and criminal cases.

Later, he was appointed to the Fourth District Court of Appeal where he served for 20 years.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 50,000 leading attorneys cast almost 5 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
