Five Phelps Lawyers Honored as Florida Trend’s 2022 Florida Legal Elite

TAMPA, Fla. — June 28, 2022 — Florida Trend awarded five Phelps lawyers a spot among its Florida Legal Elite for 2022. Only the top 1.3% of Florida lawyers are chosen each year for this recognition. Phelps lawyers in this year’s class include:

• • A. Brian Albritton – Criminal law
  • Karl J. Brandes – Civil Trial
  • Bret M. Feldman – Construction
  • Dennis M. McClelland – Labor and employment
  • John D. Mullen – Labor and employment

For almost 20 years, Florida Trend has invited all in-state members of the Florida Bar to vote for lawyers they highly regard or would recommend to others. An outside vendor counted all ballots and scored lawyers based on the number of votes they received, with more weight applied to votes from outside their firms.

These Phelps lawyers are regularly chosen for this honor, and most have been recognized by Florida Trend for more than 10 years.
