PENSACOLA, Fla., July 9, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Levin, Papantonio, Thomas, Mitchell, Echsner & Proctor, P.A. is pleased to announce that Michael Papantonio has been named by SuperLawyers magazine to the publication's Top Attorneys in Florida. Mike Papantonio's profile is included online at www.levinlaw.com and will be in the magazine's June 2007 Florida issue, available this month.
SuperLawyers magazine took a comprehensive look at those lawyers who represent the little guy in cases ranging from medical malpractice to securities class actions, often with multi-million dollar results. It is comprised of lawyers from a wide range of practices, ranging from employment discrimination to toxic torts, aviation disasters to birth negligence. Those named to the list represent less than one-half of one percent of the legal profession, placing them among the most elite group of legal professionals.
