Limits of this assessment

  • A tier is Sartori’s editorial opinion, not a fact about the firm or a client-satisfaction measure.
  • Facts are mapped from public sources and shown as bands; they lag reality by weeks or months.
  • No third-party legal-directory band is used as an input.

Methodology

How tiers are assigned

Deterministic public-footprint core (local depth, practice share, seniority mix, public hiring momentum), computed relative to this market's own distribution. Tier placement is derived from this public mapped data; a per-firm public-source ledger is compiled for firms in the annual research pass and applies to those firms' factual claims, not to tier membership. No third-party legal-directory bands are used as an input.

Market scope

10–24 firms earn a tier in Florida within this scope (banded).
