Guy S. Emerich, Jack O. Hackett II and David A. Holmes, directors at Farr Law Firm, were recently selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2022 Edition of “The Best Lawyers in America.”

Mr. Emerich was recognized by Best Lawyers for his work in trusts and estates, and has received this honor for 16 consecutive years. He is Florida Bar board certified in wills, trusts and estates, and his practice focuses on estate planning, probate and trust administration, with an emphasis on protecting and preserving his clients’ assets, minimizing taxes and avoiding probate.

Mr. Hackett was named by Best Lawyers in the practice of real estate law for the seventh consecutive year. As a Florida Bar board-certified real estate attorney, he represents clients in all areas of residential and commercial real estate sales, acquisition and development, and has represented clients in several high-profile real estate transactions. Mr. Hackett also practices business law and counsels clients in a wide range of industries in the formation, organization and management of business entities.

Mr. Holmes, firm president, was recognized by Best Lawyers in the area of construction litigation for the fourth sequential year. He counsels and advocates for business owners and their businesses across a broad range of matters, including initial organization, governing documents, operations and contracting, acquisition, disposition and finance.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers lists are compiled based on an exhaustive peer-review evaluation. Almost 108,000 industry leading lawyers are eligible to vote (from around the world), and Best Lawyers has received more than 13 million evaluations on the legal abilities of other lawyers based on their specific practice areas around the world. For the 2022 Edition of The Best Lawyers in America, 9.4 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in more than 67,000 leading lawyers being included in the new edition. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
