Fort Lauderdale Illustrated has named Michael Elkins, Esq., founder and partner of Fort Lauderdale-based MLE Law, to its 2020 list of Top Lawyers. The list will appear in the October 2020 issue of Fort Lauderdale Illustrated.

PRS (Professional Research Services) created the research for the Top Lawyers list, which is based on an online peer-review survey sent out to all licensed attorneys within Broward County. Thousands of votes were cast honoring excellence in all areas of practice. Inclusion in Fort Lauderdale Illustrated’s Top Lawyers is based solely upon one’s standing within their peer group. Listings in Top Lawyers cannot be purchased.

Top Lawyers research is conducted exclusively for Fort Lauderdale Illustrated and is not to be confused with localized web-based lists that may appear in other publications.

“It is a great honor to be named to Fort Lauderdale Illustrated’s list of Top Lawyers, derived purely from a peer-review survey of Broward County licensed attorneys,” said Elkins. “Fort Lauderdale Illustrated is a respected, longtime publication, and I am happy to be included in this list.”

Elkins is disrupting today’s legal industry by providing alternative concierge fee structures, plus “membership”-based fees, instead of the traditional billable hour model. He provides modern, efficient and global representation, and only charging clients for actual legal work produced. His fee structure does not involve charges for phoning, emailing or texting clients. Clients receive advice, work product and results more efficiently than traditional firms, because he eliminates layers associated with these firms. Decisions are made without bureaucracy.

In addition, Elkins is changing the way lawyers grow their business. He is the founder, producer and host of Game 7: The Sports, Business & Lifestyle Podcast. The podcast has grown from a local to national show, in which he interviews top experts regarding the intersection between business and sports.

Elkins actively utilizes social media platforms, such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, where MLE Law’s transparency can be seen.

Having spent the majority of his career working in large to mid-size Florida law firms, Elkins is a 20-year litigator representing businesses, municipalities and individuals in labor and employment matters. He also provides outside general counsel services (daily corporate advice, preparation and review of corporate documents, creation of corporate entities, merger and acquisition representation). Elkins provides his clients with his legal expertise regarding their day-to-day legal needs, administrative claims, matters pending in courts at any level, and employer/employee specific issues.
