Marks Gray Attorneys among 2015 Florida Legal Elite and Up and Comer by Florida Trend Magazine
(JACKSONVILLE,
FLA: April 15, 2015)
MarksGray, P.A. is pleased to announce Jeptha F. Barbour was selected by his peers
as a Legal Elite and Jill F. Bechtold has earned the distinction as an “Up and
Comer” by Florida Trend magazine in
2015. Both Mr. Barbour and Ms. Bechtold are listed in the Civil Trial category.
“Having
Mr. Barbour and Ms. Bechtold named to the Florida
Trend magazine’s 2015 Florida Legal Elite and “Up and Comer” list is a great
honor,” said firm President, Gerald Weedon.
“We are pleased that they have earned this designation from their
peers.”
Lawyers
were asked to name attorneys whom they hold in the highest regard or would
recommend to others. Voters were also asked to name three “Up and Coming”
attorneys, as well as in a separate category, outstanding attorneys working in
the government and non-profit sectors.
The
ballots were processed and each lawyer was given a score based on the number of
votes he or she received, with more weight given to votes from outside the
firm. The list was further examined using membership status and histories
provided by the Florida Bar. A panel of previous Legal Elite winners,
representing different practice areas in cities across the state, reviewed the
selection process and the list of finalists. The resulting lists represent
fewer than 2% of the active Florida Bar members who practice in Florida.

Attorney's Jill Bechtold and Alison H. Hofheimer appear on The National Lawyers website
Attorney’s
Jill F. Bechtold and Alison H. Hofheimer article was featured today on The
National Trial Lawyers (www.thenationaltriallawyers.org) website. The article
discusses how traditionally, pharmacists have enjoyed broad protection
from potential liability claims of pharmacy customers. Many courts have
historically held that pharmacists owe no independent duty to customers, beyond
exercising “due and proper care in filling prescription[s].” However, in the
last decade, the law provides a good case study in the evolution of pharmacist
liability, exhibiting what is gradually becoming a growing movement among the
courts. Now, pharmacists arguably must act as a “check” on the prescribing
physicians and must independently evaluate the “reasonableness” of
prescriptions, including the quantity, frequency, dosage, or combination with
other prescriptions.”
