FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, Jun 16 (MARKET WIRE) --
Becker & Poliakoff, P.A., a diversified commercial law firm with more
than 120 attorneys in 13 Florida offices, New York City, Nassau, Prague
and affiliated international offices, today announced that its
Construction Law practice and two of its attorneys have been recognized
in the 2009 edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for
Business.

Attorney Steve Lesser, who heads the construction practice, received the
prestigious Tier 1 ranking in the annual directory which is known for its
independent research. Mr. Lesser is Board Certified in Construction Law
and devotes his practice exclusively to construction law and litigation
and has substantial experience representing owners, developers,
contractors, design professionals, and government entities in a variety
of construction cases.

In addition to bestowing its highest ranking on Mr. Lesser, Chambers USA
awarded its Tier 2 designation both to the Becker & Poliakoff Construction
Law practice and to firm attorney Lee Weintraub, who is Board Certified in
Construction Law. Mr. Weintraub, who also concentrates his practice in
commercial litigation, has ranked among the top construction lawyers in
Florida in surveys of attorneys and clients statewide.

The newly released directory was published by Chambers and Partners, an
independent company that identifies and ranks the world's best lawyers and
law firms. The rankings are developed on the basis of in-depth, objective
research conducted by the Chambers team of 100 full-time researchers.

In describing Becker & Poliakoff's Construction Law Practice which
includes eight Board Certified Construction attorneys, Chambers says,
"The team has an undisputed reputation for residential construction
matters and is increasingly involved in commercial cases. Regularly
representing owners, developers, sureties and contractors, the group is
particularly knowledgeable on condominium projects."

Becker & Poliakoff ranks among the top firms in Florida in the number of
attorneys who have received Board Certification in Construction Law.
