Guide to Florida has named Hager & Schwartz, P.A. a 2026 Best of Florida winner in the Criminal Defense Firms category. It is our second consecutive year receiving the honor, following our 2025 win, and the recognition covers the whole state of Florida. It comes from the people who matter most to us: readers who took the time to vote.

How the Best of Florida Award Works

Guide to Florida selects its Best of Florida winners through a two-step process. Readers cast votes for the businesses and firms they trust in each category, and editors tabulate those votes alongside their own picks. 

Winners are chosen primarily by vote count, and editors confirm that votes are valid and that each firm is in good standing with the organizations that govern it. 

Best of Florida is the top designation Guide to Florida gives, reserved for the businesses that draw the most votes in their category statewide. This is not a paid placement. It is a reader-driven recognition, and we take it as seriously as any credential on our wall.

Thank You to Our Clients and Community

We are grateful to the clients, families, and colleagues across Florida who voted for our firm two years running. Being selected in the Criminal Defense Firms category tells us that the work we do, case by case, deposition by deposition, is being recognized outside the courtroom, too.

What This Recognition Means for You

Choosing an attorney is one of the more consequential decisions a person makes during a difficult stretch. The Best of Florida recognition does not change the facts of a case or promise a particular result, but it does reflect what our clients have told the community about working with us: that we are responsive, that we return calls, and that we stay reachable as a case moves. 

At Hager & Schwartz, P.A., we practice criminal defense exclusively, in state and federal court, for clients across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Volusia Counties.
