Frank Florio

Mission Statement

The practice of law is a service profession. My commitment to service as an attorney in Broward County extends not only to my clients, but to my fellow Bar practitioners. I view service on the Board of the Young Lawyers Section of the Broward County Bar Association a perfect avenue to fulfill my commitment. As a Board member I intend to perform my duties to the best of my abilities. Whether it is through my work on committees, my role on longstanding Board projects like the Holiday in February Event, or through the initiation of new projects, my goal is to help the Board work as a team to make our Broward County legal community and our Broward County community at large a better place.
