We are pleased to announce that Alessandra Manes is a Best Lawyers® “Ones to Watch” Recipient for 2022. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch is a recognition awarded by Best Lawyers® to lawyers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice.

According to Best Lawyers®, “These awards are recognitions given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years.” An awarded lawyer can be recognized for multiple years but cannot indefinitely remain recognized in “Ones to Watch.” 

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers lists are compiled based on an exhaustive peer-review evaluation. Almost 87,000 industry-leading lawyers are eligible to vote (from around the world), and over 10 million evaluations are received on the legal abilities of other lawyers based on their specific practice areas around the world.

“Alessandra is an asset to our team. She devotes herself to her clients and to serving in the community. She is dedicated, passionate, and highly skilled,” says FCLC Group President, John Foster.

Alessandra received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Central Florida. She later earned her Juris Doctorate from the Barry University School of Law.

Alessandra was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2015 and the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida in 2016. She is a member of the Florida Bar Association, Orange County Bar Association, and OCBA Young Lawyers Section. In 2017, Alessandra completed the Collaborative Law training program at the Barry University School of Law. 

This is Alessandra’s second consecutive year receiving this award.
