Florida Attorney Rochelle Friedman Walk Admitted to Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Women Lawyers™

Walk is now among the less than 5% of women lawyers
that have been recognized with an AV Preeminent rating.

Tampa, FLA, August 5, 2011:  Rochelle Friedman Walk, an experienced, thoughtful and strategic attorney, business executive and neutral mediator licensed to practice in both Florida and Ohio, was recently selected for the inaugural edition of the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Women Lawyers™. The Register is exclusively for women attorneys who have received the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards from their peers.

For over 90 years, the Bar Register has been a unique guide to the legal community's most eminent professionals. It includes only those select law practices that have earned the highest rating in the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory and have been designated by their colleagues as preeminent in their field. Walk is now among the less than 5% of women lawyers that have been recognized with an AV Preeminent rating.

In her more than twenty-five years of business and legal experience, Walk has served as the chief restructuring officer, chief administrative officer, chief legal officer and Business Unit Manager to several national and multi-national business organizations. As an attorney, she has represented plaintiffs and defendants in a wide range of legal transactions and disputes including complex commercial, insurance coverage, real estate, construction, financial restructuring and employment matters. She has served as an ombudsman in employment, elder care, NAACP, creditor and shareholder matters and has worked with a number of different international unions to resolve concerns. 

A graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law and Colgate University, Walk is a Florida Supreme Court Circuit Civil and Appellate certified mediator, licensed to practice law in the States of Florida and Ohio, and is a member of the America Bar Association, Section for Dispute Resolution, the Hillsborough County Bar Association and the Florida Academy of Professional Mediators. Walk currently oversees two Tampa-based firms: The Flat Fee Lawyer and Corporate Governance Solutions.

The Flat Fee Lawyer recognizes that clients have long been frustrated by the inability of a law firm or attorney to provide a firm fee quote and agreement on legal services. Admittedly, not all legal services are suitable for a flat fee, but many, particularly basic business services, can be delivered on a flat-rate basis. We provide these legal services to our clients both virtually and through our more traditional law office. For those services that do not allow for a flat-fee billing rate, we will work with you to deliver a value-based fee solution to meet your needs at the best rate possible.

Corporate Governance Solutions offers neutral and independent third party services for your most difficult situations. The firm capitalizes on its extensive business and legal experience to provide clients with thoughtful and productive legal services. Their mediation style is to leverage their experiences in business and the courtroom to enable all parties to evaluate and assess their positions and likely outcomes. They are firm and direct and ensure integrity in the process.
