When the dispute is existential, the attorney has to be ready for trial on day one.
Jeffrey Shalek has tried, settled, and appealed business cases in nearly every Florida circuit and federal district for 28 years. Closely held companies, banks, real-estate developers, and condominium associations call him when the outcome of a single case will reshape the company.

Jeffrey Shalek earned his J.D. cum laude from Benjamin Cardozo School of Law, where he held the Alexander Fellowship and clerked for Judge Michael B. Mukasey of the Southern District of New York. He has been a shareholder since 2006 and represents financial institutions, real-estate developers, manufacturers, contractors, condominium associations, franchisees, auto dealers, insurers, and closely held corporations across Florida and New York.
