Lyle Brian Masnikoff Esquire

The firm is led by Mr. Lyle B. Masnikoff who has received an "AV Preeminent" Rating, the highest possible rating a lawyer can receive from the Martindale-Hubbell Legal Directory. Martindale-Hubbell over the past 130 years has established the ratings of lawyers nationwide through a system of complex scoring formulas and criteria. With only a small percentage of attorneys in the country attaining this respected status, and only the most experienced being considered as candidates, the AV Rating is a testament from peer legal professionals and judges that the attorney "clearly indicates a demonstration of the highest professional knowledge and ethical standards". In fact, it is the highest rating available and indicates the attorney has reached the pinnacle of legal ability and competence.

Mr. Masnikoff graduated and received his Juris Doctor, cum laude, from Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law School in 1998. He graduated in the top ten percent of his class. Mr. Masnikoff also received a Bachelors of Science Degree in Accounting from Nova Southeastern University.

After five years as a partner at Masnikoff & Sternberg, P.A., Mr. Masnikoff opened his own law firm, Lyle B. Masnikoff and Associates, P.A.
