I wonder if I'm getting the right advise. Would be good to know I'm dealing with an expert rather than relying on the luck of the draw.
I looked through the sticky's and on************, didn't see anything, sorry if I missed it.
Thanks.
There was a thread on this a couple months back, didn't really go too far and was somewhat controversial.

There is also the standard US News list which lists by specialty area.

Another idea would be to check the Florida BIA website

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
