Goldberg Segalla is pleased to announce that partners Chelsea E. Bellew and Michael W. Switzer have been named to Palm Beach Illustrated’s 2025 list of “Top Lawyers.”

The publication collaborated with Professional Research Services to conduct a peer-review survey of licensed attorneys in Palm Beach County. Participants were asked to nominate fellow lawyers – excluding themselves – whom they would recommend in various practice areas. Final selections were based on the survey results, verification of active licensure, and good standing with The Florida Bar.

Chelsea was recognized for her work in the Workers’ Compensation category, while Michael was honored in the area of Construction Law.
