Roig Lawyers, a minority-owned multi-practice litigation law firm in Deerfield Beach, is dedicated to serving clients across six offices throughout Florida. Last week they announced that partner, Stephen G. Mellor, a Bahamian living in the US with his family, has been selected to the Super Lawyers, 2015 Florida Rising Stars list.

Mellor grew up in Freeport, Grand Bahama and went to school with his brothers, Paul and David at Sunland Lutheran and Freeport Anglican High School. After studying in the US at Salem State College, he returned home to work for the Colombian Emeralds International, before going back to school for his law degree at Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law Center (J.D., 2006). His father is well known international mountaineer David Mellor Sr. and his late mother was one of Freeport’s well-loved Real Estate Agents.

Super Lawyers, part of Thomson Reuters, is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area. The result is a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of exceptional attorneys.

Stephen concentrates his practice in PIP/No-Fault litigation, breach of contract claims, bodily injury and premises liability. Stephen is experienced in the interpretation of out-of-state insurance contracts, including the application of Canadian and other substantive state law to Florida insurance claims. He also handles complex cases involving admiralty and maritime issues.

“I am honored by this prestigious recognition and more for the fact that it is based on peer acknowledgment,” stated Mellor. “ It provides a sense of accomplishment and shows that any Bahamian, whether working at home or abroad, can become top in their field through dedication and hard work”.
