Attorney Profiles

Andrew B. Blasi | Email

Mr. Andrew B. Blasi has over thirty years of practice experience in South Florida. He began his legal career in Miami in 1983 working with former Florida Attorney General Robert Shevin at the prestigious multi-state firm of Sparber, Shevin, Shapo & Heilbronner, which thereafter merged with the renowned worldwide Stroock & Stroock & Lavan law firm headquartered in New York City. Mr. Blasi was also one of the founding partners of the highly regarded regional Fort Lauderdale firm of Berger & Blasi, now known as Berger & Singerman following his departure from that firm and subsequent relocation to Palm Beach County where he established the present Shapiro, Blasi, Wasserman & Gora law firm in 2001 along with named partner Michael Shapiro. Mr. Blasi has possessed the very highest Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Preeminent “AV” Rating for more than twenty years, which is a testament to the fact that fellow lawyers have ranked him at the very highest level of professional excellence for well over two decades.

Mr. Blasi's main areas of practice include business and commercial transactions and contracts, transactional real estate and finance, residential and commercial real estate development, mortgage and asset-based lending, workouts and creditors’ rights. Mr. Blasi's practice also extends to the litigation and arbitration of disputes which are related to his main areas of practice.  

Mr. Blasi has the distinct honor and privilege of having been repeatedly chosen by members of The Florida Bar and a Blue Ribbon Panel of prominent lawyers as one of the State’s annual "Florida Legal Elite," which is a prestigious group comprising the most highly regarded top one percent of lawyers practicing in the State of Florida whose exceptional credentials and accomplishments were subjected to a rigorous peer review process following nomination. As a repeat Florida Legal Elite honoree, Mr. Blasi has been included in the special annual editions of Florida Trend magazine, which boasts an influential circulation to over 300,000 readers who include Florida's top business, professional and governmental leaders and decision-makers. 

On August 22, 2011, following a rigorous evaluative process conducted by the editorial staff, Mr. Blasi was selected for inclusion in the 2011-2012 edition of “Sutton’s Who’s Who in American Law”, which is a national honor bestowed upon only the most distinguished of legal professionals based upon their credentials and accomplishments. In addition, Mr. Blasi was recognized as one of "Palm Beach and Martin County's Top Lawyers" in the 2011 Palm Beach Illustrated Magazine and has also achieved a "Superb" Avvo Rating (10 out of 10), which is a coveted award of distinction which results from numerous endorsements which Mr. Blasi has directly earned from the clients who he has represented.
