Congratulations to The Honorable Adam Bantner on his investiture as Judge of the County Court for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit.

The Brandon Area Bar Association was proud to witness this special moment last week as one of our members and co-founders took the bench. Judge Bantner’s service, leadership, and commitment to the legal community have made a lasting impact, and we are excited to see him continue that service in this new role.

The Brandon Area Bar & Professional Association extends a sincere thank you to Attorney Gary S. Lesser for taking the time out of his busy schedule to serve as our featured speaker for Ethics in the Digital Age: Perspectives on Professionalism, Mentoring, and AI.

His insight on ethics, professionalism, mentorship, social media, and the responsible use of AI was timely, practical, and important for the legal and professional world we live in today. As technology continues to change how we communicate, work, and serve our clients, conversations like this help remind us that professionalism, judgment, and trust must remain at the center of everything we do.

Thank you again to Mr. Lesser for sharing your time, experience, and leadership with the Brandon Area Bar & Professional Association. Lesser, Landy, Smith & Siegel - Florida Injury Lawyers

Special shout-out to our Program Chairs, Zhanna Mendolia, and Irina Sprouse for helping bring this program together and making it happen.
