Picture of Leonard S. Englander

Lenny is the founding partner of Englander Fischer. He received his B.A. from the State University of New York and J.D. from Stetson University College of Law. Lenny proudly notes that Stetson is tied for 3rd in the U.S. News & World Report rankings of the best trial advocacy schools in the nation. 

Lenny has been Board Certified in Business Litigation by the Florida Bar since 1997, a distinction held by as few as 214 attorneys statewide. He served for six years as a member of the Florida Bar Business Litigation Certification Committee and as its statewide Chair from 2005 to 2006. Lenny has been annually honored by his peers as a member of “Florida’s Legal Elite” in the area of business litigation. He was named a “Super Lawyer” by The Wall Street Journal, and consistently listed in publications as one of Tampa Bay’s Top Lawyers in Civil Litigation.

Having practiced for nearly 50 years, he  possesses considerable business, corporate and real estate experience which he channels into the business and litigation arena. He handles a broad range of matters and complexity, and has acted as a trusted counsel, guiding public and private corporations through Florida, Federal and bankruptcy court proceedings as well as arbitrations and mediations. Lenny’s counsel is often sought in bet the company decisions and legal matters.

He is a member of the Florida Bar and admitted to practice before all Florida courts, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida,  the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Tax Court. He prides himself on a common sense approach to business and economic realities and when necessary, aggressive, level-headed advocacy, always guided by what he terms “courageous professionalism”.

Lenny and his wife Betsy reside in St. Petersburg where they have served on a variety of charitable organizations including the Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital Foundation Board, the Dali Museum Foundation Board, CASA (Community Action Stops Abuse), the Free Clinic and Menorah Manor. When not in the office, he can be found fishing with a salt water fly rod.
