Moritt Hock & Hamroff announced the opening of a new office in the Fort Lauderdale, FL metro area serving the Southeast Florida market. The office will be supported by four attorneys from the Florida-based law firm of Ritter & Chusid including one of its founders, Gregory J. Ritter, who will be a partner. Joining with Greg Ritter are Gary Rosner as partner, Evan Rosenberg as counsel, and Olivia Retenauer as an associate. This announcement continues the firm's commitment to Florida, having opened its first office in Naples in 2019.

The further expansion of the firm’s presence in Southeast, FL, with the opening of a Fort Lauderdale office was driven by the increased needs of the firm's clients and the business they are conducting in the Miami to West Palm corridor. The office will focus on the firm's core practice areas of litigation, real estate, commercial lending, dispute resolution, and trusts and estates. It is the firm's first fully staffed office outside of New York. This expansion continues the significant and measured growth of the firm since 2017 including its emerging New York City presence, and the growth of its Trusts & Estates and Corporate practices following the acquisition of attorney groups in both practice areas. Greg Ritter and his team have worked with the attorneys of Moritt Hock & Hamroff for decades on matters involving both New York and Florida litigations and transactions, an important component in the decision to expand into Southeast Florida.

"Our presence in Florida is an important part of our continuing growth. My partners and I are delighted to welcome Greg and his exceptional team of attorneys to our firm," said Marc Hamroff, Managing Partner at Moritt Hock & Hamroff. "Their solid reputation, extensive experience and commitment to success and client satisfaction has produced the kind of results for their clients that perfectly reflect and align with our ‘Strength In Partnership’ approach to the practice of law."  

"Joining Moritt Hock & Hamroff is truly an exciting move for our group and represents a vital next step in our professional growth," said Greg Ritter. "We are excited to start this new chapter and look forward to continuing to service the needs of our clients with the significant support a full-service business law firm like Moritt Hock & Hamroff can provide."
