Florida real estate attorney Ben Solomon is celebrating two decades in private practice, marking a significant milestone in his legal career. His two successful law firms, Solomon Cooperman Recondo Shapiro Abril LLP (SCRSA) and Association Law Group, P.L. (ALG), have expanded their presence across South Florida, including new offices in Panorama Tower.
Two Decades of Legal Excellence
Ben Solomon embarked on his legal career after graduating with honors from the University of Miami School of Law. Following a tenure at the national law firm Duane Morris LLP, he founded his first law firm in 2005. Since then, he has become a trusted advisor to a diverse clientele, including premier real estate developers, financial institutions, healthcare facilities, and residential communities throughout Florida.
Growth and Expansion of Law Firms
Solomon currently serves as Managing Partner of Solomon Cooperman Recondo Shapiro Abril LLP (SCRSA), a full-service law firm with offices in Brickell/Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Boca Raton. SCRSA is known for handling high-stakes real estate transactions, developer representation, banking matters, collections, and litigation. Its impressive client roster includes names like Lennar, Shoma Group, Truist, City National Bank, and Popular Bank.
In 2006, Solomon also established Association Law Group, P.L. (ALG), a boutique firm specializing in general counsel services for hundreds of condominiums and homeowner associations statewide. ALG provides expertise in collections, governance, contracts, and litigation for notable properties such as Four Seasons Surf Club, Ritz Carlton Miami Beach, and Keys Gate Community.
Both firms have recently undergone significant expansions:
- A luxurious, custom-designed main office was opened on the 52nd floor of Panorama Tower, Florida’s tallest building, in January.
- A 20th-anniversary celebration in May drew hundreds of guests.
- The firms’ Broward offices at NuRiver Landing in downtown Fort Lauderdale were recently remodeled to support growing teams.
Strategic Talent Acquisition and Client-Centric Approach
Solomon has strategically strengthened his firms by bringing in top-tier legal talent, including:
- Jorge M. Abril (over 35 years in healthcare collections)
- Craig B. Shapiro (over 25 years in civil litigation)
- Howard S. Weinberg (over 35 years of legal experience, current Mayor of Aventura)
SCRSA prides itself on offering "big firm" experience with more affordable billing rates, with partners charging under $800 an hour. Solomon emphasizes a solution-oriented approach to achieve the best outcomes for clients.
Community Involvement
Beyond his legal practice, Solomon is actively involved in community support through pro-bono services and charitable contributions. His philanthropic efforts benefit organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami, the Dolphins Cancer Challenge, and Goodwill.
