"Doris and Gabriel's experience in complex commercial and consumer financial services litigation complements the existing strengths of our practice and allows us to better serve clients doing business in Florida," said Mark New, who heads the firm's Florida operations.

Negrin is a seasoned litigator who has successfully represented corporate clients in state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels, as well as in arbitration proceedings and in bankruptcy.

She also holds a B.A. in Political Science from Florida International University.

Hartsell's practice focuses on the representation of commercial lenders and businesses involved in complex commercial litigation, real estate litigation, and financial services litigation. He is licensed to practice in Florida and Georgia, and has handled a broad array of business litigation and insurance defense matters for clients across both those states, with experience in complex contractual disputes, subrogation and indemnity prosecution, and litigation involving real property, banking, transportation, premises liability, professional liability, employers' liability, products liability, maritime personal injury, workers' compensation, and insurance coverage. Hartsell is a 2010 graduate of the Florida State University College of Law, where he received his J.D., cum laude, and received his International Law Certificate, magna cum laude. He received his B.S. in Psychology, magna cum laude, from Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2007.
