Board Certified Adoption Attorney Jeanne T. Tate has once again been recognized by Florida Super Lawyers, earning placement among the most highly ranked attorneys in the state for 2026.
In 2026, Jeanne was named:
- Top 5 Family Law Attorneys in Florida
- Top 100 Florida Super Lawyers
- Top 50 Women Florida Super Lawyers
- Top 50 Tampa Bay Super Lawyers
She is also featured on the cover of the 2026 Florida Super Lawyers magazine, marking the publication’s 20th Anniversary edition.
A Career Defined by Consistency
Jeanne’s recognition at this level is not new. She has been consistently ranked among the top attorneys in Florida, including prior placement in the Top 10 statewide across all practice areas.
Super Lawyers selects attorneys through a rigorous process involving peer nominations, independent research, and professional evaluation. Only a small percentage of attorneys are chosen each year, and even fewer are recognized at the highest tiers.
A Leader in Adoption Law
Jeanne has dedicated her career exclusively to adoption law and is one of a limited number of Board Certified Adoption Attorneys in Florida.
Her practice includes private newborn adoptions, contested adoption litigation, relative and stepparent adoptions, and DCF intervention cases. She also co leads the firm’s assisted reproductive law practice with Erica T. Healey and Molly E.P. McCarthy, guiding families through surrogacy and donor arrangements.
Families across Tampa Bay, Orlando, Miami, and throughout Florida turn to Jeanne for her depth of experience and thoughtful approach.
Setting the Standard in Florida
Jeanne’s recognition reflects decades of leadership in the adoption community and a continued commitment to excellence.
At Tate Healey Webster, her leadership remains central to the firm’s work. With offices in Tampa, Orlando, and Naples, and availability across Florida, the firm continues to serve families with a focus on clarity, compassion, and results.
