The article also highlights Becker & Poliakoff’s reputation as a bipartisan powerhouse in Washington, D.C., representing clients across the political spectrum. Franco reflects on the firm’s Florida origins, saying, “I was one of the first Florida guys that a lot of people in the state knew and worked with.
