Burr’s Jacqueline Simms-Petredis was nominated by her peers as one of Tampa Bay’s top commercial finance attorneys for the 2020 Top Lawyers List in Tampa Magazines. The magazine sent surveys to nearly 7,000 attorneys practicing in Hillsborough County, asking them to nominate their peers that stand out from the rest. Practicing Tampa Bay attorneys selected 153 of their peers from 84 different practice areas as 2020’s Top Lawyers.

The annual Top Lawyers edition is featured in all three of the Tampa Magazine publications – TAMPA Magazine, South Tampa Magazine, and TAMPA Downtown Magazine. The list is considered a valuable resource that readers consult when needing legal advice and guidance.

At Burr, Jacqueline serves as a Partner in the firm's Financial Services group with a focus on financial litigation and compliance. She assists clients in matters such as foreclosures, bankruptcy adversary proceedings, compliance issues and directly filed lawsuits.

Jacqueline advises clients and in-house counsel in litigation arising under the Truth in Lending Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Florida Consumer Collections Practices Act, Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, among others.
