(BPRW) FAMILY LAW SECTION OF THE FLORIDA BAR HONORS REP. CYNTHIA STAFFORD WITH 2013 LEGISLATOR AWARD

(BLACK PR WIRE) "" MIAMI, Fla. "" Representative Cynthia Stafford (D-Miami) was honored by the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar with the 2013 Legislator Award.

Represented Stafford attended the Family Law Section Annual Installation Luncheon during the Florida Bar's Annual Convention in Boca Raton, Florida where she received the award. Representative Stafford was recognized for her outstanding efforts on behalf of Florida's families throughout the 2013 Legislative Session.

"I am honored, humbled and surprised to have received this recognition from the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar," said Representative Stafford. "The honor is special to me, in part, because one of my top priorities as a legislator is to always fight for families and children in Florida. As an attorney, it is a great blessing to know that my efforts have been recognized by colleagues in Florida's legal community."

During the 2013 legislative session, Representative Stafford worked closely with the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar on issues of importance to families in Florida. Among other things, Representative Stafford was a vocal opponent of Senate Bill 718, a measure that would have ended permanent alimony in Florida.
