- Florida-based attorneys gave at least hundreds of thousands of dollars directly to campaigns for Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
- Most of the firms, which included firms ranging from solo practice to Am Law firms, gave more money to Biden than Trump.
- Personal injury firms Morgan & Morgan and Dan Newlin Injury Attorneys gave a collective $250,000 in donations, making them the largest donors.
With the election cycle heating up and Vice President Kamala Harris set to inherit President Joe Biden's campaign funds, an analysis of campaign finance data shows that the Democratic presidential ticket has more financial support among Florida lawyers than the Republican ticket.
