Jordan Maglich, 35

Much of Jordan Maglich’s law practice centers on winning back large payouts for victims of fraud schemes, and his “Ponzitracker” blog — an online resource that tracks the proliferation of Ponzi schemes nationwide — has drawn accolades from the American Bar Association Journal and Lexis Nexis. 

But Maglich, a commercial litigator with Quarles & Brady in Tampa, has not lost sight of what the American legal system aspires to offer: justice for all — rich, poor and everyone in between.

“A couple of years ago, I volunteered for the Clemency Project,” he says. “It was something created by the Justice Department and President Obama that was trying to rectify some of the crazy sentencing disparities that occurred in the 1970s and '80s for low-level drug offenders. I took on a couple of cases and ended up getting pretty significant relief for some of them.”
