St. Pete Bar Foundation Honors 'Heroes'

More than 200 people attended the Jan. 29 St. Petersburg Bar Foundation's "Heroes Among Us" dinner at the Don Cesar Beach Resort. Three lawyers were honored: Louie Adcock Jr., Danell G. DeBerg and the late H. James Fischer.

Adock, a Korean War veteran, has served on the boards of numerous community organizations, including Bay Area Legal Services, the St. Petersburg Bar Association and the Florida Bar Board of Governors. He was chairman of the bar committee that helped the Florida Legislature rewrite the probate laws in 1999 to benefit surviving spouses. And he's the past recipient of the St. Petersburg Bar/GCBR Professionalism Award. He's a partner at Fisher & Sauls PA.
