Kansas City law firm expands to Florida, adds two Tampa-based partners

Stinson LLP, a national law firm headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, has opened an office in Tampa — its first in Florida — and appointed two locally based partners, Marc Weintraub and Stephen Putnoki-Higgins.

The pair, according to a news release, will work with another Stinson LLP partner, Todd Phelps, who’s been splitting time between Florida and Minnesota for several years. Weintraub comes to Stinson LLP after 17 years with Bailey & Glasser LLP, where he served as managing partner of the Charleston West Virginia-based firm’s Florida office. Putnoki-Higgins also practiced as a partner at Bailey & Glasser.
