Hector Lombana, one of Gamba & Lombana's founding partners, was recently selected to be included in the 2011 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Best Lawyers is a nationwide list, divided into 80 practice areas, in which selections are based exclusively on peer-review. Lombana was selected for the medical malpractice practice area.

"I'm honored to be included on this list, but it is also a major recognition for our firm as a whole," said Lombana. "We can't ask for more than to be recognized and honored by our peers."

Lombana is a past president and director of the Cuban American Bar Association, a member of the Inner Circle of the Hispanic National Bar Association, member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers and the Florida Association for Women Lawyers. A member of the Federal Trial Bar, he is a past chair and current member of the Third District Court of Appeal Judicial Nominating Commission and a former member of the Florida Bar Civil Procedure Rules Committee. Lombana graduated magna cum laude from Rutgers University and received his law degree from the Rutgers University Law School.
