 * Delete The "Awards and distinctions" section at first suggested notability but those are all professional listing services the usability of which for notability purposes is questionable for a number of reasons. However I'm not expert so would defer to opinion if these are significant distinctions for WP:ANYBIO purpose. Otherwise surprisingly very little shows up in a plain Google search and nothing in Google Books. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 06:18, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Promotional and not notable. Coretheapple (talk) 13:16, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as bordering on spam. Ironically, Leslie J. Lott, his wife is, in my mind, more notable than he is.  All that "Super Lawyer .. Best Lawyers ... Top Lawyer ... Elite Florida Lawyers ... Who’s Who In American Law" is just self-promotion.  Lots of very ordinary lawyers get into those lists, which are based on ye old boy's network.  There are over 100,000 members of the American Bar Association, and AV is just as commonplace.  I'm not impressed, from what I read in the article as currently written. His only claim to notability is the relatively rare practice of admiralty law - that's a hook that would change my mind if it were actually better sourced. Bearian (talk) 19:11, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
