Pensacola Attorney Named Rising Star

The firm of Emmanuel Sheppard & Condon is proud to announce that one of its attorneys, Rachel Sheffield, has been named a Rising Star by the Independent News.

Every year, the Independent News, a Pensacola news publication, awards the title of Rising Star to young professionals who were seen by their peers, clients and bosses as up and coming leaders in their fields and the community. Since the inception of the award 12 years ago, the Independent News has named over 550 men and women as Rising Stars. Several have gone on to seek and win political office.
