Before Brinkley Morgan partner Kenneth Gordon led the firm’s family law department in Fort Lauderdale, he majored in advertising and marketing, acquiring skills that have come in handy when selling his client’s story to a judge.

“I’m like a producer of infomercials,” Gordon said. “I produce this infomercial called ‘Your Point of View’ to show to the court, and I have a limited amount of time to do it.”
