In this episode of Living in South Florida, Andrew Burr interviews Mickey Smith, a partner at Lesser Lesser Landy and Smith. Smith grew up in West Virginia and attended various schools before moving to Palm Beach County and eventually to Wellington. The economy in South Florida is thriving due to the influx of companies, particularly hedge funds and medical research companies, creating high-paying jobs. The economy is now diversified with other income generators, such as financial companies, medical research, and retirement communities. Lesser Lesser Landy and Smith, a personal injury attorney, has offices in Boca, West Palm, Wellington, and Stuart. Smith is a philanthropist and sponsors a charity raffle with $5,000 prize money, which goes directly to children-related charities. The small town of Wellington, Florida, has grown significantly over the years due to its diverse culture, economy, and proximity to major cities like Miami.
