In recognition of closing these prominent deals he was named a Most Effective Lawyer by the Daily Business Review in two separate categories, Real Estate and International. In 2017, he was also recognized as a Florida Rising Star by Florida Super Lawyers and as a "Top Lawyer Under 40" by The Hispanic National Bar Association.
An active member in the community, Anthony serves as an adjunct professor and Advisory Committee Member for the University of Miami School of Law Masters in Real Property Development, as well as a Board Member of The Beacon Council.
