Michael E. Radell, 66 passed away Saturday, December 30, 2017.  A longtime resident of Pinecrest, Mike adored his daughters, Amy and Samantha and his wife of 37 years, Beverly.  His granddaughter Cate was his delight.
His passion for travel led to many adventurous trips around the world. Getting lost was a certainty.  A graduate of UM Law School, he was a true football fan – Go Canes!
Mike graduated cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law, and earned a Masters in Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, after receiving his undergraduate degree from Pennsylvania State University.  Mike co-founded the firm of Bercow Radell Fernandez & Larkin in 1996, after practicing at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan’s Miami office, and before that at the Miami law firm of Steel Hector & Davis.  Before graduating law school in 1986 and while in law school, Mike was an environmental planner at the County’s Planning Department, where he was involved in the development of Dade County’s Severable Use Rights Ordinance and the East Everglades Management Plan, and was also the author of the County’s Infill Development Strategies Report.  Mike’s expertise in environmental law was consistently recognized by his peers and numerous publications, including Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers and Florida Trend’s Legal Elite.  He was a mentor to the younger attorneys at his law firm, and helped teach many of them much of what they know about land use and environmental law.  As the senior partner in the firm, he will be sorely missed.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Beverly; daughters, Amy (Alex) and Samantha; granddaughter, Cate and mother, Mary Radell.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are requested to your favorite charity.
The family will receive guests on Wednesday, January 3, 2018 from 6-7pm with a memorial service beginning at 7pm at Stanfill Funeral Home.
