Adam Balkan of Balkan, Patterson & Charbonnet in Boca Raton is a force to be reckoned with in the legal world, fueled by his unwavering commitment to obtaining justice for those with little to no power.

It’s why the 2023 Florida Legal Awards Attorney of the Year finalist started his career as a prosecutor and has continued his career mainly as a plaintiffs’ lawyer, defending his clients against insurance companies and large corporations. A case he’s proud of recently in which the underdog won is a March 2022 case in which a jury awarded his client, who was rear-ended at an intersection, a verdict of $4 million. The jury’s decision is not the typical $100,000 offered by insurance companies.
