Adam Balkan of Boca Raton Law Firm Balkan & Patterson Recognized as Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer by The Florida Bar
Boca Raton, FL – Trial attorney Adam Balkan of the Boca Raton law firm of Balkan & Patterson, LLP, has received his board certification as a civil trial lawyer from The Florida Bar, which is the highest recognition in the state.
Board certification is the highest level of recognition by The Florida Bar of the competency and experience of attorneys in the areas of law approved for certification by the Supreme Court of Florida.
“Earning board certification is a goal for many attorneys, and this will allow me to provide the best legal services possible to those injured by someone else’s negligence,†said Mr. Balkan. “It is a wonderful personal achievement, but most importantly, I will be able to assist our firm’s clients on a new level.â€
According to The Florida Bar, board certified lawyers in civil trial law handle litigation of civil controversies in all areas of substantive law before state and federal courts, administrative agencies and arbitrators. Civil trial law includes evaluating, handling and resolving civil controversies prior to the initiation of suit, in addition to the actual pretrial and trial process.
Qualifications of board certified civil trial lawyers are stringent: Every board certified civil trial lawyer must have practiced law for at least five years with a major focus in the area of civil trial law during the three years prior to application.
Each certified lawyer is required to have conducted at least 15 contested civil cases in courts of general jurisdiction, including cases before a jury and as lead counsel. With more than 15 years of experience as an attorney, Mr. Balkan has tried more than 100 jury trials and dozens of non-jury trials. Other requirements of board certification include peer review, 50 hours of continuing legal education within the three years prior to application, and a written exam that tests knowledge, skills and proficiency in the field of civil trial law to justify the representation of special competence.
The law firm of Balkan & Patterson represents consumers and injured people in class action lawsuits and mass tort litigation throughout Florida and the United States, in both federal and state courts. Attorneys at the firm also work in the areas of personal injury, auto accidents, premises liability and insurance litigation.
