I've been serving the citizens of the South Florida region for more than 16 years, as I first began as a prosecutor in the Broward County State Attorney's office in 1995. Now that I'm a partner in the firm of Balkan & Patterson, the experience I've gained helps me to represent consumers, insurance policyholders, the injured and their families, and people who have been wronged due to negligence or intentional acts. I have been involved in nationwide class actions and have tried over 100 jury trials and have achieved the highest peer review rating for ability and ethics from Martindale-Hubble.
