Matt Shafran Named a Top Boca Raton Lawyer for Second Consecutive Year

Matt Shafran, the Managing Partner of the Criminal Defense division at Weinstein Legal Team, has been honored as a 2026 Top Lawyer by The Boca Raton Observer. This marks his second consecutive year receiving this prestigious recognition, which is determined through an independent, peer-nominated selection process conducted in partnership with DataJoe. The accolade underscores Shafran’s exceptional legal expertise and his steadfast commitment to protecting the rights and futures of his clients across South Florida.

As a former Assistant State Attorney for Palm Beach County, Shafran leverages his extensive prosecutorial background to provide clients with a distinct strategic advantage. This "insider perspective" allows him to navigate complex criminal litigation, from DUI and drug-related charges to high-stakes violent crimes, with surgical precision. His ability to anticipate prosecutorial tactics remains a cornerstone of the firm’s successful defense strategies and reputation for excellence within the Florida legal community.

The Weinstein Legal Team continues to uphold its "Law of We" philosophy, prioritizing a collaborative and client-centered approach to legal representation. With multiple offices across the region, the firm remains deeply dedicated to both high-level courtroom advocacy and meaningful community involvement. Shafran’s recognition will be prominently featured in the upcoming September Business & Wealth issue of The Boca Raton Observer, cementing his status as a premier legal advocate in the region.
