WEST PALM BEACH, FL, July 11, 2026 -- Matt Shafran, Managing Partner of the Criminal Defense division at Weinstein Legal Team, has been officially recognized as one of The Boca Raton Observer's Top Lawyers of 2026. This is the second year in a row that Shafran has been recognized.
This prestigious honor highlights Shafran's legal expertise, professional reputation, and unwavering commitment to his clients within the South Florida community.
In partnership with DataJoe, a leading national research firm, The Boca Raton Observer conducts a rigorous, independent selection process to identify the region's premier legal talent. Inclusion in the Top Lawyers list is exclusively peer-nominated; it cannot be purchased and is not influenced by firm size or advertising. The final selection reflects the high regard in which Shafran is held by his colleagues in the Florida Bar.
"Being recognized by my peers in the Boca Raton community is a profound honor," said Matt Shafran. "In criminal defense, the stakes are incredibly high—we are often protecting a person's future and their freedom. This award is a testament to the hard work our entire team puts in to ensure every client receives a rigorous and fair defense."
A former Assistant State Attorney for Palm Beach County, Shafran brings a unique perspective to Weinstein Legal Team. His transition from prosecutor to defense attorney has given him an "insider's view" of the judicial system, enabling him to navigate complex criminal cases, ranging from DUIs and drug offenses to high-stakes violent crimes, with precision and strategic depth.
The 2026 Top Lawyers list will be featured in the September Business & Wealth issue of The Boca Raton Observer.
