Awards & Professional Recognition

National Excellence in Florida Trial Advocacy

At the Law Offices of Casey D. Shomo, P.A., we take pride in the professional recognition attorney Casey D. Shomo has earned over the years for his work on behalf of injured clients and families across Florida. These honors reflect more than a name on a list. They reflect reputation, ethics, results, and a long-standing commitment to serious injury litigation.

Awards are not the only measure that matters. People seeking legal help also want to know whether a law firm will give their case the attention it deserves and whether it can stand up to powerful defendants and insurers. Still, these recognitions offer another way to understand the level of respect our law firm has earned within the legal profession.

Below are several honors and recognitions for our law firm’s founder and for the work we do for the injured.

National Legal Honors And Professional Distinction

One of the most notable recent recognitions came in 2025, when Mr. Shomo was selected to the Nation’s Top One Percent by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel. That organization carefully evaluates its members through a thorough vetting process, in which honorees are selected by an attorney panel and approved by a judicial review board.

Mr. Shomo has been recognized as one of Florida’s Top Lawyers. That recognition reflects Mr. Shomo’s commitment to achieving successful results throughout his years of litigation work.

In addition, Mr. Shomo is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). Attorneys who belong to ABOTA are committed to preserving the civil jury trial system. That matters because trial experience shapes the strength and credibility of a serious injury practice.

Membership in the American Board of Trial Advocates is by invitation only. It signifies that a lawyer has not only tried a significant number of cases to a jury but has done so with the highest level of civility and integrity. For our clients, this means that the threat of a trial is real, and insurance companies know that Mr. Shomo is prepared and respected in the courtroom.

Peer-Reviewed Ratings And Ethical Standards

Mr. Shomo has also been recognized by respected peer-review systems that evaluate legal ability and ethical standards. He holds the AV Preeminent Peer Rated designation through Lawyers.com and Martindale-Hubbell. Lawyers.com describes that honor as its highest peer rating standard and says it’s awarded to attorneys recognized by their peers for very high ethical standards and professional excellence. This rating also reflects the highest level of professional excellence in legal ability and ethics.

This kind of recognition matters because it comes from how a lawyer is viewed within the legal profession by the attorney’s peers. For many people looking to hire an attorney, such awards demonstrate the high standards our law firm brings to every case.

Mr. Shomo has been recognized by Super Lawyers in the Florida region. This organization uses a patented, peer-influenced, research-driven selection process to identify the top 5% of attorneys in the state each year.

Results-Based Recognition And Trial Experience

Some recognitions say a great deal about the kinds of cases a law firm handles and the level of results it has achieved. In particular, Mr. Shomo is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

Membership in these organizations is limited to attorneys who have won million-dollar or multimillion-dollar settlements for their clients, and notes that fewer than one percent of attorneys qualify. As a sole practitioner, Mr. Shomo has recovered $85+ million for his clients in Palm Beach Gardens and throughout Florida.

Being a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum as a sole practitioner is a distinct advantage for Mr. Shomo’s clients. It means you get the high-level resources and heavy-hitter results associated with large firms, but with the direct, personal attention of the attorney whose name is on the door. Every million-dollar result in our firm’s history was won through a focused, one-on-one commitment to the client's future.

Legal Insights on Florida Personal Injury Law

Mr. Shomo also regularly publishes in-depth expert articles on personal injury legal topics as an informative resource to help Florida residents stay current on the laws and safety regulations that may impact their recovery after an accident.

What These Recognitions Mean For Our Clients

For people considering hiring our law firm, the real question is usually not whether a law firm has won awards. What most people want to know is what those recognitions say about how we handle legal cases.

In our view, such awards and recognitions reflect a pattern of professional excellence, our extensive litigation experience, and our long-standing commitment to helping and respecting injured people achieve their goals during this difficult moment in their lives.
