PRESIDENT’S LETTER
DEAR FJA® EAGLE® MEMBERS,
THIS year, as your President-elect, I’ve had the privilege of standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the most dedicated advocates for justice in our state. It is no small feat to face down the relentless forces seeking to undermine Florida’s civil justice system. But our EAGLE members have never backed down from a tough fight.
From sweeping tort reform proposals to targeted efforts to shield wrongdoers from accountability, the opposition is willing to say and do anything to protect profits over people. But we know better. Thanks to the strength of the FJA EAGLE program, we are ready.
FJA EAGLE members like you are willing to do whatever it takes to move justice forward, whether that’s walking the halls of the Capitol, testifying before committees, or taking time away from your practices and families to lobby in Tallahassee. You are not afraid to expose the manufactured narratives used by the insurance industry and remind lawmakers what justice really looks like: real people, real families, real stories.
We fight for a future where every Floridian, regardless of their zip code, bank account, or background, has a fair shot to seek redress for their injury. We fight because the civil justice system was never meant to serve only the powerful.
The battles we face each year reinforce what we’ve always known: our cause is just. The other side may have deep pockets and powerful lobbies, but we have something they don’t—principle, purpose, and people who are willing to do whatever it takes to protect and preserve Florida’s civil justice system.
This Tribute Book is dedicated to you, the FJA EAGLEs who answered the call. You funded our response, elevated your voices, brought clients forward, and strengthened our ability to protect the constitutional rights of all Floridians. You are the reason we can fight back and win.
In these pages, you’ll find:
• 2025 EAGLE Legacy Award recipients
• 2025 Legend, Gold, Silver, and Bronze EAGLE Award recipients
• 2025 Recruiting Champion

Sincerely,

Inaugural Recipient of the Legate Award CHRISTIAN D. SEARCY:
IN ancient Rome, a legate (legatus) was more than just a military commander. Appointed by the emperor and often drawn from the Senate’s most respected ranks, the legate led legions into battle and shaped the direction of Rome’s military conquests. They were trusted stewards and figures of strength, strategy, and service.
The FJA’s Legate Award recognizes those who have not only stood on the frontlines in protecting and preserving Florida’s civil justice system, but who have invested extraordinary personal resources to safeguard its future. It is a distinction reserved for those who lead not only by example, but with action.
Fittingly, the inaugural recipient of the Legate Award is Christian D. Searcy—a trial lawyer whose career has defined what it means to be both a champion in the courtroom and a commanding force in the preservation of justice. Through his lifetime contributions exceeding $1 million to the FJA’s EAGLE program, and a decades-long legacy of advocacy, Christian D. Searcy exemplifies the spirit of the legate: a leader appointed not by title, but by trust, loyalty, and service to the cause.
As President and CEO of Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, P.A., Christian D. Searcy has dedicated more than 46 years to representing victims of catastrophic injury and wrongful death. His legal career is distinguished by a relentless pursuit of justice and a profound impact on the legal community.
At just 29 years old, Searcy achieved national recognition as the youngest attorney in the United States to secure a $1 million verdict in a single-plaintiff personal injury case.
This early milestone set the tone for a career marked by significant verdicts and settlements, many exceeding $1 million, reflecting his exceptional trial skills and dedication to his clients. He made history again in 2007, when he achieved four 8-figure verdicts in one calendar year, totaling over $100 million recovered for his clients.
Searcy’s contributions to the legal profession extend beyond the courtroom. He has served as President of the Academy of Florida Trial Lawyers, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, the National Trial Lawyers Association, and the Florida Supreme Court Historical Society. Inducted into the National Trial Lawyers Hall of fame in 2015, his leadership roles have influenced legal practices and policies and have fostered a more just legal system.
His accolades include the FJA’s Perry Nichols Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Association recognizing a lifetime of outstanding service to the cause of justice. He also was the first recipient of the FJA’s “Passionate Gladiator” award, presented to an attorney with over 30 years of experience exemplifying the persistence and intensity needed to effectively represent consumers. Additionally, he received the “War Horse Award” from the Southern Trial Lawyers Association, honoring his extraordinary contributions to the legal field.
Searcy’s commitment to education and mentorship is evident through his extensive lecturing and writing on civil litigation, personal injury, and wrongful death. He has lectured at countless FJA CLE events, including FJA’s John Romano Workhorse Seminar, Annual Convention, Masters of Justice, and the FJA REF Steve Yerrid Ski Seminar, to name a few. His namesake CLE program, the FJA’s
Christian D. Searcy Voir Dire Institute, teaches attorneys in the field how to excel not only at voir dire, but also in their practices. Over the course of his career he has influenced countless legal profes sionals, shared his insights, and fostered the development of future trial lawyers.
A champion for civil justice, Searcy also makes time to support his community and local philanthropic efforts. Searcy supports nu merous nonprofit organizations dedicated to assisting others living with a disability, enhancing education, and promoting community advancement. His generosity and civic engagement exemplify the values that the Legate Award seeks to honor.
The Legate Award celebrates individuals whose lifetime contribu tions have significantly advanced the mission of the Association. Christian D. Searcy’s unwavering dedication to justice, his exem plary legal career, and his substantial support of the FJA EAGLE program embody the spirit of this award.
As the first recipient of the Legate Award, Searcy sets a high stan dard for future honorees. His legacy serves as an inspiration to all who strive to uphold the principles of justice and advocate for the rights of the injured.
The Florida Justice Association extends its heartfelt congratula tions to Christian D. Searcy on this well-deserved recognition and expresses profound gratitude for his enduring contributions to the legal community and the pursuit of justice.

“Given the support and sense of community the FJA provides, we should all consider contributing to this critical organization as a privilege, not an obligation.” — Ted Forman
Ted Forman’s rise from a jobless newcomer in Florida to a leading medical malpractice litigator showcases his resilience and the power of community. Now the founder of Forman Law Offices, P.A. in Delray Beach, Ted represents plaintiffs in medical malpractice, serious injury, and mass tort cases. Originally from Detroit, he graduated with honors from the University of Detroit School of Law, began his career at the U.S. Department of Justice, and was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1991. His early recognition as an Outstanding Trial Attorney and experience as a federal prosecutor sharpened his skills for complex litigation.
In 1996, Ted arrived in Florida with no resources or clients but took on two birth injury cases, self-educating in medical malpractice. A 1999 trial resulting in a $6 million verdict marked a turning point, cementing his reputation as a tenacious trial attorney. A proud EAGLE member of the Florida Justice Association, Ted credits the organization for his growth and success. Beyond the courtroom, he has served as Chairman of the Board for the Easter Seals Society of Broward County, providing pro bono services and support, reflecting his commitment to justice and community.

A cornerstone is defined as “something that is essential, indispensable, or basic.” It is: “the chief foundation on which something is constructed or developed.” With this in mind, FJA created the Cornerstone Award as a tribute to those who have worked tirelessly over the last year to bring new members into the organization. Recipients of this award were selected based on the number of members they recruited as well as the monetary value of those memberships.
Congratulations and thank you to our 2025 Cornerstone recipients. We would like to thank all of our members for their assistance with recruiting efforts .

Proud to support the Florida Justice Association
Felipe Blanco considers personal injury attorneys who help families find remedies for negligent injuries as unsung heroes. With continuous efforts from outside forces attempting to limit access to courts and reduce remedies to injured victims, many families would be in devastating positions.
His passion in the financial industry is to help you and your clients navigate the financial process during litigation. This includes defining anticipated financial needs of a client prior to litigation, as well as further development and coordination of wealth plans for your clients post-settlement.
Felipe Blanco is proud to have been involved with the FJA for over 20 years, and is a Double EAGLElevel Business Friend of EAGLE. He extends his sincere appreciation to the FJA for its ongoing efforts to defend the civil justice system.
