About Adam
Adam Hecht practices law in Florida, concentrating his work on medical malpractice matters. He is part of a team that pursues claims against health-care providers and institutions on behalf of patients and their families. His courtroom work and case preparation are grounded in a conventional litigation practice that combines investigation, expert development, and advocacy.
Hecht earned his J.D. from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 2009. Before that, he completed a B.A. in Political Science and Government at the University of Florida in 2005. His academic background in political science feeds an interest in how rules, institutions and professional standards shape results in individual cases.
He joined Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley PA in 2012 as a medical malpractice attorney. At the firm he moved into complex personal-injury litigation, focusing on claims that arise from alleged medical error. Over several years he took depositions, prepared expert reports, and argued motions. He has been part of trial teams and has handled pretrial strategy in cases involving surgery, delayed diagnosis and obstetric injuries.
Hecht represents plaintiffs in cases that require assembling medical records and consulting with treating clinicians and retained experts. He often works with physicians, nurses and other specialists to translate clinical events into a legal theory of negligence. His work requires attention to medical detail and the ability to explain technical points to judges and juries.
Outside the courtroom he maintains memberships in several professional organizations. He is active in the Palm Beach County Bar Association and the Palm Beach County Justice Association. He holds membership in the American Association for Justice and the Florida Justice Association. He is also a member of the Anti-Defamation League. These affiliations supply continuing-education opportunities and professional contacts that inform his litigation practice.
Colleagues describe Hecht as methodical in case preparation. He tends to break complex files into manageable pieces and prioritize early investigation. That approach helps in resolving disputed timelines and identifying key witnesses. It also shapes settlement discussions when cases move toward resolution.
