Adam C. Finkel

Finkel also represented a young father, Dimithry Remarais, who was shot and killed in the parking lot of his apartment complex of three, and secured a $25 Million settlement for his two surviving daughters. In addition, Finkel represented another father who was shot and catastrophically injured while in the valet area of Miami Beach’s famed “Prime 112” restaurant. Establishing that the restaurant could, and should have protected his client, Finkel secured a $12 Million settlement. Months later, Finkel helped obtain a $10 Million settlement for two families in Pensacola, Florida, after their sons were shot and killed in two Pensacola low-income housing complexes managed by the same company.

Named in 2023 as one of Best Lawyers in America’s ‘Ones to Watch,’ and a member of Miami Dade Bar’s Circle of Excellence, Finkel works tirelessly to support those catastrophically injured and needing of help. Finkel, a member of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance and Broward County Drowning Prevention Task Force, has successfully helped families impacted by childhood drownings, including obtaining a $15.5 Million Dollar settlement for a family that lost their son in a residential detention pond, an $11.95 Million settlement for a family that lost their son in a residential community pool drowning incident, a $10.5 Million settlement in 2023 for a family that lost their daughter with special needs to a drowning in their neighbor’s pool, a nearly $8 Million settlement for a family that lost a loved in a retention pond drowning, and a $4.25 Million settlement for a family who lost their son in a drowning incident in Dakota County, Minnesota in 2022.

A father to two young boys, Harry and Dean, Finkel takes pride in helping families through their toughest moments. One of his most notable cases involved a 9-year-old boy who fell from the 7th-story window of an apartment building in North Miami. Whereas other attorneys believed help could not be provided, Finkel worked with young the boy’s parents to obtain an $11 Million settlement and enable his family to afford transformative rehabilitative treatment.

While at The Haggard Law Firm, Finkel also assisted many persons injured in automobile and trucking accidents, including securing an $8.5 Million settlement for a father of two struck by a commercial tractor-trailer, a $5.95 Million settlement for the family of young Anthony Rojo who was struck and killed by a vehicle operated by the general manager of an automobile dealership, and a $1.05 Million settlement for a person injured in a ride-share accident.

A Dean’s List student from Syracuse University, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Relations and a minor in Political Science, Finkel then earned his juris doctorate from Brooklyn Law School with an academic achievement scholarship. During law school, he served as a law clerk for the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.

A New York native, Finkel is a member of the Florida and New York Bars, and admitted to practice in all Florida State courts, New York State courts, and the United States District Court for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida. He presently serves as Vice President of the Miami Dade Bar.
