     Recently, Mr. Goran was listed by Florida Trend Magazine as one of its "Legal Elite" attorneys, as selected by his peers. This magazine includes a list of 1,352 lawyers in the state of Florida which constitutes less than 2% of the nearly 66,000 active attorneys in Florida Bar. To receive this designation, lawyers throughout the state were asked to name attorneys with whom they hold the highest regard, or would recommend to others. Each lawyer was given a score based on the number of votes received: one point for the votes from within their firm, or three points for voters from outside their firm. Only lawyers who are currently licensed and practicing in Florida were eligible for selection. Finally, a panel of elite attorneys representing different practice areas in cities across the state review the selection process before the final list is created.

   Mr. Goran graduated in 1986 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Miami. He earned his Juris Doctrine Degree from the St. Thomas University School of Law in 1992.
