Beam Legal Team is proud to congratulate Partner Matt Patterson on receiving the Highest Reported DuPage County Verdict or Settlement for a Medical Malpractice Case Award at the Jury Verdict Reporter Trial Lawyer Excellence Awards hosted by Law Bulletin Media.
This year’s ceremony, held on the evening of Oct. 29, 2025, at RPM Events in Chicago, brought together more than 400 trial attorneys and Illinois judges to recognize standout achievements in the legal field from across the state.
Presented annually by the Jury Verdict Reporter, a division of Chicago-based Law Bulletin Media, the Trial Lawyer Excellence Awards honor exemplary performance in courtroom advocacy. A total of 36 legal professionals from both sides of the trial bar were recognized in 17 categories for their exceptional results and commitment to justice.
Matt’s award, which reflects the highest reported medical malpractice verdict or settlement in DuPage County, highlights the skill, tenacity, and compassion he brings to every birth injury case he handles for Beam Legal Team.
Throughout his career, Matt has focused exclusively on obstetrical and neonatal negligence litigation, and he has fiercely advocated for children and families who have suffered life-altering injuries due to preventable medical errors. His work has consistently helped secure the compensation these children and their families need for lifelong care while also holding negligent providers accountable for failures during labor, delivery, and immediate postnatal treatment.
As a natural leader at our firm, Matt became the youngest lawyer in Beam Legal Team’s history to be elevated to partner when he earned the title in 2017. Since then, he has played an important role in helping the firm obtain numerous multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of families facing extraordinary medical costs after avoidable birth injuries.
Beam Legal Team proudly celebrates Matt’s well-deserved recognition and his continued dedication to advancing justice, accountability, and safer maternal and neonatal care nationwide. Congratulations once again, Matt, and thank you for your hard work on behalf of our clients.
