Awards & Professional Recognition

Peer-Recognized Trial Lawyers Serving Fort Wayne and Warsaw

The recognition our firm has earned didn’t come from a single case or a good year. It came from doing the same thing for our clients over and over, preparing thoroughly, taking a hard line with insurance companies, and going to trial when that’s what it takes. The attorneys at Boughter Sinak, LLC have been recognized by peer-review organizations, national trial lawyer associations, and legal rating services that measure what personal injury attorneys actually accomplish for their clients.

Indiana Super Lawyers, Robert Boughter

Robert Boughter has been selected to the Indiana Super Lawyers list each year since 2020. It’s an honor presented each year to the top 5 percent of practicing attorneys in the state through a combination of peer nominations, independent research, and professional achievement evaluations. Robert’s path to that list started early in his career, when Super Lawyers named him a Rising Star, a designation reserved for no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys under 40 in Indiana.

National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 and Top 100

Robert was also named among the Top 40 Under 40 by The National Trial Lawyers early in his career, and has since been recognized among the organization’s Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Indiana. Membership in both groups is invitation-only and reflects standing among the most accomplished civil trial attorneys practicing in the state.

Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum

Robert has been certified as a life member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, one of the most prestigious groups of trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is limited to attorneys who have secured multi-million-dollar verdicts, awards, or settlements for their clients, a distinction achieved by fewer than 1 percent of attorneys nationwide. Robert’s case results include a $12 million recovery for a father of three seriously injured in a trucking accident, along with multiple other seven-figure recoveries.

America’s Top 100 Attorneys, Lifetime Achievement

Robert has also earned a Lifetime Achievement distinction from America’s Top 100 Attorneys, an organization that recognizes attorneys for sustained excellence in trial advocacy and client results over the course of a career, rather than for a single case or a single year.

Best Attorneys of America, Lifetime Charter Member

Robert holds a Lifetime Charter Membership with Best Attorneys of America, a peer-reviewed organization that recognizes attorneys for professional excellence and standing within the legal community.

Avvo Client Champion

Robert holds a Silver Client Champion distinction on Avvo, based on the quantity and quality of the client reviews he has received. The designation reflects an ongoing pattern of client satisfaction rather than a single review or referral.

Indiana Super Lawyers Rising Stars, Kenny Sinak

Founding partner Kenny Sinak was named to the Indiana Rising Stars list in consecutive years, a peer-driven honor that weighs professional achievement and courtroom performance for attorneys early in their careers. Kenny built that reputation the way most trial lawyers do, one case at a time. In one recent Fort Wayne matter, an insurer offered nothing to settle a client’s claim. Through thorough preparation and steady advocacy, Kenny took the case to trial and won a verdict that was three times what the client had been willing to accept.

A Growing Legal Team

Attorney Riley P. Anderson joined the Boughter Sinak legal team as a law clerk in 2022, working alongside Robert Boughter on depositions, medical records, and pre-litigation matters. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Toledo College of Law and was admitted to the Indiana bar in fall 2025. That hands-on experience means clients who work with Riley benefit from years of practical casework even early in his career as a practicing attorney.

Professional Associations and Admissions

Our attorneys maintain the professional standing and courtroom access that keep a trial-ready personal injury practice moving:

  • State Bar of Indiana: Both Robert and Kenny are active members in good standing.
  • U.S. District Court, Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana: Robert is admitted to practice in both federal districts.
  • Multi-State Case Reach: While based in Fort Wayne and Warsaw, Robert has represented clients in cases across Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

Put This Record to Work for You

The recognition we’ve earned reflects what our clients already know: we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, and we don’t settle cheap. We handle car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, workplace injuries, and wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis, so you owe us nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

If you’ve been seriously injured in Fort Wayne, Warsaw, or anywhere in Indiana, contact us today for a free consultation.

This law firm is great. They take the time to listen to your questions, very informative, and also do what it takes to win your case. If needed in the future I will use Boughter Sinak again.”
