I come from a family who understands what this feels like. Their story inspired me from a young age to become a lawyer, so that I could bring new hope to others. And for nearly 20 years, I have fought for the rights of those who have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence. My team and I focus on building relationships with our clients based on trust and compassion.

My family originated in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. They lived a peaceful and comfortable life. But when Fidel Castro rose to power, everything changed dramatically. Stripped of their freedoms and all they had worked for, they courageously left their homeland and migrated to the United States. Life was forever changed.

They came to Florida with nothing but hope for a new future. Thankfully, after many years of struggle and hard work, they were able to piece their lives back together.

Raised by this loving family in Tampa, I was immersed in Latin culture. I embraced it all; from the Spanish we spoke, to the rice and beans we ate every day. With the little they had, they sacrificed and poured into me so that I could have hope for a better future. I knew early on that I wanted to be a lawyer and carry on the legacy they envisioned the moment they stepped on U.S. soil.
