I am honored and humbled to take the helm as the 2017 President of the Miami Dade Trial Lawyers Association. On behalf of the MDTLA, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Judges, MDTLA Past Presidents, our Members and Corporate and Law Firm Sponsors, for your longstanding support for this organization.

The MDTLA is committed to the pursuit of justice, individual rights and access to courts for our clients, no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. As trial lawyers, we will continue to fight for consumer rights, civil liberties and to protect and defend the constitution.

This year is dedicated to Celebrating Our Diversity. We celebrate the diversity of the Greater  

Miami Community, the diversity of the clients we represent and the diversity of our legal community. We see that same diversity being represented in the judiciary and amongst our membership.

We have planned numerous events throughout the year where you participate with colleagues, share trial strategies, network with other professionals and members of the bench, and participate in public service activities like feeding the homeless and volunteering with foster children, and so many other rewarding activities.

Please join us as we celebrate our diversity and continue the fight for justice, an independent judiciary and access to the courts for all.
