“The Warriors for Justice vision fits my personality perfectly as I am very tenacious.”

I began practicing law because I’ve always had great empathy for people who are suffering. The life stories of those who have been unjustly impacted by circumstances beyond their control inspire me to take action, and I’m able to turn my knowledge, experience, and heart to good use as a lawyer.

I have experience in several areas of the law, always with the aim of protecting innocent victims and being a source of comfort to clients. As a Personal Injury Attorney, I currently prosecute Personal Injury cases, representing the victims of negligence and accidents and protecting them from oppression and intimidation by big insurance companies.

Our firm’s Warriors for Justice vision fits my personality perfectly as I am very tenacious.  Once I set my mind on a task, there is no holding back, whether it be in the law, parenting, or in my community involvements.  I never give up. Taking the lead in our Mass Torts division gives me the opportunity to read and learn about the burgeoning scientific evidence surrounding the litigation. This is perfectly suited to what I love to do, dig in and learn every nuance of a case.

I have always had a strong passion for giving back to the community and am the driving force behind the LaBovick Law Group’s community outreach efforts by serving on several Boards, including FAWL (Florida Association for Women Lawyers) and PACE Center for Girls.

On a personal level, the number one joy and priority in my life is my 3 children and my husband. I love live music and am a fanatic about concerts.  I love to travel and eat, watch my children play sports, and lose myself in a good book. Born to Cuban parents, I am a proud Florida native and I love all of its quirkiness and weirdness, from frozen iguanas falling out of trees during our “winters,” to the “Beware of alligator” postings, Disney, the beach, the heat, the sun, and the fact that we are an important political swing state.

PREMISE LIABILITY

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
