Alfie Leon is the second name on the door. Most of his cases are injury claims and lawsuits against insurance companies, so his days are split between client calls, negotiations with adjusters, depositions, and court. Many clients, including Spanish-speaking families in Palm Beach County, work with him in Spanish from start to finish.
Alfie is a Miami native and studied at Florida International University, earning a B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology and serving as Student Body President. He graduated from the FIU College of Law in 2014, where he was on the Board of Advocates, worked in the Health Law and Policy Clinic, and received the Public Service Award.
Earlier in his career he was Chief Policy Advisor for the City of Miami. His public service also includes the FIU Board of Trustees, the Miami-Dade Commission on Human Rights (as a member and hearing officer), and the Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade, where he was Vice-Chair. He is a member of The Florida Bar.
