Hello

Valentina graduated from Florida State University College of Law in 2012.  While there she did multiple semesters interning with the Public Interest Law Center in both the Child Advocacy Clinic and Children and Prison Project.  She also received a competitive public service fellowship which enabled her to work at Gulfcoast Legal Services working with victimized immigrants.  It was these first experiences in law school that began her passion for helping those who had been victimized, especially children and women who had been sexually or domestically abused.

From there Valentina went to work for the Guardian ad Litem Program, both in the 2nd and 13th Circuit as a Senior Child’s Best Interest Attorney advocating for children involved in the dependency system.  She then went to work for the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence representing victims of sexual violence with a wide variety of civil legal needs in various counties throughout the state.  In August 2019 Valentina became board certified in juvenile law.

In 2020 Valentina began her private practice career. Now, Valentina takes cases all over the state, focusing on all things related to child abuse. It’s a difficult realm to be in, but Valentina’s experience make her no stranger to a challenge and her extensive trial experience makes her prepared for just about anything.
