Daniel L. Diaz-Balart joins Leesfield & Partners, P.A

MIAMI - Sept. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- As the Leesfield & Partners law firm expands its reach across Florida, the firm is growing its roster of attorneys with a member of one of the State's first families. Daniel L. Diaz-Balart, son of former-Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart, has joined Miami-based Leesfield & Partners. He previously worked under State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle for the past four years.

“Daniel’s finely honed trial experience at the Miami-Dade County State Attorney’s Office has provided unique skills as he pursues our high level personal injury practice,” said Managing Partner, Ira Leesfield.  “His national, statewide and local connections will project him into a leadership position in the trial community, especially when coupled with his outstanding work ethic,” said Leesfield.

Diaz-Balart is a graduate of Florida State University College of Law where he served on the school’s mock trial team.  He received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at the University of Central Florida where he minored in Spanish as well as Legal Studies.  He is a member of the Cuban American Bar Association and brings the experience of over 40 jury trials to the firm’s diverse wrongful death and personal injury practice in Florida state and Federal courts.

“Diaz-Balart grew up in a family embedded in public service and he brings that tradition and culture to an active civil trial practice,” said Partner Thomas Scolaro. “It is a perfect combination.”

He joins a team of veteran trial lawyers whose practice areas includes personal injury, all travel-related injuries, and defective products, among others. The firm has been consistently recognized as one of the leading trial law firms in the nation, and its trial lawyers rank among the top attorneys in Florida and nationwide.
