I was born in New York to Colombian parents and raised in Miami, which has shaped my professional perspective and my longstanding connection to Latin American legal and business communities. I currently serve as a Junior Partner at Luks and Santaniello in Miami, where my practice focuses on general liability litigation and we handle high exposure cases from inception through trial.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout my career, I have held senior leadership and partnership roles where I have built and managed litigation departments and overseen day to day legal operations. My experience includes insurance defense, first party property claims, coverage analysis, bad faith matters, fraud investigations, and complex family and matrimonial litigation. I regularly work with insurers, special investigation units, and expert witnesses in both state and federal courts.<\/p>\n<p>I earned my Juris Doctor, cum laude, from St. Thomas University School of Law, graduating in the top five percent of my class, and I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University. I am admitted to practice in Florida and in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. I remain committed to mentorship, professional development, and public service through continued involvement in legal organizations and community initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Areas de Pr\u00e1ctica<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Responsabilidad General<br \/>\nInsurance Defense<br \/>\nFirst Party Property Claims<br \/>\nCoverage and Bad Faith<br \/>\nFraud and Special Investigations<br \/>\nLitigios Civiles<br \/>\nFamily and Matrimonial Law<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Educaci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Bachelor of Arts in Psychology &#8211; Florida International University<br \/>\nJuris Doctor (cum laude) &#8211; St. Thomas University School of Law.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Admisi\u00f3n a la Pr\u00e1ctica<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Todos los tribunales estatales de Florida<br \/>\nTribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos, Distrito Sur de Florida.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3>Idiomas<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Fluidez en Ingl\u00e9s y Espa\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michelle Ortiz, Esq.
