Armando Rosquete

Raised by a single mother in a working-class family, Armando is motivated by adversity and understands the value of hard work and money. A proud graduate of Miami-Dade’s public schools, Armando, through determination and hard work, became the first college graduate in his family, graduating from Cornell University and, later, Harvard Law School. Upon his return to Florida, he honed his analytical abilities as a law clerk on the Florida Supreme Court and returned to Miami to work at Hogan Lovells, Boies Schiller Flexner, and as a federal prosecutor. An active member of the Miami-Dade community, he now puts his invaluable investigative and trial experience to work for his clients. With over fourteen federal jury trials, Armando is most comfortable in the courtroom and believes that the key to any case is to focus on what really matters to a jury and presenting it in a way that a jury can understand. Unafraid to try a case when necessary, Armando uses a thorough and systematic approach to the problems facing his individual and institutional clients. Armando finds inspiration in the trust clients place in him to fight for them in their moment of need and became a lawyer to be the persuasive, empathetic and compassionate voice that his clients deserve.
