Legal Schmidt PLLC | Litigation and Constitutional Rights

I am a Miami-based complex litigation lawyer who founded and ran two startups in Latin America.

I have lived the problems faced by businesses, especially those in highly-regulated sectors and those

exposed to special scrutiny by, among others, OFAC and the SEC, and have advised CEOs, CFOs,

and general counsels alike. I have dealt for many years with civil law systems and have native Spanish fluency.

Special Operations Veteran.
