MICHAEL CABRERA: LEGAL EXPERIENCE, COMMITMENT AND VOCATION FOR SERVICE

Nearly 16 years of professional experience support the work of this lawyer, whose philosophy is based on listening, guiding and finding solutions for those who trust him.

​

From a young age, Michael Cabrera knew he wanted to become a lawyer. His interest in the legal world began in childhood, inspired by television programs about justice, but over the years it transformed into a true vocation: helping people resolve difficult situations and find answers to their problems.

 

Originally from Venezuela, with Peruvian family roots, Cabrera arrived in the United States when he was just four years old. He graduated from Nova Southeastern University and today has almost 16 years of experience practicing law.

​

Her professional practice encompasses various areas, including real estate law, estate and inheritance planning, corporate law, and personal injury law. This combination of specializations allows her to support her clients through different stages and circumstances of their lives.

​

The importance of being prepared

One of the topics Cabrera considers fundamental is estate planning. For him, preparing a will is not a decision to be postponed, but a preventative measure that can avoid complications for loved ones.

​

He explains that, in Florida, when a person dies without a will, their heirs generally have to start a legal process known as probate, which can take several months and generate legal and administrative expenses.

 

It also highlights the importance of knowing about alternatives such as the Living Trust, which allows assets properly transferred to the trust to be distributed without going through the traditional judicial succession process.

 

Among the documents he recommends considering to protect a family are Power of Attorney, Living Will, Health Care Surrogate, and, depending on the situation, a trust.

 

Their advice is to review these documents before important events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or the purchase of a property.

 

Listen, guide, and build trust

Beyond legal expertise, Cabrera believes that honesty and loyalty are essential in the lawyer-client relationship. He enjoys meeting new people, listening to their stories, and discussing potential solutions to their problems.

​

It also warns against one of the most common mistakes after an accident: negotiating directly with insurance companies without understanding the true scope of a claim. Therefore, it recommends seeking legal advice before accepting an offer or making decisions that could affect the injured person's rights.

 

For those who need to hire a lawyer for the first time, her message is clear: research, find a professional with experience in the specific area of ​​the problem, and above all, don't lose hope. "There is always a possible solution," is the philosophy she shares with those facing legal difficulties.

 

The value of family and small moments

Outside of the courtroom and his professional practice, Michael Cabrera enjoys spending time with his children. Local parks, outdoor activities, and family time are among his favorite ways to unwind from work.

​

He's also passionate about travel. Paris holds a special place among his favorite destinations, and he's eager to visit Italy. His family roots are also evident in his love of food: Peruvian cuisine is one of his favorites.

​

Ultimately, behind the professional who advises and represents his clients, there is a man who finds in his family, his roots, and his vocation of service the motivation to keep going.
