Raised in Royal Palm Beach, Florida by Cuban-born parents, Lourdes grew up in a bilingual setting and became inspired to enter the legal community at an early age.

In her two and a half years as an Assistant State Attorney, Lourdes litigated hundreds of cases, including domestic violence, burglary, DUI, and numerous other crimes. She conducted over 40 trials during her time at the State Attorney’s Office.
Lourdes went on to work for a prominent Personal Injury firm in Coral Gables, Florida and later returned to Palm Beach Country as a Criminal Defense and Immigration associate for a local firm.
