Michelle Medina
“My passion comes from my clients. They give me strength to fight for their cause. I go above and beyond to make sure that they know I care and I’m available. It’s important that they feel they have someone in their corner that they can depend on and will listen.”
While attending FAMU College of Law, Ms. Medina served as President of the Hispanic American Law Student Association. Under her leadership, the organization gained significant recognition within the Hispanic community of Central Florida and was awarded the Organization of the Year.
Upon graduating from FAMU College of Law, she immediately joined the Office of the Public Defender in the 9th Judicial Circuit. Ms. Medina approaches all her cases with a blend of determination and compassion, ensuring her clients receive the support they need during their most challenging times. She has been described as “all heart” and “all fight.” Working closely with Mr. Baez, she has been instrumental in securing major victories, often uncovering key evidence that strengthens the defense’s case. Her compassion and dedication extend to working closely with clients and their families throughout this difficult and emotional legal process.
Although born in the United States, Ms. Medina’s heritage is Dominican, and she proudly identifies with her roots. She is fluent in Spanish and, in her spare time, enjoys giving back to the community and spending quality time with her family.
