Our Qualifications and Experience
Firm Overview
Founded in 2003, The Law Offices of John Leon, is a full service civil litigation firm located in Miami, Florida and concentrating in the areas of Corporate Law, Healthcare and Personal Injury and Crisis Management. The Firm represents clients all throughout Florida, the Continental United States, Caribbean and South America. The Firm handles thousands of lawsuits successfully litigated against dozens of Fortune 500 companies and has been recognized as one of Florida's top law firms.
The Firm's principal, John Leon began his legal career as clerk or counsel to some of the largest, most prolific state and national law firms, including Washington DC based Verner, Lipfert, Bernhard, McPherson and Hand, who proudly named among its partners Senators Bob Dole and George Mitchell, represented some 30% of the Fortune 500 and was ranked #1 by Fortune Magazine for lobbying firms in the United States. Further, John has worked in the areas of medical malpractice defense, insurance defense, commercial litigation, employment law, regulatory, administrative law, governmental procurement, federal and legislative affairs, land use and zoning and general appellate work for some of the state's oldest and most prestigious law firms. Early on in his career, Mr. Leon was among the most active young trial lawyers in South Florida trying (15) jury trials during the first eight months of his career.
A Substantial Record of Litigation, Results & Confidentiality
Over nearly 25 years of legal practice, the Law Offices of John Leon has represented corporations, executives, entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, and high-net-worth individuals in complex civil, commercial, and healthcare matters across Florida and nationally, matters that have resulted in significant financial recoveries, favorable resolutions, and negotiated outcomes for clients in both contested litigation and pre-litigation crisis management contexts.
Notwithstanding this substantial record, the Firm's practice is built on the premise that discretion is not merely a professional courtesy, it is a professional obligation. Many of the Firm's significant cases and outcomes have been resolved under confidentiality agreements, protective orders, or settlement terms that expressly prohibit public disclosure. Many clients, particularly corporations, healthcare institutions, and public figures, have chosen the Firm precisely because of its commitment to confidentiality as a condition of representation.
The absence of a publicly advertised catalogue of case results should not be confused with an absence of significant litigation experience or meaningful financial recoveries. Much of the Firm's records is both substantial and verifiable through public records. The breath and national recognition of this practice, combined with the Firm's substantial and verifiable litigation history, demonstrate a body of legal work whose significance cannot be measured solely by publicly reported verdicts and settlements.
For the Law Offices of John Leon, professional accomplishment is demonstrated not only through a public ledger of settlements and verdicts, but through a sustained record of delivering results for clients who trust the Firm with their most sensitive, significant, and consequential matters.
