Focused on Smart Strategy, Relentless
Preparation, and Proven Outcomes
We developed our passion, drive, and resilience during our time as public defenders in Miami, Florida, where we began our careers. In one of the busiest jurisdictions in the country, Blackley & Wingad gained unmatched trial experience and established a foundation of work ethic, skill, and adaptability. This foundation allows us to be prepared for the unexpected in trial and through all stages of litigation.
In a court system that is designed to encourage settlements, gaining trial experience is hard to achieve. At Blackley & Wingad, we refer to ourselves as trial attorneys because that’s what we do. We have amassed over one hundred trials in multiple jurisdictions and areas of law. Every person being investigated or charged with an alleged crime deserves an experienced and skilled advocate. Blackley & Wingad is that advocate.
