Who Are You?. Hi, I’m Manny Serra-Jovenich, Partner at the Rossen Law Firm. In 2018 I was named to the National Trial Lawyers' Top 40 Under 40 list and also named 10 Best in Client Satisfaction by the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys. I graduated from the University of Florida, where I was a member of the Dean's List and a Florida Bright Future Scholarship recipient. I then graduated from Nova Southeastern Law School as a member of the school's Law Review, Moot Court Society, and Dean's List. During all three years of law school I was a recipient of the Shepard Broad Scholarship.. Why did you become a lawyer?I became a lawyer to use my talents to help others and experience the thrill of litigating. I have tried more than 25 jury trials in my career and handled over 1,000 cases.I fought against big banks during Florida's foreclosure crisis. I protected people's constitutional rights as a Broward County Public Defender. I represent homeowners when their insurance claims are underpaid or denied - even though they pay their premium month after month for years and years. I love to represent a “David” against a “Goliath”.A Samuel Adams quote I live by is: "A true Statesman should be incorruptible and fearless." I carry that quote with me everywhere - especially into the courtroom.. What made you decide to join the Rossen Law Firm?I joined the Rossen Law Firm because Adam and I have worked together on a basketball court, where we won big and often. I knew we could bring the same results to clients in courtrooms when bad things happened to them.You can find out more information about Manny practicing home insurance law on his Manny Protects Your Home website here.. What was it like having Adam as a basketball coach in high school?Adam is a combination of Billy Donovan and (a much more tame) Bob Knight. He was tough on me because he saw potential in me, and as a result we won a ton of games and statistically I had the best season of my high school career.. What do you do when you’re not working at the Rossen Law Firm?I think it's important to keep the body in good health and the mind sharp, so I play a lot of sports and read anything I can get my hands on. I am an avid Florida Gators Athletics fan.

I've also appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America and other national and local news outlets for work I have done in federal criminal defense, as well as a widely popular Apple/iTunes True-Crime Podcast.. I received a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Florida Honors College. I then graduated as a Merit Scholar from the Fordham University School of Law in Manhattan, New York. For all three years of law school, I worked for a nationally-renowned criminal law professor and author on a ground-breaking research project about the role of the human brain and modern neuroscience evidence in criminal defense litigation.. Both my parents are doctors - my father a Neurologist and my mother a Pediatric Oncologist. Growing up, I watched my parents save countless children and adults who were facing the most challenging and terrifying obstacles.

I am a proud Latin American who was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I am of Cuban heritage on one side of my family and Venezuelan and Italian on the other side.  I am a huge Miami sports fan. Go Fins! Go Heat!. I attended the University of South Florida and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Criminology and a minor in History. I then attended Florida International University College of Law where I graduated Cum Laude with a Juris Doctor degree. While at FIU Law, I joined the Trial Team. As a student advocate, I won a State mock trial championship. Since graduating, I have coached the FIU Law Trial Team for at least one competition every year, resulting in multiple State and Regional championships.. Immediately after passing the Bar exam, I started as an Assistant Public Defender with the Miami Dade Public Defender's Office. I worked thousands of criminal cases, ranging from DUIs to violent crimes to sexual crimes. After 3 years as an Assistant Public Defender, I worked 2 years as an Associate at a large Florida criminal defense firm, where I continued to work very serious cases, including alleged Murders and DUI Manslaughters.. I now run my own practice, Duran Defense LLC. I am 11-3 in trial. Most attorneys will not admit to you how many trials they have lost because they are afraid. I am not afraid. As Wayne Gretzky famously and wisely said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."  I have won 78.5% of my trials, many of which seemed like lost causes to my clients when they first retained me. And that number does not account for the dozens of cases I have had dismissed right before trial because the prosecutor or opposing counsel knew of my reputation.
