A Coconut Grove native with family roots in the community reaching back a century, Mr. Stroleny attended MAST Academy before earning his bachelor’s degree from Florida International University. During his time at FIU College of Law, he worked at a leading probate and guardianship firm, where he gained early insight into the value of client commitment and dedicated advocacy.
While in law school, Mr. Stroleny was elected class president and later served as President of the FIU Trial Team. In 2012, he competed in Washington, D.C., winning first place at the 16th Annual National White Collar Crime Mock Trial Invitational held at Georgetown University.
Driven to deepen his understanding of the criminal justice system, Mr. Stroleny completed an internship in the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office Juvenile Division. He worked on hundreds of misdemeanor and felony matters, taking many cases to trial and securing favorable outcomes. He graduated with honors and received the Trial Advocacy Award, given to the student who demonstrated the highest level of achievement in trial advocacy.
After graduation, Mr. Stroleny joined the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office as an Assistant State Attorney. He handled thousands of cases, including traffic offenses, misdemeanors, DUIs, and felonies, gaining substantial trial and appellate experience. His time in public service provided a detailed understanding of how cases move through the criminal justice system, insight he now applies to every client he represents.
Mr. Stroleny believes that protecting a client’s rights goes hand in hand with treating every individual with courtesy and respect, regardless of the allegations involved. He remains committed to providing thorough, attentive representation to each person who seeks his help.
