Michael Joseph Park

I was born in Tampa, Florida, in 1977 and graduated as Valedictorian of Northside Christian High School in St. Petersburg, Florida in 1995. From there, I entered Auburn University in the honors program studying computer engineering. Two years and 5 advanced engineering calculus classes later, I decided to switch to business and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Economics with honors in 1999. I then attended the University of Florida College of Law, and graduated in May of 2002. I missed my graduation ceremony due to my best friend deciding to get married in Alabama on the same day. After passing the Florida Bar in September 2002, I joined the law firm of Park, Rodnite and Ossian, P.A. Four years later, I became a named partner. I really enjoy the appellate process and have been board certified by the Florida Bar as a specialist in Appellate Practice. Currently, there are only 176 attorneys in Florida who are board certified in appellate practice out of almost 100,000. My practice includes all aspects of civil litigation with concentration in the areas of personal injury, family law and appellate practice. Utilizing my computer engineering degree, I have also written and developed software for family lawyers to calculate child support, taxes, fill out financial affidavits as well as calculate arrearages and past due interest.
