Almazan Law

Alex Almazan, Esq. will be speaking at the Florida Bar Annual Symposium on June 17th alongside Ken Hesser, Esq. of Hesser Law.

The session — "Leveraging Technology for Efficient Law Practice Management" — is a real conversation between two firms of very different sizes using the same tools in completely different ways.

If you're a Florida attorney thinking about how to use technology more deliberately in your practice, this is the session to attend.

Almazan Law is proud to support the Heart Association - Florida Miami Executive Leadership Breakfast — an event bringing together community-minded executives across Miami who are committed to making this a healthier place to live, work, and play.

📅 Friday, June 5th · 8:00–10:00 AM
📍 Rusty Pelican – Biscayne Ballroom
3201 Rickenbacker Causeway, Key Biscayne, FL 33149

Space is limited. RSVP today at [email protected] — we hope to see you there.

Friday night in Miami. The whole team. The first time all three offices were in the same room.

The strategy came Saturday. But this is where it actually started.

Miami · Tampa · West Palm Beach 📍

One weekend. Five leaders. Three offices. One direction.

The Almazan Law 2026 Attorney Retreat, The Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables.

Miami · Tampa · West Palm Beach

Modern Law. Built for Complex Risk.

The Honorable Judge Monica Gordo, Florida Third District Court of Appeal, in the room.

Her nameplate on the table. Her words in the air. Thirty years of friendship between her and managing partner Alex Almazan and she still showed up to remind this team what the long game looks like.

That's the kind of firm we're building.

Her nameplate on the table. Her words in the air. Thirty years of friendship between her and Alex Almazan. Judge Gordo still showed up to remind our Almazan Law team what the long game looks like.

That's the kind of firm we're building.

Before the first attorney walked in, this was happening.

Every detail from the welcome boxes, the packets, the notebooks were assembled by hand at The Biltmore the morning of our first ever retreat.

The work behind the work is always where it starts.

📍 The Biltmore Hotel · Coral Gables | May 15–17, 2026

This weekend, our firm held its first-ever Attorney Retreat at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables — and it was the weekend this firm needed.

Three offices (Miami · Tampa · West Palm Beach) in one room for two full days of strategy sessions, workshops, and a keynote from the Honorable Judge Monica Gordo of the Florida Third District Court of Appeal.

This is what modern law looks like from the inside.

Here's something no one in insurance defense talks about openly:

Most carriers don't leave their outside counsel because of a bad outcome in court.

They leave because of a bad surprise — a reserve that doubled, a deadline that slipped, a strategy that was never explained.

The difference between a good defense firm and a great outside counsel partner comes down to 5 things. We put them all in this carousel because we've seen what happens when even one of them is missing.

Swipe through and save it. If you're reviewing your Florida panel this year — this is your checklist.

→ Proactive communication. No reserve surprises.
→ Data-driven strategy. Not just motion practice.
→ AI-enhanced file review. LAE under control.
→ Florida-specific intelligence. Venues, judges, litigation patterns.
→ A team that treats your file like the only one.

If you'd like to talk about how Almazan Law serves as a true extension of your claims and legal team — we're easy to reach.

Will you be in Oakland for DWC’s 33rd Annual Educational Conference?

On March 6, our Managing Partner, Alexander P. Almazan, will join a national panel for:

“State of the Art: AI in Workers’ Compensation — National Perspective”
📍 Oakland, California

This is not a theoretical discussion about artificial intelligence.

It’s a candid examination of how AI is already influencing workers’ compensation claims handling, medical review, litigation strategy, and insurance defense operations across the country.

Panel faculty include:
• Dr. Chris Brigham – medicolegal standards and clinical rigor
• Alexander P. Almazan, Esq. – litigation strategy, ethics, regulatory exposure
• Ben Wen – AI architecture and validation
• Mark Tainton – data and analytics transformation in insurance
• Mark Pew (Oakland) – system incentives and unintended consequences
• Robert Wilson (Los Angeles program) – system-level leadership

The session will address:
• Where AI is already embedded in claims workflows
• How algorithmic tools influence triage, reserve setting, and settlement posture
• Accuracy, bias, and accountability in AI-supported decision-making
• Ethical boundaries and professional responsibility
• Governance frameworks for responsible AI deployment in workers’ compensation

For carriers, TPAs, defense counsel, and risk professionals, the question is no longer whether AI will impact the system — it already does.

The question is how we implement it deliberately.

If you are attending DWC 2026 in Oakland, we look forward to connecting.
