Yunia DeMicco is the Founder and Managing Attorney of DeMicco & Associates, bringing more than 40 years of combined legal and industry experience to her practice. Having lived under a communist regime in Cuba before immigrating to the United States, Yunia developed a profound appreciation for personal rights, justice, and the power of having a voice. That perspective drives her core professional philosophy: to treat every client with the same compassion, honesty, and fierce advocacy she would demand for her own family.
What distinguishes Yunia in the legal community is her rare, 360-degree perspective on Workers’ Compensation. Before earning her Juris Doctor, Yunia DeMicco spent more than a decade working as a Workers’ Compensation Adjuster and Claims Manager for governmental entities and municipalities, gaining firsthand insight into how claims are evaluated, managed, and defended.
Today, after litigating more than 30 trials and helping shape Florida law through significant appellate victories, she brings that unique perspective to every case. Her practice, built almost entirely through word-of-mouth referrals from former clients, colleagues, and opposing counsel, reflects the trust she has earned through integrity, strategic advocacy, and an unwavering commitment to her clients.
