Nelson Peña

Nelson Peña is the founder and manager of The Peña Law Firm in Miami Lakes and a personal injury attorney with extensive litigation experience. His practice focuses on bodily injury claims involving car accidents, truck accidents, boating and jet ski accidents, slip and fall incidents, wrongful death, negligent security, and other negligence-based injuries. He oversees firm cases from intake through litigation and works with clients seeking compensation from insurers and other responsible parties after serious harm.

Peña earned a J.D. from Nova Southeastern University – Shepard Broad Law Center and a B.S. from Florida International University. His legal education prepared him for a career centered on courtroom advocacy, civil procedure, evidence, and the evaluation of damages. He has practiced in Florida for decades, and his background includes earlier public-sector trial work before he founded his personal injury firm. That experience supports his ability to assess cases from both procedural and strategic perspectives.

Peña founded The Peña Law Firm in 2000 and remains directly involved in litigation matters. He has tried more than 150 jury trials and uses that courtroom experience to develop investigative and legal strategies when cases do not resolve before suit is filed. His practice emphasizes close case oversight, team review of facts and legal issues, and preparation aimed at identifying responsible parties, available insurance, medical damages, and other sources of financial recovery for injured clients.

Nelson Peña combines long-term South Florida practice experience with direct management of personal injury claims and lawsuits. The firm limits caseloads to provide focused client attention and handles bodily injury matters on a contingency basis. His familiarity with local courts, juries, and litigation procedure supports practical case planning from initial investigation through negotiation or trial. That experience helps clients pursue compensation while navigating the legal, medical, and insurance issues that follow serious accidents.
