Lucia L. Leoni Attorney At Law

Representing clients in civil matters at both the trial and appellate levels. Brings a pragmatic but inventive approach to advocacy, combining sharp legal analysis with practical strategies.

Lucia Leoni is a skilled litigation attorney with wide-ranging experience in civil matters before both state and federal courts. She handles complex legal issues and regularly prepares dispositive motions, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and motions in limine, as well as appellate briefs that require in-depth legal research and writing. Her practice is informed by a comprehensive understanding of procedural and substantive issues across various practice areas.

Before joining GrayRobinson, Lucia clerked for the Honorable Bronwyn C. Miller at Florida’s 3rd District Court of Appeal in Miami, where she gained first-hand experience with the appellate process and developed a strong grasp of the procedural aspects of appellate law, including non-final orders, extraordinary writs, and preservation of error. Her role further exposed her to complex business litigation, real estate matters, family law, criminal law, and child dependency matters, giving her a well-rounded foundation and valuable insight into how appellate courts approach diverse legal questions.

As a law student, Lucia served as a judicial extern for both the Honorable Julie Sneed at the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida and the Honorable Andrea Teves Smith at Florida’s 2nd District Court of Appeal.
