About Ada B.

Ada B. Pozo built a foundation in social science before turning to law. She completed dual undergraduate degrees at Florida International University in 1994 — a B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology with a minor in Psychology and a B.S. in Criminal Justice. She earned her J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law in 1997.

Her career has been centered in Florida. After law school she entered private practice and later became associated with Pozo Goldstein LLP, where she continues to practice. Records provided list her as practicing at that firm; titles and earlier roles are not specified here.

Pozo’s professional memberships reflect the circles in which she works. She holds current memberships in the Florida Bar, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Cuban American Bar Association, and the Florida Association of Woman Lawyers. Those affiliations suggest a practice shaped by both local bar work and immigration law issues, and they place her in networks that address questions of immigration policy, courtroom procedure and community lawyering.

Her academic background in criminal justice, sociology and anthropology informs how she approaches clients and cases. That training often proves relevant in matters that touch on family dynamics, social history and interactions with public institutions. In practice, attorneys with similar profiles commonly handle matters such as removal defense, family-based petitions, naturalization applications and consular processing. Pozo’s membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association aligns her professionally with practitioners who litigate and advise on those types of matters.

Colleagues and clients describe her work pragmatically. She is active in bar and community circles that serve Florida’s diverse populations, including the Cuban American community. The combination of local bar participation and national immigration association membership indicates sustained involvement in both community advocacy and the technical aspects of federal immigration law.

She continues to practice at Pozo Goldstein LLP in Florida. Her current practice focuses on immigration-related matters, supported by a background in criminal justice and social sciences.
