About Adam

Adam Kara-Lopez earned a B.B.A. from the University of Miami in 2003 and a J.D. from Florida International University College of Law in 2010. Those credentials mark a steady academic path into law, combining business training with formal legal education.

Before completing his law degree, Kara-Lopez worked in the financial services industry. In 2000 he held a position as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. That early work exposed him to financial products, client counseling and regulatory frameworks, experiences that later informed his transition to legal practice.

After graduating from law school in 2010, he moved into private practice. He joined the office of Robert Wayne Pearce as an associate. In that role he took on the tasks typical of a small-firm associate: legal research, drafting pleadings and client meetings. He also had direct exposure to the courtroom and transactional work handled by the office.

Kara-Lopez is a member of the Florida State Bar and is licensed to practice in Florida. He maintains his bar membership and practices under the jurisdictional rules of the state. That affiliation anchors his practice to Florida courts and regulatory systems.

Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation and attentive to procedural detail. He approaches files in a practical way, breaking complex matters into discrete tasks and following through on deadlines. His background in business gives him familiarity with financial records and client concerns about cost and risk.

He has remained based at the office of Robert Wayne Pearce, where he continued in the associate role after joining the firm. The office handles a range of matters for clients who bring both litigation and transactional questions. Kara-Lopez’s work there has involved drafting court filings, preparing evidence and counseling clients on procedural options available under Florida law.

Kara-Lopez balances the technical demands of practice with an eye for client communication. He tends to explain legal steps in plain terms and to keep clients informed about progress and timing. He is a current member of the Florida State Bar and practices in Florida. He currently practices at Robert Wayne Pearce, handling legal matters in the state of Florida.
