About Alyssa M.
Alyssa M. Mason began her path in law with two degrees from the University of Florida. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in 2008 and returned to the same campus to receive her J.D. in 2011. That combination of undergraduate and legal education at a single university gave her a long view of the law school experience and its place in a broader professional life.
Her academic record is straightforward and disciplined. The University of Florida supplied both her foundational studies and her legal training. Graduating law school in 2011 positioned her to start practicing in the years that followed. The chronology is simple: a liberal arts undergraduate degree, then three years of law study, then entry into practice.
Mason is admitted to practice in Florida and is also admitted to appear before the D.C. Circuit. Those admissions reflect a capacity to handle matters in state courts and to take appeals to a federal appellate forum. They also suggest familiarity with procedural and appellate rules that differ from those in trial courts.
She practices at Kirwin Norris, P.A., where she works on litigation and appellate matters. Her role involves drafting briefs, preparing motions, and presenting arguments in written form. She handles casework that moves through Florida court systems and, when necessary, into federal appellate review. The work is detailed and document-heavy; it requires attention to precedent and to the mechanics of appellate advocacy.
Colleagues describe her approach to files as methodical. She breaks issues into discrete questions and addresses them one at a time. That approach affects how cases are prepared and how arguments are structured. It also influences how she communicates with clients: information is presented in stages so decisions can be made on a clear basis.
Outside of court filings and briefs, Mason's practice involves research and continuous analysis of case law. Appellate practice in particular demands that a lawyer track evolving standards and recent rulings. Mason's admissions allow her to take work from initial trial-level disputes through post-judgment appeals when cases warrant that path.
She maintains her practice at Kirwin Norris, P.A., where her work centers on litigation and appellate matters in Florida and before the D.C. Circuit.
