About Frederick A.
Frederick A. Neustein trained in law at the University of Miami School of Law, earning his J.D. in 1992 after completing undergraduate studies at Tulane University's AB Freeman School of Business in 1988. Those formative years combined legal study with a foundation in business. The mix has shaped the kinds of matters he has handled ever since.
He began his legal career in the Miami court system. In 1988 he served as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Judge Eli Berger and held a position as Deputy Clerk for the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Court. After law school he entered private practice as a partner at the Law Offices of Charles L. Neustein, beginning in 1992. That early period gave him courtroom exposure and practical experience on both procedural and transactional fronts.
Across the 1990s he moved into commercial lending. He worked for Ocwen Financial Corporation in 1995 and later joined Heller Financial Corporation as a commercial real estate lender in 1998. Those roles placed him on the lending side of transactions, handling loan documentation, risk assessment, and closing complex commercial deals. The lender perspective informed his later work advising borrowers and creditors.
In 2000 he established The Neustein Law Group and has practiced under that name since. He took on additional industry roles while running the firm. In 2001 he served as a director at Madison Capital Group. He later served as Vice President and Counsel at American Residential Equities in 2006. Those positions reflect a career that has balanced private practice with in-house and board-level responsibilities.
His bar memberships include the Florida Bar and the Supreme Court of Florida. He maintains current memberships in several professional organizations: the North Dade Bar Association, the Bankruptcy Bar Association of the Southern District of Florida, the Miami-Dade County Bar Association, the Florida Association of Realtors, and the Mortgage Bankers Association of America. Those affiliations mirror the mix of litigation, real estate, and finance matters he handles.
Throughout his career he has worked on commercial real estate transactions, mortgage banking matters, and insolvency-related issues. He has experience advising lenders, servicers, and real estate investors, and has moved between transactional drafting, negotiation, and courtroom work. His practice today operates from The Neustein Law Group, P.A., where he concentrates on commercial real estate, mortgage, and bankruptcy matters.
