About Ivette G.
Ivette G. Petkovich earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Miami in 2002 and completed her juris doctor at St. Thomas University School of Law in 2005. Those formative years set the stage for a career centered on courtroom work and federal practice. She moved from academic study to practice prepared to handle cases in both state and federal forums.
She has built a practice around her admissions. Petkovich is licensed in Florida and admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Those credentials give her access to a broad range of federal dockets and allow her to represent clients across several jurisdictions.
Petkovich practices through the Petkovich Law Office. The firm bears her name and serves as the vehicle for her client work. Her office handles filings and appearances in the courts where she is admitted and manages matters at the state level in Florida. The practice is structured to deploy federal admissions where they are required, while retaining the local knowledge needed for state court matters.
Her career has been practical and procedural. She has navigated federal court procedures, prepared pleadings, and managed litigation tasks that arise as cases move from initial filings through pretrial work. Those activities demand attention to deadlines, rules, and court preferences. Petkovich’s work shows an emphasis on those everyday skills that make courtroom practice possible.
Colleagues and clients often note her attention to procedural detail. She approaches filings and hearings methodically. That steadiness matters in courts that require strict compliance with local and federal rules. Her admissions across multiple federal districts reflect a readiness to take on matters that cross state lines or require appearances in different federal venues.
As of 2026 she continues to practice through the Petkovich Law Office. She represents clients in state and federal matters in the jurisdictions where she is admitted and handles the related procedural and litigation tasks that arise in those settings.
