About Lawrence O.
Lawrence O. Held pursued an academic path that combined regional studies and history before turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Florida International University in 2010 and completed a Master of Arts in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the same institution in 2011. He later attended the University of Florida Levin College of Law and received his Juris Doctor in 2017. Those years of study gave him a broad historical and cultural perspective that he brings to legal work.
After law school, Held established his practice in Florida. He is licensed to practice in the state and has built his career around the procedural and substantive contours of Florida law. His early professional years were spent learning the rhythms of state practice and developing courtroom habits that reflect both his legal training and his prior academic interests.
Held’s educational background in Latin American and Caribbean studies and history informs how he approaches cases. He tends to pay attention to context and chronology when assembling a record. That inclination shows up in file preparation, witness interviews, and the way he frames factual narratives for judges and opposing counsel. Colleagues describe his work as methodical; clients receive clear explanations of how state procedures affect their options.
He is currently a member of professional associations and maintains active connections to legal colleagues across Florida. Those ties keep him current on local practice changes and procedural developments in state courts. He has participated in continuing legal education programs to stay familiar with evolving rules and practice techniques.
Held practices law at Kitroser & Associates. At the firm he draws on his legal training and his regional studies background to handle matters that arise under Florida law. He manages case files, prepares pleadings and briefs, and represents clients in court proceedings and administrative settings when necessary. He currently practices at Kitroser & Associates in Florida, concentrating on Florida state law matters.
