About LeRoy
LeRoy Costner earned his J.D. from Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law in 2007. He completed his legal studies during a period of change in the profession. The law school experience left him with a practical view of courtroom procedure and client service.
After graduating, Costner began his practice in Florida. He has spent his career working under the rules and procedures of that state's courts. Along the way he has taken on a range of tasks common to trial lawyers: drafting pleadings, managing discovery, preparing witnesses, and appearing in hearings.
He maintains membership in professional associations that serve Florida attorneys. Those memberships have kept him connected to continuing education and the shifting priorities of state practice. Costner’s early years in the field involved a mix of courtroom work and behind-the-scenes case preparation. Over time he expanded those responsibilities to include case strategy and client counseling.
Costner joined The Umansky Law Office as part of his move into a firm environment. At the firm he works alongside other lawyers handling matters for clients in Florida. His day-to-day often includes negotiating settlements, preparing filings for state courts, and advising clients about procedural options. He is accustomed to the rhythm of litigation and the deadlines that shape civil practice.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in how he builds a record and deliberate in courtroom presentation. He tends to break complex matters into discrete steps, then address each one in turn. That approach guides both trial preparation and settlement talks. He also spends time keeping current on developments in state law that affect his cases.
Outside the courtroom, Costner has engaged in continuing legal education and other professional activities typical for practicing attorneys. Those efforts help him stay current on procedural changes and emerging legal issues in Florida. He has not been publicly noted for academic appointments or bar leadership roles in available records, but he remains active in the professional circles where he practices.
He is currently a lawyer at The Umansky Law Office in Florida, representing clients in matters arising under Florida law.
