About Luz
Luz Nieto built her legal foundation at Florida Atlantic University, where she completed a Bachelor of Arts in 2009. She went on to earn her J.D. from Nova Southeastern University in 2014. The sequence of educational steps set a clear path into courtroom and transactional work. She entered the practical side of law while still in school, taking internships that exposed her to both judicial process and firm life.
Her early experience includes a 2012 internship with the Honorable Arthur Birken of the 17th Judicial Circuit. That placement gave her a firsthand view of case management and courtroom procedure. In 2013 she served as a law clerk at Greenspoon Marder, P.A., where she handled research and supported litigation teams. Those roles preceded her first positions as an associate attorney after graduation.
In 2015 Nieto worked at two Florida firms, holding positions at Pazos Law Group and at Barry G. Roderman & Associates, P.A. Records list her as a senior associate at Pazos Law Group and as an associate lawyer at Barry G. Roderman & Associates during that year. The appointments reflect a transition from clerkships and internships into substantive client representation and casework.
Outside of firm rosters, Nieto has been active in local and state legal organizations. She is a member of the South Palm Beach Bar Association and the Broward County Bar Association. She participates in the South Palm Beach Collaborative Law Group and holds membership in the Florida Academy of Women Lawyers. She is also listed as a founding member of the National Association of Divorce Professionals, indicating a sustained interest in the practice areas covered by that organization.
Her practice has been anchored in Florida. Professional roles and association memberships point to family law, collaborative law and divorce-related matters as primary areas of involvement. Colleagues describe her work in terms of steady representation and attention to procedural detail. She has experience drafting pleadings, conducting client interviews and engaging in negotiated resolutions through collaborative processes.
Nieto’s career path shows a steady move from court-centered internships to law firm practice and to roles that involve client counseling and dispute resolution. The mix of associations — including collaborative law and divorce professional groups — signals where her day-to-day work is concentrated. She is currently practicing law in Florida and focuses on family law matters, including divorce and collaborative law.
