About Monica P.

Monica P. Navarro graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1993 after earning her B.A. in international relations and political science from Florida International University in 1990. She built her legal foundation through a mix of classroom study and courtroom exposure. The combination of an international relations undergraduate degree and a Michigan law degree informs a practical approach to complex regulatory and cross-jurisdictional matters.

Navarro is admitted to practice in Illinois and Michigan and is authorized to appear in several federal fora, including the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan and the District of Colorado, the Sixth Circuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those admissions reflect a practice that includes trial and appellate work in both state and federal arenas. She serves as a partner at Vezina Law Group, a role that places her at the center of litigation strategy, client counseling, and case management.

Her work spans civil litigation, health care regulatory matters, and disputes that touch on federal statutes enforced by whistleblowers and government investigators. Navarro handles cases that require navigating overlapping state and federal requirements. She represents clients in contested proceedings and advises on compliance issues that often arise in health care and behavioral health settings. The combination of courtroom practice and regulatory counseling has shaped a practice that regularly engages with administrative boards and licensing bodies.

Professional associations are a prominent part of her profile. She holds memberships in the American Bar Association, the Federal Bar Association (Eastern District of Michigan chapter), and the American Health Lawyers Association. She is active in local and specialty organizations as well, including the Hispanic Bar Association of Michigan, the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association, the Oakland County Bar Association and its Women’s Bar chapter, and the Troy Chamber of Commerce. Navarro also belongs to groups focused on fraud enforcement and health law, such as Taxpayers Against Fraud Education Fund and the Michigan Association of Health Lawyers.

Navarro’s community and board service extends beyond bar associations. She serves as a trustee on the board of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Foundation and is on the boards of Southwest Counseling Solutions and the Aurelio Rodriguez Scholarship Fund. Those roles connect clinical and educational community concerns with legal and regulatory perspectives.

At Vezina Law Group Navarro combines litigation, appellate filings, and regulatory counseling. She currently practices at Vezina Law Group, where her work centers on health care regulatory matters, civil litigation, and advising clients on related federal and state issues.
