About Ramie
Ramie Altawil is an attorney licensed to practice in Florida. She came to the barroom after completing both undergraduate and law degrees at the University of Miami. The trajectory is straightforward: a B.A. in 2015 followed by a J.D. in 2018. She returned to courtroom work quickly after graduation and has remained in public service roles since joining the profession.
Her legal training was anchored at the University of Miami. The undergraduate degree preceded law school by a few years, and she completed her J.D. in 2018. Those years in Miami shaped the practical side of her legal education. She left law school prepared to take on client work and the procedural demands of trial practice.
Altawil began her professional career in 2018 at Richard Baron and Associates. Early on she handled client matters and learned the day-to-day mechanics of litigation. Records show she spent that initial time developing courtroom familiarity and managing case preparation tasks. The stint provided a base from which she moved into public defense work.
In 2020 she joined the Miami-Dade Public Defender's Office as an Assistant Public Defender. The APD role placed her before judges and juries and required managing a steady caseload. She has been responsible for pretrial motions, client interviews, negotiation, and trial advocacy. The office work involves fast turnaround and high-volume dockets, and her work there reflects sustained practice in criminal defense at the county level.
She has also maintained membership in a professional legal organization since 2018. That affiliation has accompanied her through the early and middle stages of practice and tied her to the local legal community. Colleagues describe someone who adapts quickly to courtroom demands and stays engaged in the procedural aspects of criminal litigation.
Altawil's career follows a clear throughline from law school to private practice and then to public defense. She continues to work in Miami-Dade, where she represents clients in criminal matters and handles both hearings and trials. Her current practice is centered on providing criminal defense services as an Assistant Public Defender in Miami-Dade County.
