About Shari Wald
Shari Wald Garrett took a measured path into the law. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Education from the University of Florida in 1996 and followed that with a Master of Arts in Education from the same institution in 1997. That early grounding in education preceded a shift to legal studies; she received her Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law in 2001.
She was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2001 and has remained an active member since then. Membership in The Florida Bar has been a steady part of her professional identity, providing the licensing framework for practice in the state. Her legal career records show an association with Siegfried Rivera, where she is listed as an associate lawyer in 2004.
Garrett’s academic background in education influences how she approaches legal work. She tends to explain complex matters in straightforward terms. That approach can help clients make informed decisions and follow the steps their cases require. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing materials and attentive when meeting clients and witnesses.
Her recorded work history includes time at Siegfried Rivera, a firm where she held the role of associate attorney in 2004. Public listings place her there during that period. Beyond that entry, formal public details about subsequent positions or practice-area shifts are limited. She practices under Florida jurisdiction, and her professional activity is regulated through The Florida Bar.
Garrett’s training at two Florida institutions — the University of Florida and the University of Miami — shaped both subject matter knowledge and professional networks. The combination of an education discipline background and a law degree gives her a particular frame for dealing with procedural issues and client communication. She brings that combination to file preparation, hearings and client meetings.
Today she is associated with Siegfried Rivera. She continues to practice law in Florida and remains an active member of The Florida Bar. She currently practices at Siegfried Rivera, handling matters in the state of Florida.
