Who is included in this ranking?

Lawyers eligible to practice in Florida, with a Miami office address and civil rights as a practice area on record, whose Florida Bar profile lists Spanish among the languages they speak. It compares 20 Spanish-speaking civil rights lawyers, using only facts with a cited source. The Florida Bar does not board-certify lawyers in civil rights, so the practice area is the one each lawyer lists on their Florida Bar profile, which The Florida Bar does not review. How we rank.

Whatever language they speak: the full ranking of civil rights lawyers in Miami.

Working with a Spanish-speaking lawyer

You can discuss your case, documents and fees directly in Spanish, but court hearings and filings in Florida are in English.

Ask whether the lawyer will speak with you in Spanish personally or through bilingual staff.
Ask for the fee agreement and key letters in Spanish as well as English, so you know exactly what you sign.
When a witness cannot understand or speak English well enough, the judge has a qualified interpreter sworn in (section 90.606, Florida Statutes).

Florida rules to know

Civil rights claims in Florida run on short deadlines: a discrimination complaint to the Florida Commission on Human Relations is due within 365 days, and a federal EEOC charge within 180 or 300 days.

Rule	What it means
Federal civil rights claims	Anyone acting under color of state law who deprives a person of constitutional or federal rights is liable to that person (42 U.S.C. § 1983)
Attorney fees	A court may award a reasonable attorney's fee to the prevailing party in a civil rights case (42 U.S.C. § 1988(b))
Florida complaint deadline	A discrimination complaint must be filed with the Florida Commission on Human Relations within 365 days (Fla. Stat. § 760.11(1))
Commission review	The commission decides within 180 days whether there is reasonable cause (§ 760.11(3))
Lawsuit after a cause finding	A civil action must be filed within 1 year after the commission finds reasonable cause (§ 760.11)
Federal EEOC charge	An employment discrimination charge is due within 180 days, or 300 days where a state or local agency also handles it (42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1))

Court	Where cases are heard
State court circuit	Miami-Dade County is in Florida's Eleventh Judicial Circuit

How to choose among these lawyers

Confirm the license, ask who will handle your matter, and get the fee terms in writing before you sign.

Look up the lawyer in The Florida Bar's directory and check the bar number shown on their LexRanked profile.
Ask whether the lawyer you meet will handle your matter personally, and how many matters like yours they have handled recently.
Ask how they charge and what costs are extra, and get the agreement in writing.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to file a discrimination complaint in Florida?

Within 365 days of the discrimination, with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (section 760.11(1)). A federal EEOC charge is due within 180 days, or 300 days where a state or local agency also handles it.

Can I sue a police officer or government official for violating my rights?

Yes. Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, a person acting under color of state law who deprives you of constitutional or federal rights is liable to you, subject to defenses such as immunity.

Who pays the lawyer in a civil rights case?

The court may award a reasonable attorney's fee to the prevailing party (42 U.S.C. § 1988(b)), so many civil rights lawyers take cases on contingency.

How long do I have to sue after the commission finds reasonable cause?

1 year after the date of the commission's reasonable-cause determination (section 760.11).

Which court handles cases in Miami?

State court cases in Miami-Dade County are heard in Florida's Eleventh Judicial Circuit.

How do I know a lawyer really speaks Spanish?

Every lawyer here lists Spanish on their Florida Bar profile, which LexRanked checked in November 2026. Ask at the first call whether the lawyer will handle your matter in Spanish personally.

Will my court hearing be in Spanish?

No. Court proceedings in Florida are held in English. When a witness cannot understand or speak English well enough, the judge has a qualified interpreter sworn in (section 90.606, Florida Statutes).
