About Magdalena (Maggie) I.
Magdalena (Maggie) I. LaMorte built a layered academic foundation before entering the legal profession. She earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Miami in 1983, completed an MBA at St. Thomas University in 1986, and received her J.D. from Shepard Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University in 1993. That combination of liberal arts, business, and law shaped an approach that balances legal reasoning and practical problem solving.
After law school, LaMorte qualified to practice in Florida and before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Her career has moved between private practice and neutral dispute resolution. She operates the Law Offices of Maggie I. LaMorte, P.A., and also has been associated with Bilingual Mediators, Inc. in a mediator capacity. Colleagues describe her as a steady presence in both settings.
Her credentials reflect an emphasis on mediation and arbitration. She holds certification as a family mediator from the Supreme Court of Florida and serves as an arbitrator for the Florida Dispute Resolution Center. Those credentials underpin the work she does outside traditional courtroom advocacy. She accepts mediation assignments and arbitration matters alongside more conventional client representation.
LaMorte maintains professional ties across the state. She is a member of the Florida Bar Association, the Florida Academy of Professional Mediators, Inc., and the Broward County Bar Association. She also serves as an independent contractor mediator for Broward County. Those roles keep her connected to changes in procedural rules and to peers who handle family law and alternative dispute resolution.
Her day-to-day practice mixes direct representation and neutral services. She manages client matters through her private firm while taking mediator and arbitrator appointments through Bilingual Mediators, Inc. Her work commonly involves family law-related mediations and arbitration panels, and she appears in matters that require familiarity with both state and federal procedures in South Florida.
LaMorte is based in Broward County and continues to accept matters in Florida and before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. She maintains an active role in local bar and mediation organizations and continues to handle family mediations and arbitration matters as part of her current practice focus.
