Attorney Profile

Yleg Caridad

Ylegnareb “Yleg” Caridad focuses her legal practice on residential and commercial property insurance claims, bringing a sharp, detail-oriented approach honed through years of legal experience in both the U.S. and Latin America. Before becoming an attorney, she worked as a supervising paralegal, managing litigation teams and complex discovery processes across First-Party Property and Personal Injury Protection cases.

Yleg’s legal roots began in Venezuela, where she earned her Bachelor of Law degree and gained invaluable experience in international oil and gas law. During that time, she reviewed royalty and transportation contracts, assessed environmental compliance across Latin American pipelines, and analyzed labor law issues like workplace discrimination and safety. Her global background adds a powerful perspective to her U.S.-based practice.

Her passion for justice and advocacy extends beyond litigation. While earning her Juris Doctor at St. Thomas University College of Law, she served as a Research Assistant focused on cutting-edge cyber law issues and repeatedly earned Dean’s List honors for academic excellence. She now gives back to the legal community as an Adjunct Professor at St. Thomas, teaching Legal Skills and helping the next generation of lawyers develop strong foundations.

She volunteers with organizations that help children and fight housing injustice, providing legal services for renters facing wrongful evictions or unrecovered deposits. Yleg is also a licensed Florida real estate agent, which further strengthens her real estate and property law practice.

When she’s not in the courtroom or classroom, she’s on the yoga mat, reading books, working out, volunteering, or exploring new ways to blend purpose with legal practice.
