ANNA-MARIA CAPIZZI
Anna-Maria Capizzi Personal Bio:
Anna-Maria Capizzi is a partner with the firm and focuses her practice in the area of family law.
Anna-Maria was born in Offenbach am Main, Germany, to Sicilian parents. Her cultural background has a tremendous influence on how she interacts with her clients and practices law. Anna-Maria pays attention to her client’s needs and her compassionate approach makes them feel at ease when discussing sensitive issues at a time of immense distress. However, her keen attention to detail and aggressive approach to motion practice has proven excellent client results.
Anna-Maria moved from Germany to Florida in 2000. The first few years, Anna-Maria was devoted to learning English; eventually, she graduated with honors from Florida International University with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. Then, Anna-Maria moved on, working as a case manager for Henderson Behavioral Health, and as paralegal, before she decided to attend law school.
In 2012, Anna-Maria earned her Juris Doctor, cum laude from St. Thomas University School of Law where she graduated in the top 10% of her graduating class.
Prior to joining attorney Mark Seff as an associate attorney, Anna-Maria served as a certified legal intern for the Broward County Office of the Public Defender, where she worked in the felony division. While working at the Broward PDs office, Anna-Maria participated in daily arraignments, numerous plea negotiations, and pre-trial motion litigation.
Recently, Anna-Maria completed her training as a Guardian ad Litem. Now she is looking forward to expand her practice in representing the best interest of children regarding timesharing, parental responsibility, and other children’s issues.
Anna-Maria enjoys talking to you. So don’t be shy! Call our office to meet with her and decide for yourself if she is a good fit to be playing on your team. This difficult time is only temporary and if along this rocky road she can put at least one smile on your face, she would feel very privileged.
Until we meet, thank you, grazie, and danke schön.
