After graduating from law school, Mr. Pena accepted a position as an Assistant Public Defender with the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit in Sanford, Florida. During the time he spent with the Public Defender’s Office, he represented hundreds of clients charged with misdemeanor and felony offenses. As an Assistant Public Defender, he represented clients in over forty jury trials. In 2006, Mr. Pena moved to the Tampa Bay area and worked for several years at a small general practice firm. During his time there, he worked in the areas of family law, civil litigation, Social Security Disability, bankruptcy, criminal law, real estate, and probate matters, amongst others.
