Melissa L. Corrales

I am a proud Miami native with a deep connection to South Florida’s legal community, and I bring that understanding to my work at Wolfson & Leon. Raised and educated in Miami, I earned my Juris Doctor from Florida International University College of Law. During my time there, I was honored with a Merit-Based Dean’s Scholarship and received the Excellence in Civic Engagement Award for my leadership and commitment to service. While in law school, I had the privilege of serving as Secretary for both the Intellectual Property Student Association and the Cuban American Bar Association. I also competed as a member of the Negotiation and Mediation Team, honing advocacy and strategic skills that I now use to represent injury victims throughout Miami-Dade County. Before joining Wolfson & Leon, I gained meaningful experience working in insurance litigation, focusing on first-party property insurance disputes and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claims. Collaborating closely with insurance carriers gave me insight into how claims are evaluated, defended, and sometimes challenged. That perspective helps me advocate effectively for injured clients here in Miami. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English, graduating cum laude from Florida International University. During my undergraduate studies, I was a Florida Bright Futures Scholar and regularly appeared on the Dean’s List. Prior to that, I completed my Associate of Arts in English, cum laude, at Miami Dade College, where I received the Merit-Based American Dream Scholarship. At Wolfson & Leon’s Miami office, I am dedicated to thorough case preparation, clear client communication, and staying informed on Florida statutes and evolving case law. My approach is analytical and client-centered, ensuring that injured individuals receive representation built on strategy and attention to detail.
