MIAMI — Rubenstein Law is proud to announce that Attorney Megan Schmidt has been selected for the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Litigation’s Young Lawyer Leadership Program (YLLP), a national initiative that recognizes and develops promising early-career litigators. Schmidt’s two-year appointment from 2025 to 2027 places her among just four attorneys across the country chosen for this prestigious honor.
The YLLP offers rising legal leaders hands-on experience within the ABA Litigation Section, including active participation in committees or task forces, structured mentorship with senior ABA leaders, and opportunities to attend and contribute to high-level strategy at the Section’s Annual Conference and leadership meetings.
“Megan’s selection for the ABA’s leadership program reflects both her dedication to the profession and Rubenstein Law’s commitment to supporting the development of strong leaders in the legal community,” Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney and Partner Miriam Fresco Agrait said.
Since joining Rubenstein Law, Schmidt has played an integral role on the firm’s litigation team, successfully handling mass tort cases. Known for her trial skill, compassion, and tenacity, she has helped further solidify Rubenstein Law’s reputation as a top personal injury firm.
“I am honored to be accepted into this program and to rise as a leader in the American Bar Association,” Schmidt said. “Young lawyers are in a unique position to cultivate progress in our practices. As a disabled, Latina lawyer, my hope is to foster change that would make the legal profession more inclusive and accessible for all. I feel great pride in representing Rubenstein Law during my appointment and I am so grateful for the Firm’s support.”
