Marcela Romero

Ms. Romero was born and raised in Colombia before relocating to the United States with her family in 2009. At an early age, she discovered her passion for helping those in need and took part in various social events to give back to her community, which fueled her dream of becoming an advocate for those who could not defend themselves.

Pursuing this passion, Ms. Romero earned a B.A. in Political Science from Florida International University in Miami, and later moved to Orlando, Florida, to attend the Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law at Barry University, where she obtained her Juris Doctorate in May 2020.

Throughout her time in law school, Ms. Romero honed her skills by interning at a prominent Central Florida law firm, advocating for indigent clients at the Immigration Advance Clinic at Barry University, and serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the Environmental & Earth Law Journal, raising awareness about environmental protection through legal means. She also aided low-income families by offering tax preparation services through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program, and was involved in numerous associations and programs that provided legal aid to the Central Florida community.

Ms. Romero joined Michael T. Gibson P.A. in September 2020 as a law clerk. She was admitted to practice law in the State of Florida in September 2021, and became an associate attorney working in pre-suit and litigation cases. She has been committed to zealously represent injured individuals involved in auto accidents, slip/trip and falls and other accidents resulting from the negligence of others. Ms. Romero is an active member of the Hispanic Bar Association of Central Florida (HBACF) and the Orange County Bar Association, among other Associations in Florida.

With her vast life and professional experiences, coupled with her education, Ms. Romero has developed the necessary skills and values to represent plaintiffs in a wide range of legal matters. Her current focus is on assisting clients who have sustained personal injuries through no fault of their own. She is dedicated to providing her clients with the best possible experience by building strong lines of communication and trust. Ms. Romero is aware of the challenges and adjustments that follow an accident, and her goal is to help clients get their lives back on track.
