Joshua Padron

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

Joshua Padron became an associate attorney at The Haggard Law Firm (HLF) in September of 2022. Born and raised here in Miami, Joshua feels a special connection to the community he was raised in.

Padron joins The Haggard Law Firm after spending three years as an Assistant State Attorney (ASA) in the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. As an ASA, Padron drove investigations of a variety of criminal cases including aggravated battery, armed trafficking, DUI, sexual assault, and attempted murder. He gathered evidence for cases, interviewed witnesses, victims, officers and lead several jury trials.

Before gaining extensive litigation and trial experience, Padron was a certified legal intern for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office following his time as a judicial intern for The Honorable Antonio Arzola, Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida, Miami, FL.

“After years of prosecuting crimes and working with victims in the criminal court system, the chance to have a powerful impact on the lives of crime victims and while fueling societal change with The Haggard Law Firm is a personal and professional dream come true” says Padron.

Padron is a proud member of the Cuban American Bar Association, the Florida Justice Association, and the Miami Outboard Club. He received his bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and his law degree from Florida International University.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

― Theodore Roosevelt
