A native of Miami, Patricia Moghari is a senior litigation paralegal with more than 25 years of experience working in the legal industry and as a paralegal in North and South Florida. Although Patricia did not initially begin her education at the University of Florida with a future in the legal profession in mind, she found herself working for a local solo-practicing attorney. Patricia soon discovered she had a passion for law and helping others, which led her to enter a Paralegal Studies program. Patricia graduated with her degree in Paralegal Studies in 1996 and went on to receive her national credential as a CLA/CP from the National Association of Legal Assistants-The Paralegal Association (NALA) in 1997. Earning this credential is a proud achievement that comes with a career-long commitment, including satisfying the requirements of continuing legal education credits.
Shortly after earning her certification, Patricia began working for a prestigious law firm in North Florida as a paralegal to the founding senior partner. During her employment, she assisted with meeting with clients, drafting pleadings and discovery, and assisted in trial preparation and at trial. She became heavily involved with the local paralegal organization, assisting with the organization of and speaking at local seminars. This experience not only allowed her to excel in the paralegal field but became the foundation for her future growth in the profession.
In 2000, Patricia moved back to Miami and joined the team of experienced attorneys of Mase Seitz Briggs, providing her with a platform to continue to build on the foundation that had been formed during her time in North Florida. Under the tutelage of Curtis Mase and the experienced litigators of Mase Seitz Briggs, Patricia has gained experience in handling cases from their inception and preparing them from pretrial to trial disposition. Patricia has assisted the firm with the management of paralegals, including interviewing and training, as well as reviewing the balance of case distribution.
Her legal experience includes assisting with the handling of all types of personal injury cases, negligent security, legal malpractice, workers' compensation, civil litigation, admiralty & maritime law, commercial litigation, probate, and real estate. Over the years, Patricia has worked extensively at pushing her career forward as a paralegal, in the legal profession, and continuing her education through seminars and continuing education classes.
In her free time, Patricia enjoys playing softball, coaching girls' volleyball, spending time with family and her pets, and travelling.
