About David

David Carrera built a professional legal career that began in Florida lecture rooms and threaded thru courtrooms across the Middle District. He earned a B.S. in Business Management from the University of Florida in 2003 and took his law degree from the University of Miami School of Law in 2007. Those years set a practical foundation. They also left him relaxed handling both numbers and the finer points of process.

Early in his profession Carrera labored as a legal intern at Stenstrom, McIntosh, Colbert, Whigham & Partlow, P.A., and served as a judicial intern within the Family Division of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida in 2009. He opened his own practice as the Law Office of David M. Carrera, P.A. in 2010 and carried the role of lawyer and shareholder for extra than a decade. In 2022 he reorganized his practice beneath Carrera Law, P.A., where he continues to control client matters and oversee company operations.

Carrera is licensed to practice in Florida, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. That mix of state and federal admissions reflects the kinds of matters his practice encounters: contested filings in federal insolvency court, litigation in federal district court and routine work in state forums. He is relaxed in proceedings and motion practice, and he has handled instances that required appearances in multiple court settings.

Outside client work he has remained connected to the bar. Carrera joined The Florida Bar in 2010 and has been active through that membership. He also participated within the American Bar Association and its Young Lawyers Division at some point of the mid-2010s. Locally, he volunteered with the Orange County Bar Association Legal Aid Society and has taken part in network volunteering which includes brief service with a local animal rescue.

Carrera keeps an office in Lake Mary and sees clients by appointment. He balances running a small firm with courtroom duties and the executive needs of practice. His recent practice makes a speciality of representing clients in state and federal courts, including bankruptcy things within the Middle District of Florida.
