Meet Our Attorneys
Hi, my name is Lydia LaBar and thank you for taking the time to read my biography. I was born and raised in North Florida in a small beach town named Amelia Island. I knew from an early age I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others when they needed it the most. Today, I have that same dedication when working on my clients’ accident claim at Dan Newlin Injury Attorneys.
I found my path and calling in the law. After attending The Florida State University and earning a degree in Communication, I stayed in Tallahassee and went to law school. While at Florida State , I was proud to work with underprivileged youths and families at the Children’s Advocacy Center and Legal Aid. Both of these experiences made me understand how necessary it is to have a skilled and hard working lawyer making the justice system work to the clients’ benefit.
After law school, I knew I needed to hone my skills inside the courtroom and accepted a trial attorney job with the Office of the Public Defender. For more than a decade, I represented thousands of people who were accused of a crime but had no ability to hire an attorney. During my time there, I was so successful winning cases for my client that the Florida Bar awarded me a Board Certification as a Criminal Trial Attorney. This is one of the highest honors a lawyer can receive in Florida and it means that I am an expert in several areas like courtroom procedure and trial skills.
After I became board certified, Dan asked me to bring my expertise to his Firm and help him represent victims of accidents. At the Firm, instead of fighting with the State, I fight on behalf of my clients against the power of large insurance companies to ensure my clients are protected, have a voice and receive just compensation. My client is and always has been my number one priority which is why I am available to them morning, noon and night. I would be honored to speak with you today about your auto accident or injury case. Please feel free to call me at (321) 270-7402 or email me at [email protected] – I look forward to fighting for you!
