Alex Caballero is 2025 Trial Advocacy Workshop Leader

Highlights from the Family Law Section of The Florida Bar’s 2025 Trial Advocacy Workshop:  Held July 23–27, 2025, at the JW Marriott Marquis in Miami, this four-day interactive program gave family law attorneys a hands-on opportunity to learn and sharpen their trial skills. Participants selected either a children’s issues case or a financial issues case and worked through a full trial from start to finish. Sessums Black Managing Partner Alex Caballero has participated in the Trial Advocacy Workshop since 2009. The Workshop is an amazing opportunity to teach trial skills to family law lawyers.

Alex and Natalie Lemos of South Miami led one of the financial-issues tracks, teaching and guiding attendees through complex topics such as business valuations, equitable distribution, and alimony. Both Alex and Natalie are Florida Bar board-certified in marital and family law, fellows of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, and are respected family law trial lawyers.  Alex is pictured here with Natalie and members of their workshop group.

Huge thanks to the Trial Advocacy Workshop Committee Chairs, Magistrate Barbara Goiran, Michelle Klinger Smith, and Anya Cintron Stern—and to all of the workshop leaders, expert witnesses, speakers, and volunteers—for making this flagship event a tremendous success.
