Belinda Martinez received her Paralegal Certificate from Florida International University in 1991 and earned the designation CLA/CP in 2005, passing a two day examination administered by the National Association of Legal Assistants.  In 2008, Ms. Martinez further earned the Advanced Paralegal Certification in Trial Practice administered by the National Association of Legal Assistants. Ms. Martinez has been a Florida Registered Paralegal member of The Florida Bar since 2008.
In 2010, Ms. Martinez was appointed the Paralegal Liaison to the South Broward Bar Association, In 2011, Ms. Martinez was awarded the South Broward Bar Association’s President’s Award by Anita Paoli who stated:
“It was very hard to single out just one person this year.  There is a tremendous amount of time spent behind the scenes of which the rest of the membership may not be aware.  The SBBA has no full-time staff and relies on voluntary contributions of time from its members who are already overloaded with work in their chosen profession.  The President’s Award is being given tonight to someone who worked on every event and program and helped the SBBA and my job as President this past year.  She initiated a campaign to welcome paralegals to our organization.  She’s a valued paralegal at Becker & Poliakoff.”
In addition to Ms. Martinez’ contributions to the South Broward Bar Association, she is the Inaugural Chair of the Broward County Bar Association’s Paralegal Section, Florida’s second largest voluntary bar organization, and serves as a Non-Lawyer Member on The Florida Bar’s Unlicensed Practice of Law Committee.
Aside from her commitment to the legal community, Ms. Martinez enjoys riding her Harley-Davidson motorcycle and attending charity rides, benefiting children.  You can contact Ms. Martinez at browardbarparalegal@gmail.com.
