Jenny Salvia
Attorney
I am a native Floridian and have spent most of my life in Central Florida. I grew up right outside of Plant City in the small community of Springhead. After graduating from Plant City High School I went on to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science from Florida Southern College.
After college I wanted to take some time to give-back and joined the Peace Corps, where I served for two years on the small island nation of Grenada. After completing my service in the Peace Corps, I returned to the U.S. to attend law school at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, Florida.
I have extensive experience in the practice of law. My first job as an attorney was as a criminal defense attorney at the Public Defender’s Office in Bartow. While working as an Assistant Public Defender I gained invaluable trial experience and successfully handled a variety of criminal cases such as misdemeanor and felony drug possession, battery, DUI, theft, fraud, attempted murder, and sexual battery. After working at the Public Defender’s Office I added another practice area to my experience by becoming an administrative attorney at the Office of Financial Regulation (OFR). While at OFR, I worked in the consumer finance division litigating cases on behalf of the State of Florida in the Division of Administrative Hearings. More recently I have worked in private practice in estate planning.
I’m not just a lawyer but a wife, mother, and active member of my church and the United Methodist Women. My personal and professional experience has helped me develop compassion for my clients and zealous advocacy for their rights. Whether you need a strong advocate to defend you in your criminal or administrative case or if you are just trying to get your ducks-in-a-row with your estate planning I’m here to help you.
