— BIOGRAPHY

Rosalind J. Matos has 24 years of legal experience and has successfully represented clients in both state and federal courts at trial and appellate levels. Fully bilingual, she brings a strong background in civil litigation with a focus on real estate disputes including foreclosure defense, landlord-tenant matters, and buyer-seller conflicts.

Her career began as South Florida Staff Counsel for the ACLU of Florida in Miami — nearly 8 years working on civil liberties issues including police misconduct, racial profiling, privacy rights, free speech, student rights, and religious freedom. At the ACLU she litigated federal civil rights cases, assessed legislation for constitutional concerns, testified before legislative committees, and collaborated with advocates. She served on the Miami-Dade Racial Profiling Advisory Board and lobbied for the Civilian Investigative Panel (CIP).

She later joined Legal Aid Service of Broward County for foreclosure defense, helping low-income families save their homes through litigation and loan modification negotiations. She then took a leadership role at Glantz and Glantz managing the foreclosure department.

She founded Matos Legal, PLLC in March 2014. With a background in hospitality management from FIU, the firm has been serving clients in the Tri-County area for over a decade with deep roots in the community, earning a reputation for trust, reliability, and legal excellence.
