About Miami Gardens
Miami Gardens is Florida's youngest city, incorporated in 2003 — but its community roots run deep. One of the largest cities in Miami-Dade County by population, Miami Gardens is a predominantly African American and Caribbean city with a strong family identity, its own rhythms, and a community that looks after its own.
One of Florida's Newest Cities
As the only principal city in Miami-Dade County incorporated in the 21st century, Miami Gardens built its municipal identity from the ground up. Neighborhood organizations, faith communities, and civic groups carry the city's identity, and family is central to that culture.
A Family-Focused Community
Miami Gardens is home to a high proportion of families with children. The city blends single-family homes, apartment communities, and growing commercial development. Family law matters here are deeply personal — custody, support, and parenting plans are about protecting the children of families who take raising them seriously.
Growing and Diverse
The city's population is diverse — African American, Caribbean, and Latino residents together create a rich cultural fabric. Legal representation should reflect that, speaking plainly and honoring each family's culture.
