In this episode of Legally Exhausted, Attorney Abe Ovadia sits down with Chloe Castro, Esq., founder of CD Law Pro, to break down her unique journey through law, life, and litigation.

Chloe shares how growing up in Miami shaped her early ambitions, and how her path took a dramatic turn when she moved to Vermont Law School—trading city life for a small mountain town of just 1,200 people. There, she pursued her passion for environmental law, excelled academically with Dean’s List honors, and developed her courtroom presence through mock trial and national-level advocacy.

Before entering private practice, Chloe built a strong litigation foundation as an Assistant State Attorney in Miami-Dade, handling thousands of cases ranging from DUIs to serious violent crimes. She later transitioned into civil defense, gaining deep experience in case valuation, negotiation, and trial strategy.

In this episode, Abe and Chloe also dive into:

The contrast between big-city and small-town law school life
Her leadership roles and national debate success at Florida International University
Real courtroom experiences and lessons from prosecution and defense
Her transition into running her own firm at CD Law Pro
Travel, lifestyle, and balancing a demanding legal career

From snowboarding across the U.S. to traveling internationally—including her love for Colombia—this episode goes beyond law and into the mindset of a driven attorney building her own path.

If you’re interested in criminal defense, civil litigation, or what it really takes to become a trial lawyer, this episode delivers real insight.

In this episode of Legally Exhausted Podcast, host Abraham Ovadia sits down with Claudia Cobreiro to talk about the realities of building a solo practice from the ground up.

Claudia is the founder of Cobreiro Law, a Coral Gables-based firm serving clients throughout Florida. Her practice focuses on family law, real estate, probate and estate planning, and business law, and her firm proudly represents clients in both English and Spanish.

In this conversation, Claudia shares her journey from her early days as a new attorney to running her own firm, and how she’s consistently pushed herself to outperform each previous year—both in cases and revenue. She opens up about the challenges of staying lean while growing, and the pride she takes in building a strong, reliable team.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode is Claudia reflecting on one of her first cases working with Abe—a heartbreaking situation involving a child who lost her mother. In that case, Abe made the decision to waive his attorney’s fees so the child could receive more from the settlement. Inspired by that act, Claudia chose to do the same. It’s a story that speaks to the values behind the profession and the impact attorneys can have beyond just legal outcomes.

This episode is about growth, integrity, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the legal field.
