Aya Abunada, Esq. was born and raised in Largo, Florida and knew early on that she was born for a career in law. Eager to advance in her career, she obtained her Associates of Arts degree when she was just seventeen years old.

Her love of family law grew, and she knew she had found her passion.

Since graduating law school, Aya has continued to be involved in the local legal community, which included sitting on the Board of Directors for the Young Lawyers Division of the Clearwater Bar Association.
