Chambers USA

Chambers USA rankings are determined through thousands of interviews that are conducted by a team of 50+ full-time researchers. Chambers researches, compiles and launches completely new editions of their directories each year. Rodriguez has been named in Chambers USA for the past three years.

Florida Trend's Legal Elite

The top two percent of the more than 66,000 active Florida Bar members are included in Florida Trend's Legal Elite in which Rodriguez has been listed under International for the past two years.

Super Lawyers

Only five percent of the lawyers in the state of Florida are named Super Lawyers and Rodriguez has been chosen since 2008.

Rodriguez, who served as General Counsel to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, has more than 25 years of experience representing Fortune 100 clients, closely held companies, foreign governments, family businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs. She is a "trouble shooter" for clients using her wide-ranging experience in international and business litigation, business counseling, crisis management, and government affairs to help them achieve their goals and overcome potential threats.  

Rodriguez joined McDonald Hopkins in April 2011 when the firm opened a Miami office. She serves on the McDonald Hopkins Board of Directors and was recently appointed by Governor Scott to the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Third District Court of Appeal in Florida.
