October 3, 2025
FT LAUDERDALE, FL—Kelley | Uustal announced that Manny Serra has been appointed as Managing Partner. Serra has litigated more than 1,500 cases and conducted over 30 jury trials. Early in his career at the Broward County Public Defender’s Office, he became known for “policing the police” and Judges nicknamed him “Motion Manny.” When working in the field of first-party property litigation, he witnessed how large insurers systematically underpaid claims and treated people as case files rather than human beings. This conviction drove Serra to focus on delivering personalized, client-centered justice through technology, teaching other attorneys how to use artificial intelligence in practice management and law firm operations.
