Lee County Legal Aid Society bolsters elder law practice with Kevin Sarlo as staff attorney

FORT MYERS, Fla. - EntSun -- Lee County Legal Aid Society has hired Kevin Sarlo as a staff attorney, expanding the organization's elder law practice and strengthening its ability to provide critical civil legal services to low-income residents across Lee County.

Sarlo, a Fort Myers native, earned his Bachelor of Arts in English literature, with a minor in classics, from the University of Notre Dame in 2012 before receiving his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center in 2016.

He began his legal career as an assistant public defender in Florida's 20th Judicial Circuit, representing individuals who could not afford legal counsel. He later transitioned to civil law and will now focus primarily on elder law at the Legal Aid Society, while also bringing experience in housing, consumer and bankruptcy law.
