Why Dax Bello Deserves to Be Recognized
Mr. Bello's legal career reflects the qualities that the Circle of Excellence was made to honor. A graduate of the University of Miami and St. Thomas University School of Law, he began his career as an Assistant State Attorney, prosecuting serious crimes including homicide and armed robbery. He later served as in-house counsel for MasTec, Inc., gaining valuable insight into corporate practices. Since joining STFBC, he has built a career representing individuals and families facing some of the most devastating circumstances of their lives, earning recognition from his colleagues and numerous community organizations along the way.
Beyond the courtroom, Dax is devoted to serving as a leader in his field and community. Mr. Bello serves on the Florida Bar's Rules of Civil Procedure Committee, working to improve how plaintiffs are represented. He has held leadership roles with the Cuban American Bar Association (CABA), represented CABA before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and serves on the board of the Miami-Dade & Florida Keys Chapter of the American Red Cross. He is also deeply involved in the Kiwanis Club of Little Havana, helping raise support for youth programs and local initiatives.
We congratulate Dax on this well-deserved recognition. Being honored with the Circle of Excellence Award underscores his professional achievements and the values that guide our firm: dedication, compassion, and an unwavering pursuit of justice for those who need it most.
