About Constance D. Coleman

Constance D. Coleman is the managing partner and founder of Coleman Law Group, a Florida-based law firm with a powerful mission at its core: to serve with A Heart for People. She practices personal injury and immigration law; in every case, her passion is rooted in helping people navigate some of the most challenging moments of their lives, with compassion, integrity, and fierce advocacy.

Whether she’s fighting for justice after a serious accident or guiding someone through the complexities of the immigration system, Constance never loses sight of the human story behind every file. Her clients are not just cases; they are people, families, and futures.

Her journey into law was shaped by personal tragedy. After earning her law degree from Thomas M. Cooley School of Law, Constance experienced a heartbreaking loss when her brother died in a motorcycle accident. That grief became her fuel, a deep desire to advocate for others facing similar life-changing events.

“I turned the grief from losing my brother into action. Helping victims is how I honor his memory.”

In personal injury law, she stands beside individuals and families who are physically, emotionally, and financially hurting, fighting to get them the compensation and justice they need to heal and move forward.

Her heart is equally invested in immigration law. She understands the fear, hope, and uncertainty her clients carry as they seek to build better lives in a new country. She walks with them every step of the way, listening, supporting, and fighting for their future.

“A Heart for People” isn’t just a tagline—it’s the foundation of everything Constance does. She leads with empathy, courage, and faith, whether in the courtroom or at a client’s side. Her belief is simple: people matter, and their stories deserve to be heard and honored.

Before founding Coleman Law Group, Constance built a successful career in marketing and is also a licensed realtor and real estate investor. She continues to mentor others in business, speaks about balancing ambition with purpose, and donates time and resources to causes close to her heart, especially those supporting children, education, and people experiencing homelessness.

Coleman Law Group is more than a law firm serving people in Florida and throughout the United States. It’s where people find support, strength, and someone who truly cares.

When you work with Constance D. Coleman, you’re not just getting an attorney, you’re gaining an ally who leads with compassion and fights with heart.
