A Personal Note from Jeannine
I’m Jeannine Nicole Rodriguez, the owner and founder of JNR Law Group, and an attorney who believes the law should make sense to the people living with its consequences. My practice is based in Miami, Florida, where I balance life as a lawyer and a mother—two roles that constantly remind me that real people, not case numbers, are at the center of every legal matter.My work focuses on real estate, criminal defense, estate planning, and civil litigation. Some days, I’m helping a family buy or sell a home, walking them through closing documents in plain language so they feel confident about what they’re signing. On others, I’m representing someone in state or federal court during one of the hardest moments of their life. I also work with clients to design thoughtful estate plans in place—structuring wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives that protects the people they love and reflects the way they actually live. I represent clients across Florida, and in federal matters I work with clients throughout the United States.
In every area of my practice, my goal is the same: to take what can feel like big, abstract “legalese” and translate it into clear, practical terms so you always understand your options and the real-world consequences of each decision. I maintain a litigation practice in state and federal courts while also overseeing the firm’s real estate transactional, title, and estate planning work, so clients have continuity across both their planning and their problem-solving.
Over the years, I’ve been honored to be recognized as a Lawyer of Distinction in Real Estate Law and as a Super Lawyers Rising Star in Criminal Defense, with selections every year through 2025. I work hard to stay current in these areas so I can give clients advice that is both accurate and realistic about what they’re facing.
At JNR Law Group, I want to be the person you call when life gets complicated—whether you’re planning for the future, buying a home, dealing with a dispute, or facing criminal charges. You’ll get honesty, plain talk, and an advocate who treats your case with the same seriousness and care she would want for her own family.
Founder & Managing Attorney
Jeannine Nicole Rodriguez is the founder and managing attorney of JNR Law Group, a boutique Miami practice she built in 2012 with a simple mission: to guide people through life’s most important legal moments with clarity, compassion, and unwavering advocacy.

As a litigator, she represents clients in contract disputes, real estate conflicts, business-related litigation, landlord-tenant matters, brokerage and transaction-related disputes, and criminal defense. She is known for her steady courtroom presence, thoughtful strategy, and ability to navigate complex disputes with both strength and empathy.
In her transactional practice, Ms. Rodriguez assists clients with real estate closings, title and escrow matters, deeds, contracts, corporate formation documents, operating agreements, revocable trusts, wills, durable powers of attorney, health care surrogate designations, and living wills. She takes time to explain every document and decision in plain language, ensuring clients feel informed, supported, and confident about their choices.
Her litigation background strengthens her transactional work. Whether drafting a contract, preparing an estate plan, or forming a business, she approaches each matter with an eye toward risk management, dispute prevention, and long-term protection.
