His litigation experience includes sitting first chair in the validation of more than $1.3 billion of bonds for various public entities, including three of the largest issuers in the Tampa Bay area.
Kareem believes in collaborating with all members of the working group and uses his gregarious personality and self-depreciating humor to encourage others to share great ideas and then work together to turn those ideas into action.
Kareem describes himself as a serial volunteer and regularly mentors young lawyers, law students, and at-risk young men in his neighborhood.
"Kareem lives by the mantra to try to 'be the best at everything that you do and if you are not the best, let it not be because you haven't given it your best.' His commitment to excellence in both personal and professional pursuits has been a cornerstone in his development as a highly respected bond lawyer and community leader."
