Gloria M. Xiques
Gloria has an extensive background in the legal field, having worked for 26 years for the legendary Henry Burnett, a founding partner and president of the prestigious law firm of Fowler, White, Burnett, P.A., in Miami Florida (of course, she started when she was only eight). It was there that she met and worked with Tom J. Manos for many years in the casualty department. She expertly supervised and developed organizational systems to make the department run efficiently, productively, and smoothly. After Henry Burnett's retirement, Gloria worked at the Willie Gary law firm in Stuart, Florida, then came back to Miami and worked at the Podhurst, Orseck firm, and for the Honorable Ted E. Bandstra, Magistrate Judge at the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida. After a brief retirement, she was vigorously pursued by the law firm of Tom J. Manos, P.A. which refused to take "no" for an answer. She currently manages the office and staff.
Gloria obtained her BA degree from Florida International University while working full time, and has been a devoted and passionate ballet dancer for most of her life under the guidance of the great Martha Mahr. Gloria balances her unsurpassed work ethic with a healthy life in harmony with her love of family, art, fashion, politics and the great outdoors. We are ecstatic and privileged to have Gloria on board.
