Kevin Probst is dedicated to assisting clients in securing
short and long-term disability benefits across all phases of the process, from
initial claim filing to administrative appeals and then lawsuits in federal
court. With nearly a decade of experience at Legal Services of Greater Miami,
Kevin has successfully represented numerous clients in disability benefits,
special education, and health insurance disputes before joining Dabdoub Law
Firm.
Kevin's passion for disability law stems from his early
involvement with individuals with disabilities. During high school, he coached
a Special Olympics running team and organized a charity race benefiting the organization.
His commitment continued during his time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Namibia
and later as a teacher for middle school students with disabilities in
Washington, D.C. These experiences solidified his decision to pursue a legal
career advocating for the rights of people with disabilities.
Kevin's academic achievements include attending the
University of Miami School of Law on a Miami Scholars Public Interest
Scholarship. During his time there, he excelled in clinical work, receiving the
Dean's Certificate of Achievement. He was also elected president of the Charles
C. Papy, Jr. Moot Court Board and inducted into the Iron Arrow Honor Society,
the highest recognition at the University of Miami.
Following law school, Kevin served as the inaugural post-graduate
fellow at Miami Law's HOPE Public Interest Resource Center. He then became an
Equal Justice Works Fellow, establishing a medical-legal partnership at Legal
Services. Before pursuing law, Kevin earned Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees
in Education from Goucher College and the George Washington University,
respectively.
Outside his legal practice, Kevin is actively involved in
the community, serving on the Board of Miami Homes for All. He is licensed to
practice law in the State of Florida and the United States District Court,
Southern District of Florida.
