Impacting Tomorrow

Gerber Law has served the community for 25 years and has a rich history of generously supporting Florida’s youth programs. Maria Gerber believes that attorneys can not only positively influence our communities in real time, but also make an impact on our future. One of the key ways Maria Gerber believes that she can best do that is by supporting our youth.

When she was an Assistant State Attorney in the 6th Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, she regularly volunteered her time at Teen Court, which is a “peer court” for high schoolers facing first-time misdemeanor or traffic charges.

Maria Gerber owns and operates Invictus Advocacy Academy which instructs students in public speaking, logic, advocacy, and much more. Hundreds of students have graduated from the academy and many have gone on to institutions such as Princeton, West Point, Cornell, and University of Florida. Many have graduated from law school, military academies, and graduate programs.

Through her involvement in Invictus Advocacy Academy and several other programs, Maria Gerber coaches and instructs high school, university, and law school students who compete in forensics. Maria believes that shepherding the youth of today means a better tomorrow for all of us. It is her passion to foster youth programs that enable students to learn the art of advocacy, including logic and rhetoric, so that they will be effective communicators. It is her hope that the youth with whom she works will become future leaders who properly balance compassion for humanity with their skills and ambition. Maria holds her students to a high standard of hard work, honesty, and ethics, which has proved a recipe for success as the teams she has coached have won or placed in many esteemed state, regional and national moot court and mock trial competitions.
