Michael Zeledón

Michael Zeledon is a Legal Assistant at Arias Sanguinetti Trial Lawyers, based in the firm’s Southern California office. As a member of the firm’s Complex and Class Action team, he supports attorneys in managing the information, documentation and day-to-day coordination. He brings an analytical approach to his work, along with experience in legal case management, client communication, document management and handling multiple priorities in fast-paced professional environments.

His legal career began on the plaintiff side as a Case Manager Assistant at a personal injury firm. In that role, he helped coordinate client medical treatment, maintained case information, communicated with clients, healthcare providers and attorneys, and assisted with insurance-related matters and other aspects of case development. Michael also supported intake and helped clients understand available resources and next steps in their care.

Before entering the legal field, Michael built a diverse professional background spanning financial services and construction project management. He spent more than a decade in the financial services industry, where his work centered on client relationship management, business development and community outreach. He later managed commercial and residential construction projects throughout Los Angeles County, overseeing project administration, contracts, budgets, procurement and client relationships. Across these roles, Michael developed experience organizing large amounts of information, balancing competing priorities and translating complex financial and project data into practical decisions.

Michael’s interest in law reaches back to his youth, when he participated in the City of Bell Police Department’s Explorer Program and was introduced to community service and the application of laws and ordinances. That early exposure, combined with his analytical background, eventually led him back to the legal field and an interest in continuing to develop the skills needed to analyze complex facts and identify the issues at the center of a matter.

He earned his Bachelor of Science in Finance from California State University, Los Angeles. Michael also earned a Certificate of Achievement as a Legal Support Professional and a Skill Certificate for Legal Office Assistant and is continuing his legal education through an ABA-approved paralegal certification program.
