Mary Ann Stiles has worked in law for over 40 years now. Her work has always revolved around ensuring that workers compensation was a viable product for both the employers and employees. When she first started her career, however, because she was a woman she was often overlooked, and not taken seriously within her field. Both in law and especially as one of the first women to lobby the Florida Legislature full time representing business interests and especially that of employers. As time went on, Stiles went above and beyond to prove herself as a true law professional, and her list of accolades are proof that the work she’s done within the past four decades have paid off. Her drive to succeed and overcome the misogyny that existed, and still exists, within the legal field is also what makes her such a successful advocate for all of her clients. She too had to fight for herself all throughout her life, and she transfers that passion into everyone she comes in contact with.
