Professional Experience

Christopher Cancio is an Associate in Lydecker’s Miami office and is part of the Construction Defect Litigation team. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Christopher has a strong foundation in law and litigation. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Puerto Rico, graduating cum laude in 2018. His pursuit of legal excellence continued at the Interamerican School of Law in San Juan, where he received a Juris Doctor in 2022. After gaining admission to the Florida Bar in 2023, Christopher launched his legal career as a prosecutor in the State Attorney’s Office for Miami-Dade County.

During his tenure as a prosecutor, Christopher gained significant trial experience, handling a wide range of cases in both bench and jury trials. He was instrumental in the successful prosecution of numerous cases, honing skills in courtroom litigation, case strategy, and legal research. This invaluable experience laid a solid foundation for his transition into insurance defense at Hicks, Porter & Stein, P.A., where he represented corporate and insured clients in a wide range of civil matters, including premises liability, personal injury, and general negligence claims across Florida. Building on that litigation background, he later joined Lydecker, where he now focuses on complex construction defect litigation involving residential and commercial properties.

Christopher brings a results-driven approach to every case, ensuring that clients receive dedicated and effective representation. With a commitment to upholding the highest standards of legal practice, he is an integral part of the Lydecker team.
