Andrew Byer

Andrew Byer

Andrew Byer, Attorney, was born in 1962 in Jersey City, New Jersey, into a family enriched by his Italian immigrant mother's heritage. This bicultural environment, which included significant time spent in Italy, ingrained a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, influencing his aspirations and later career in international law. He pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at Columbia University, graduating in 1984, and his global perspective was further enhanced by a semester abroad in France.

After completing his Juris Doctor at Syracuse University College of Law in 1987, Andrew began his legal career in South Florida. His initial role was as Lease Administrator and Legal Counsel at Miracle Marketplace in Coral Gables, where he honed his skills in commercial law by managing lease negotiations and tenant relations.

In 1990, Andrew's career path shifted toward international business when he assumed the role of Director of Operations for Maria Pia, an Italian shoe manufacturer, in closing its U.S. operations. His fluency in Italian and comprehensive legal knowledge were crucial in overseeing the orderly shutdown of the company's American presence. He continued to build on this international experience from 1991 to 1994 as General Counsel and Director of International Sales at Intracorp, Inc., a firm that developed video gaming software. In this role, Andrew was pivotal in securing licensing deals with Hollywood studios, allowing for the creation of video games based on popular films, which dramatically expanded the company’s reach into global markets.

In 1994, leveraging his extensive legal and international business experience, Andrew founded the Law Offices of Andrew Byer. His practice specializes in helping European companies enter and thrive in the U.S. market, offering legal guidance and strategic business insights. His multilingual skills and deep understanding of cross-border transactions made his firm a valuable asset to its clients.

Driven by his love for high-quality audio, Andrew opened Magnum Opus Audio in 2007, a Fort Lauderdale boutique specializing in high-end audio and home theater systems. As the retail landscape evolved, he shifted his entrepreneurial focus to real estate, founding AJ&J Holdings, LLC, and later Bozhlona, Inc. in 2024, focusing on property management.

Outside his professional life, Andrew is an active philanthropist, mainly engaged in animal welfare and community service initiatives. Today, Andrew Byer significantly contributes to his industry and community, utilizing his vast experience in law, business, and real estate.

Angel DeBlasio is a New York native whose life reflects steady dedication to education, career, and family. She earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Criminal Justice from Florida Atlantic University’s Honors College, graduating summa cum laude while working full-time. Her ability to maintain high academic standards while managing professional responsibilities shows the level of focus and discipline that has guided her journey.

During her time at the university, she worked full-time at a Palm Beach law firm, gaining valuable experience in legal procedures and professional communication. The position required her to stay organized and dependable, qualities that became central to her work ethic. This early exposure to legal practice helped her build a strong foundation in the field.

After completing her studies, she returned to New York and continued her legal career at an international law firm in Manhattan. Working under a senior partner, she handled complex legal matters in a demanding environment. The experience broadened her knowledge of corporate law and strengthened her ability to operate in a high-pressure professional setting.

In 2004, she married and soon welcomed their daughter. Shortly before their daughter’s first birthday, the family moved to Boca Raton, Florida, where they built a home and settled into a community that supported their growing needs. She chose to step away from her professional role to focus on motherhood, household management, and her children’s development, using the same structure she had practiced throughout her academic and legal career.

Their daughter is a two-time Junior Olympian in Taekwondo and is training to compete in the 2028 Olympic Games. Their son, who began with baseball and track, is now a registered amateur boxer. She actively supports their training, education, and day-to-day routines.

She enjoys Pilates and has a personal interest in fashion and shopping. For over 20 years, she has supported causes related to multiple sclerosis, honoring the memory of her mother-in-law, who passed in 2024.

Angel DeBlasio and her husband will celebrate 22 years of marriage in January 2026. Through each chapter, she continues to lead her family with consistency and care.
