Prior to obtaining his law degree, he was a student at the University of Miami, where he graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor's degree in business administration in accounting.

Pedro established his practice in that year as well, under Pedro A. Cofiño, P.A. It was in 1995 that he established Cofiño Trial Law.

Since being admitted to the bar over 25 years ago, Pedro has successfully worked in every single branch court in Dade County. He has tried many jury and non-jury cases.
