Our Story

About SSF Law Firm

St. Philippe, Suprin & Francis, P.A. — a partnership born from decades of shared service, mentorship, and an unwavering commitment to South Florida’s immigrant community.

The Partnership

Three Attorneys.
One Foundation.

SSF Law Firm is not simply a collection of attorneys who share office space — it is a partnership built on a foundation of shared history, mutual respect, and a common mission. The story of SSF begins at Catholic Legal Services, Inc., where Georges Francis served as Managing Attorney and hired, trained, and mentored both Peterson St. Philippe and Cassandra Suprin.

Over the years, the three attorneys developed not only professional respect for one another but a deep friendship rooted in their shared commitment to serving South Florida’s immigrant community. When the opportunity arose to form their own firm, the decision was natural — they had already been working as a team for years.

Today, SSF Law Firm combines more than 50 years of collective immigration law experience with the cultural competency, language skills, and community connections that set them apart. The firm is fluent in English, Haitian Creole, and French, and serves clients from across the Caribbean, Latin America, and beyond.
