July 15, 2011 - PRLog -- MIAMI - BNI Miami-Dade member Gina M. Polo, a partner with the law firm Weiss, Alden, & Polo, was recently named to Brickell magazine’s 2011 Top 20 Under 40.

A member of BNI chapter BNI Biscayne Connection, Polo concentrates her practice in immigration, naturalization, citizenship and consular law.
