Joseph "Joe" Zumpano of Schenectady, New York, is a distinguished attorney, former athlete, and community leader. A Belen Jesuit Salutatorian (1987) and Harvard graduate (cum laude), he won the All-Ivy Title in swimming before earning his law degree from Georgetown and a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins.

Joey and his wife Grace, also a Senior Partner at their law firm, married in 1997 and have three children—Andrea, Lucas, and Jesse. Their youngest, Jesse, was diagnosed with severe autism at 20 months. They consider raising their children, especially Jesse, their greatest blessing.

Joey is President of Zumpano Patricios, a leading law firm with six offices nationwide, and Chairman of ZP Land Holdings Companies. He and law partner Leon Patricios have secured landmark legal victories, including cases against Fidel Castro and the FARC, and Joey became the first U.S. attorney to recover against a Mexican cartel under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act. He has been named to Forbes’ Top 200 Lawyers, Hispanic Business Magazine’s 100 Most Influential Hispanics, and is a Life Member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Beyond law, Joey and Grace support the South Florida community through philanthropy and leadership, from rescuing Cuban migrants to developing the Gian Zumpano Aquatic Center. In 2024, Casa Manresa honored them by naming Zumpano Hall.

CARD has been central to their autism journey, providing assessments, sibling support, and personal guidance from Drs. Durocher and Alessandri.

This year’s CARD Gala honors Haley Moss, who began her career at Zumpano Patricios as the first openly autistic attorney in the Florida Bar. Joey told her at her swearing-in, “As an attorney, you will have the opportunity to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Haley has since become a nationally recognized advocate, author, and consultant on neurodiversity, appearing in major media outlets and advising corporations on inclusion.

Her honors include Forbes 30 Under 30 Local (2023), the ABA’s Breaking Barriers Award (2021), and UM-NSU CARD’s Outstanding Self-Advocate Award (2018). She is also the author of several books guiding autistic and neurodivergent individuals through education, independence, and professional life.

Haley lives in Miami and continues to inspire through her writing, advocacy, and work to create a more inclusive world.
