Attorneys serving Clearwater and Pinellas County.

Our connection to Clearwater
Clearwater is a 35 minute drive from our Lutz office on a normal day, and the Pinellas County Courthouse in Clearwater is where nearly all of our Pinellas side civil matters are heard. That makes Clearwater an unusually natural geography for this firm. Our footprint in the Clearwater courthouse is a weekly one. David Walkowiak's board certification in real estate law and Gwen Walkowiak's estate planning practice together cover the matters Clearwater clients most often need handled.
What Clearwater clients come to us for
Real estate is the largest share of the Clearwater work. Clearwater and Clearwater Beach run a mix of luxury waterfront transactions, older-home title issues in neighborhoods like Harbor Oaks, and investment-property disputes. David’s Florida Bar Board Certification in Real Estate Law is why most real estate referrals reach us, and why clients with a hard closing deadline often pick him over a general practice.
Personal injury, mediation, and estate planning make up most of the rest. Civil mediation referrals come in steadily, with David serving as either the neutral or as counsel depending on who retained him. Family matters that benefit from mediation also come in regularly, since he is Supreme Court certified in family mediation as well.
The case for driving thirty minutes east
Clearwater has plenty of firms. What an east-end firm offers is ownership. Clients who have been through volume firms, where case managers schedule calls with rotating attorneys, tend to notice the difference the first time they call and reach David or Gwen directly. Twenty-five years in the same office, the same two partners on the file, and a referral list we’ve built carefully over time. That’s the offer, and it’s why Clearwater clients keep sending friends and family our way years after their own matter closes.
