Attorneys serving Dunedin and Pinellas County.

Our connection to Dunedin

Dunedin is a forty minute drive from our Lutz office, and it is one of the Pinellas communities where long established family and property matters drive the work. Dunedin clients' civil matters are heard at the Pinellas County Courthouse in Clearwater, and Gwen Walkowiak's and David Walkowiak's combined experience in real estate and estate planning cover the matters Dunedin residents most frequently bring to us. Small firm overhead and direct attorney access are the consistent reasons Dunedin clients choose us over larger Pinellas firms.

What Dunedin calls us about

Estate planning leads. The Dunedin client base runs toward long-established homeowners, retirees, and families holding property across generations. That’s the audience Gwen drafts for every week. Wills, revocable living trusts, healthcare advance directives, and Florida homestead planning are the core. Many Dunedin homes have been in the same family for decades, which makes homestead planning a particularly important piece of the engagement.

Real estate is the second largest piece. Dunedin’s downtown district and its waterfront neighborhoods produce title issues, closing disputes, and short-timeline purchases that benefit from experienced counsel. David’s Board Certification in Real Estate Law is usually the reason Dunedin clients with anything more complicated than a clean closing reach our office, most often through a Dunedin-area Realtor who has seen us close a difficult deal.

Mediation, personal injury, and civil litigation make up the rest. David is Supreme Court certified in civil and family mediation, and Dunedin disputes that benefit from mediation come in regularly, sometimes as neutral work and sometimes as counsel.

The case for our office

Dunedin has plenty of firms. What we offer is the quality of attention a Dunedin client gets from a two-partner practice, where caseloads are sized so every matter actually gets a partner’s time. Twenty-five years in the same office means Dunedin referrals usually come from someone whose matter already closed and stayed closed.
