Attorneys serving Fort Myers and Lee County.

Our connection to Fort Myers

Fort Myers is about two and a half hours south of our Lutz office on I-75. Close enough that a Fort Myers client who wants an in-person meeting can make the drive in a morning, though most engagements run by phone and video. David is Board Certified in Real Estate Law through The Florida Bar, and his Fort Myers real estate work is a consistent share of the caseload, driven by the volume of residential and investment-property transactions in Lee County. Gwen drafts Florida estate plans for Fort Myers families under the same Florida statutes that apply in every county.

What Fort Myers calls us about

Real estate dominates the work. Lee County runs a mix of canal-front, gulf-access, and inland residential property, and each category carries its own title considerations. Coastal flood disclosure, post-hurricane rebuild and insurance disputes, and riparian rights on canal properties all come up regularly. David reviews the Fort Myers contract, coordinates with the local title company, handles title defects and closing disputes, and closes by e-signing. Transactions in McGregor, Edgewood, Gateway, and along the Caloosahatchee come through the office with regularity.

Estate planning for Fort Myers families goes to Gwen. The Fort Myers retiree population is substantial, and wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, and healthcare directives are drafted to match how the Lee County probate court handles administration. Out-of-state heirs and multiple real-property holdings are common considerations in the planning here.

Immigration runs through USCIS, with biometrics at the Fort Myers application support center. Family-sponsored green cards, naturalization, and fiancé(e) visas are federal matters, and the full process runs from our office.

Injury matters are accepted where the case can be handled pre-suit or remotely. When a Fort Myers case requires heavy in-person work at the Lee County Justice Center, we’ll tell the client directly that a local trial firm is the better choice.

Why our office

What brings Fort Myers clients to us is the credential and the access. The two-partner structure means a partner handles the closing, the will signing, or the immigration filing from intake to resolution. Twenty-five years at one Lutz office is the backdrop for every Fort Myers engagement.
