Our connection to Lutz
Our State Road 54 office sits in Lutz. This is home. David has coached hockey here, and Gwen has served on Tampa Bay nonprofit boards rooted in the Lutz community for decades. Our clients come from every corner of Lutz, including Cheval, Heron Preserve, Cypress Creek, the older neighborhoods around Lake Keystone, and the newer developments along Bearss Avenue. Being a Lutz firm isn't a marketing claim for us. It's an accurate description of the place we go home to every night.
Lutz is a border town in the best sense
Lutz straddles the Hillsborough and Pasco county line, which means our Lutz clients routinely have matters in both county court systems. That’s a small detail that matters more than it sounds. Filing in the wrong jurisdiction can cost months and filing fees. We handle matters in both counties every week and understand the practical differences between the Hillsborough and Pasco judicial circuits.
The work we do for Lutz residents
Real estate closings and contract review fill a lot of our Lutz calendar. Lutz property values have appreciated sharply over the last decade, and most of our Lutz clients are either trading up, downsizing, buying investment property, or helping adult children into their first home. Each of those transactions carries different tax and estate implications that a cookie-cutter closing misses.
Estate planning and civil mediation make up most of the rest of the Lutz practice. A fair number of Lutz clients have stayed with us for decades. A first real estate closing in their thirties, a will in their forties, a business dispute mediated in their fifties, a trust amendment in their sixties. That’s what a small firm is for.
A note on local community
Gwen Walkowiak serves on the Boards of Directors of Christian Social Services and Angel of Hope Memorial Gardens, two Tampa Bay nonprofits that do real work in the Lutz and surrounding communities. If you’ve been to a church fundraiser or a community memorial service in the last several years, there’s a reasonable chance you’ve met her.
