Attorneys serving St. Petersburg and Pinellas County.

Our connection to St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg is a 45 minute drive across Tampa Bay. Most of our weekly work is north of the bridge, but we handle St. Pete matters regularly. Personal injury, real estate, and civil litigation are the biggest areas for our St. Pete clients, especially clients who want experienced real estate counsel without paying downtown St. Pete rates. We appear in Pinellas County court in Clearwater and St. Petersburg, and virtual consultation is always on the table for clients who would rather skip the drive. Twenty years of practice in Tampa Bay means we have the relationships. A small firm structure means every St. Pete client works directly with David or Gwen.

What St. Petersburg clients come to us for

Personal injury leads the list. Auto accidents on I-275 through the city, pedestrian and bicycle injuries along Central Avenue and the Pinellas Trail, and slip-and-falls at St. Pete retailers all end up at our office. David handles these himself, working through Florida’s PIP framework and the Pinellas civil rules.

Real estate and foreclosure defense is the next largest area. The St. Pete market runs from downtown high-rises to the old bungalows of Old Northeast and Kenwood, and that mix produces title issues, homestead disputes, and purchase-and-sale problems that benefit from board-certified counsel. David holds Florida Bar Board Certification in Real Estate Law, held by fewer than one percent of Florida attorneys. That depth matters most when a closing has to happen on a specific day.

Civil and commercial litigation makes up the rest of the core work. Small business disputes, commercial leases along Central Avenue, contractor disputes on waterfront renovation projects. A lot of it reaches us through word of mouth from St. Pete clients we’ve already worked with.

Why cross the bay?

The honest answer is that most St. Pete clients don’t have to. Consultations by phone or video, e-signature, and secure document exchange handle most matters without an office visit. When an in-person meeting makes sense, a twenty-minute drive north gets you a firm where David or Gwen is the person on the file. No intake coordinator, no case manager fielding the strategy calls. That is usually what tips the decision for St. Pete clients comparing our office to a downtown firm.
