Attorneys serving Tallahassee and Leon County.

Our connection to Tallahassee
Tallahassee is about four and a half hours north of our Lutz office via I-75 and I-10. It is the state capital and a university town, with a real estate market shaped by state government employment and Florida State University activity. David is Board Certified in Real Estate Law through The Florida Bar, a credential that carries weight in Leon County the same way it does anywhere else. Gwen drafts estate plans for Tallahassee families under the same Florida statutes that apply in every county. Most Tallahassee engagements run by phone, video, and e-signing.
What Tallahassee calls us about
Real estate leads the work. The Tallahassee market runs from historic neighborhoods like Los Robles and Myers Park to newer subdivisions off Thomasville Road and the Killearn area. Investment property near the university, rental property owned by out-of-town landlords, and residential closings for state employees and faculty are all regular work. David reviews the Tallahassee contract, coordinates with the local title company, and closes by e-signing.
Estate planning for Tallahassee families goes to Gwen. State employees, university faculty, and legislative staff all benefit from careful Florida Retirement System beneficiary planning, and blended-family and stepchild considerations come up regularly. Florida homestead rules apply in Leon the same way they do anywhere else. Wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives get drafted to move smoothly through Leon County probate if administration is ever required.
Immigration for Tallahassee clients is filed with USCIS, with biometrics and interviews scheduled at regional field offices (usually Jacksonville or Tampa depending on case type). The full federal process runs from our office.
Why our office
Tallahassee has capable firms. What we offer on top of that is a board-certified real-estate specialist paired with an estate planning partner, in a two-attorney office with twenty-five years of practice. A Tallahassee client reaches a partner on the first call and stays with the same partner for the life of the matter, paying rates set by Lutz overhead rather than by a downtown Tallahassee office. Most engagements come to us by referral, and the referrals hold up over time.
