Tampa, Florida
Attorneys serving Tampa and Hillsborough County.
DHW Law has taken on matters for Tampa clients for 25 years. Real estate, estate planning, Supreme Court certified mediation, personal injury, immigration, and commercial disputes, all handled personally by David or Gwen Walkowiak.
Our connection to Tampa
Tampa is the metropolitan center we sit on the edge of. Our Lutz office is a twenty-minute drive from most of North Tampa, and we handle matters for Tampa clients every week. We appear in Hillsborough County court regularly, know the local judges and mediators, and have relationships with Tampa-area title companies and healthcare providers built over 25 years of practice. For Tampa clients who want the attentive service of a small firm without the pricing of a downtown office, we are often the right fit.
What Tampa clients call us about
Personal injury is the largest single piece of our Tampa work. Auto accidents on I-275, I-75, and the Veterans Expressway, slip-and-falls at Tampa retailers, and boating accidents on Tampa Bay all land on our intake list most weeks. David handles these matters personally, with 25 years in Florida’s no-fault PIP system.
Civil and commercial litigation comes next. Tampa business owners, professionals, and contractors bring us contract disputes, non-compete enforcement, collections, and commercial lease problems. The Hillsborough Civil Division runs a busy calendar, and knowing how it schedules lets us give clients a realistic sense of when something is actually going to resolve.
Real estate, estate planning, and mediation make up most of the rest. A large share of Tampa clients found us through a friend or family member who had already worked with us, which is the kind of referral we value most.
The case for a firm outside downtown Tampa
Three practical things. Our overhead in Lutz is lower than a downtown office, and the fees follow. When you call, you reach a partner rather than an intake coordinator or a rotating case manager. And the same two attorneys have been practicing here for 25 years, so Tampa clients work with David or Gwen from a first meeting through whatever comes after.
