Tampa Bay's Small Business Attorney — Based in Brandon, Available Across Florida

I've practiced out of Brandon since the late 1990s. My office is on East Lumsden Road, and my clients are spread across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Sarasota, and Manatee counties — with many I've never met in person. If you're looking for a business attorney in the Tampa Bay area who knows this market and can work with you wherever you're located, you're in the right place.

30 Years in This Market — I Know How Business Works Here

Eastern Hillsborough County has changed significantly since I opened my practice. The growth corridor stretching from Brandon through Riverview and into Apollo Beach and Sun City Center has brought thousands of new businesses and entrepreneurs into the region. I've worked with business owners at every stage of that growth — formations, acquisitions, contracts, succession plans, and everything in between.


That context matters. I'm not a Tampa Bay attorney because I have a mailing address here. I'm here because this is where I've built my practice and my professional relationships over nearly three decades.

The Florida Bar Doesn't Stop at the County Line

I'm licensed to practice throughout the State of Florida. That means if you're in Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Lakeland, or anywhere else in the state, I can represent you — and in most cases, we'll never need to be in the same room. My practice is built to work remotely, with consultations by phone or video and documents handled electronically. Your location is not a barrier to getting the legal support your business needs.
