Florida Bar member with substantial experience in probate and estate administration (intestate matters strongly preferred).
Deep command of Florida Probate Code — you know the statutes, the timelines, the courts, and the judges.
Process-oriented and highly organized — you can manage a high-volume docket without letting anything fall through the cracks.
Entrepreneurial mindset — this is a new practice area; you'll help shape it.
Strong communicator with grieving families and internal stakeholders alike.
Experienced in contested probate matters — will contests, heirship disputes, or creditor claims don't rattle you.

Prepare and file all necessary probate documents — petitions for administration, letters of administration, inventories, notices to creditors, and final accountings.
Serve as the primary legal contact for families, walking next-of-kin through the process with clarity and compassion.
Coordinate with our internal team — our paralegals handle the administrative legwork; you focus on the legal strategy and filings.
Manage a volume caseload with precision, tracking each matter from initiation through estate funding and case closure.
Handle a mix of uncontested and contested matters, with contingency counsel available for complex disputes when capacity requires.
