Gunster

At Gunster, our approach to service can be described with a simple statement: to exceed expectations. Easy to say, yet not always easy to do. Nevertheless, we’ve built our business and our reputation striving to do so, one case at a time for nearly a century.

Clients who get to know Gunster realize one thing in a hurry: we attract and cultivate attorneys who want to go above and beyond. What’s the best way to preserve a family’s estate? Counsel them for generations. How about a conservation case? Wade our way through swamp water. A business litigation matter? We’ll swim with the sharks — and the dolphins. Gunster is ready, eager in fact, to introduce you to our tradition of individualized service.

At Gunster, Florida is more than a place of business; it’s who we are. We’re deeply invested in our state. Our clients know their law firm is woven into the fabric of the community through government, business and philanthropic pursuits. We are committed to providing leadership and outreach by offering both time and resources to important causes.
