Our connection to Brandon
Brandon is one of those geographies that makes sense for our firm without much explanation. It is a thirty minute drive east on I-275 and I-4, sitting squarely inside Hillsborough County where we already appear weekly. Brandon clients get the same access to David and Gwen as clients three miles from our office, and the matters we handle for Brandon residents (personal injury, real estate, criminal defense, family law) are the core of our practice. When a Brandon client wants a firm that knows the Hillsborough County Courthouse but is not located in the crush of downtown Tampa, we are a natural fit.
The Brandon practice
Personal injury drives the Brandon caseload. Auto accidents on I-75, I-4, and the SR-60 / Brandon Boulevard corridor, along with crashes involving commercial vehicles on the Crosstown Expressway, bring a steady flow of Brandon clients to David Walkowiak’s desk. Hillsborough County’s PIP heavy docket means Brandon cases often turn on the first fourteen days after the accident, and we counsel clients on the PIP timeline the same day they call.
Criminal defense is the second common reason Brandon residents retain us. DUIs on SR-60, drug possession cases from I-75 stops, and misdemeanor matters heard in the Hillsborough County Courthouse are all work David handles directly. Twenty years of Florida criminal defense experience and close familiarity with Hillsborough County’s plea bargain practices mean Brandon clients get a realistic read on likely outcomes at the first meeting.
Real estate, family law, and consumer debt defense round out the Brandon work. Debt defense in particular, which means defending Brandon residents against creditor lawsuits filed in Hillsborough small claims or county court, is a quiet but important part of our practice. It is also a place where a board certified attorney’s eye for procedural defects often produces the best result.
Why a Pasco firm for a Brandon matter
A firm in Lutz, sitting across the county line in Pasco, is not the obvious choice for a Brandon client. The argument is the same as for every Hillsborough client we serve. Lower overhead. Direct attorney access. Twenty years of continuous practice in the same office with the same two partners. Brandon clients with a first serious legal matter frequently tell us they expected a downtown firm’s call center experience, and were surprised when David answered the phone.
