Attorneys serving Dunedin and Pinellas County.

Our connection to Dunedin

Dunedin is a forty minute drive from our Lutz office, and it is one of the Pinellas communities where long established family and property matters drive the work. Dunedin clients' civil and family matters are heard at the Pinellas County Courthouse in Clearwater, and Gwen Walkowiak's and David Walkowiak's combined experience in family law, real estate, and estate planning cover the matters Dunedin residents most frequently bring to us. Small firm overhead and direct attorney access are the consistent reasons Dunedin clients choose us over larger Pinellas firms.

The Dunedin practice

Estate planning is the most common reason Dunedin residents retain our firm. Dunedin’s demographic skews toward long established homeowners, retirees, and multi generational families. That is the audience Gwen Walkowiak builds estate plans for every week. Wills, revocable living trusts, healthcare advance directives, and Florida homestead planning are the core of the work. Dunedin’s older homes, many held in a single family for decades, make homestead planning a particularly important piece of the engagement.

Real estate is the second pillar. Dunedin’s downtown district and its waterfront neighborhoods produce a consistent stream of title issues, closing disputes, and short timeline purchases that benefit from board certified counsel. David Walkowiak holds Florida Bar board certification in real estate law, and Dunedin clients with anything more complicated than a clean closing usually reach us through a referral from a Dunedin area Realtor who has watched us close difficult deals.

Family law, mediation, and personal injury round out the Dunedin practice. Gwen’s family law practice focuses on uncontested divorce, custody, and the kind of quiet resolution that keeps Dunedin families out of protracted court battles.

Why a Pasco firm for a Dunedin matter

Dunedin has firms. The argument for DHW is not geography. It is the quality of attention a Dunedin client gets from a two partner firm versus a volume practice. Gwen and David each carry a caseload sized so that every Dunedin matter gets the partners’ time, and the twenty year history of the firm in the same office means Dunedin clients who come through a referral are almost always coming through someone whose matter is already closed, paid, and remembered fondly.
