Attorneys serving Plant City and Hillsborough County.

Our connection to Plant City

Plant City sits on the eastern edge of Hillsborough County, about forty minutes from our Lutz office via I-75 and I-4. It is a community where matters tend to arrive through personal referral, neighbor to neighbor and family to family, and our Plant City caseload reflects that. Real estate, estate planning, and family law dominate the Plant City work. Because Plant City matters are filed in the Hillsborough County courts we already appear in weekly, the logistics are simple.

The Plant City practice

Real estate is the leading Plant City practice area. Plant City’s mix of agricultural land, older residential neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions along the I-4 corridor produces a consistent flow of closing issues, title problems, and boundary disputes that benefit from a board certified real estate attorney. David Walkowiak’s Florida Bar board certification in real estate law covers Plant City transactions ranging from family home sales to farm parcel splits and development deals.

Estate planning is the second pillar of the Plant City work. Plant City families often hold property across multiple generations, and the homestead and probate avoidance planning that Gwen Walkowiak focuses on is directly relevant to Plant City clients who want to keep property in the family without a probate fight. Wills, revocable living trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives are the core documents. The conversation with a Plant City client is frequently about how to handle a parent’s land, a family business, or a multi sibling inheritance cleanly.

Family law, personal injury, and criminal defense round out the Plant City caseload. Gwen’s family law work for Plant City is primarily uncontested, the kind of divorce or custody matter that benefits most from collaborative negotiation. David’s PI and criminal work for Plant City involves the I-4 corridor and the Hillsborough County courthouse in downtown Tampa.

Why a Pasco firm for a Plant City matter

Plant City is closer to Lakeland than to downtown Tampa, and Plant City clients tend to be practical about geography. A forty minute drive to a two partner firm that answers its own phones and carries twenty years of continuous practice in the same office is an easy trade for Plant City clients who want the matter handled once, correctly, by someone they can reach personally. Most of our Plant City clients come through a referral from a neighbor, a family member, or a Plant City Realtor or CPA, and the referral pattern is the one we trust most.
