30+ Years of Legal Experience in Florida
In our personal and business lives, we interact with others on a daily basis. Usually, those interactions are successful or, at least acceptable. But sometimes they are not. And when our interactions leave us dissatisfied or legally vulnerable, it is often appropriate to consult a qualified attorney with the experience necessary to act as your counselor and advocate.
At The Gillespie Law Firm, we have been representing individuals and businesses in the state and federal courts in Florida, protecting the interests of our clients in Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton. We appear almost daily in the Courts of Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties on Florida's southeast coast, and are called upon for litigation in many other Florida courts.
Our diverse practice has brought us into cases for large, medium and small businesses and for wealthy and not so wealthy individuals, prosecuting or defending sometimes complex and sometimes less complicated business claims. We have also successfully represented our clients in defending product liability claims and nursing home cases, litigating insurance disputes on behalf of the insureds and prosecuting and defending will and trust litigation. If you believe we may be of assistance, please contact us online or call 954-785-0001 to arrange an appointment. Initial consultations are generally at no charge.
