We are a group of independent law firms practicing
throughout Florida that have combined their knowledge,
efforts, and resources. The goal is to increase efficiency,
lower costs, expand the scope and improve the quality of
legal services each firm provides to its own clients.
The member firms of the Florida Law Alliance are better
able to serve the interests of their clients because of
the statewide geographical reach, cumulative expertise
in both general and specialized practice areas, and local
community knowledge and legal credibility before a
specific court or other decision-making body.
The Florida Law Alliance is not a partnership. Each
member law firm is a separate entity that performs its
own work independently for its clients, and is solely
responsible for the quality of its work. No member law
firm accepts responsibility for another firm’s work.
