I am a founding partner with Thompson, Crawford & Smiley,which the 3 of us formed in 1993. Since then, I have had the privilege and honor of representing many individuals and small businesses in a vast array of legal matters. I handle both court litigation and transactional matters. One of the things I pride myself on is the personal attention that I give to all my cases. I strive to be as responsive as possible to my clients.
I am the proud father to 4 kids (3 of whom are now young adults) and have resided in Florida all my life. Tallahassee since 1983 and Sebring prior to that.
