Strategic, Responsive, and Highly Skilled

I have worked with attorney Townsend Belt for nearly 15 years on a wide range of residential real estate litigation matters in Tampa. He has represented us on nearly every aspect of being a property owner – from drafting and defending lease agreements, rights of first refusal, and lease extensions, t...o representing us in court and on appeal before the District Court of Appeal. We have been with Townsend from the beginning and look forward to continuing to work with him at Strategist Law. His responsiveness, strategic thinking, and deep knowledge of Florida real estate law make him an outstanding resource.
