I grew up in a large NAVY family. My father flew out of Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base in the sixties and I fell in love with the Tampa Bay community. After law school at our nation's first law school, William and Mary, I came back to Florida to pursue my legal career with a passion for helping out individuals and families. I really enjoy the waterfront lifestyle here. I am a marathon swimmer and live aboard a 48 foot yacht in a marina at Clearwater Beach, Florida.
I am so blessed to have a strong and long serving staff that makes client communication a top priority.
My greatest joy is to work alongside my clients to help them plan for the future. It is amazing to see the relief that clomes from a successful conclusion, whether it be a recovery from a bad stockbroker, the completion of an estate or the preparation of an estate plan that fits the client's circumstances with precision.

Strongly Recommend!
Wonderful client service! We utilized Jeffrey Coleman for the purposes of estate planning. At our initial, Mr. Coleman was very thorough - asking very important questions to plan for our estate and trust. After that meeting, we worked primarily with his paralegal, Livia. Livia was very helpful and...

Empathy, Compassion, Experience and Expertise
Attorney Coleman and his staff responded quickly to our unexpected situation. Our mother's health took an unexpected turn, and they did everything within their power to support and guide us through a very difficult time.

So glad that we were able to help you and your family.

Approachable and Professional
I highly recommend Attorney Coleman when working with estate planning. He was extremely helpful, offering as much information as he could to help with my own family's situation. He was professional but very easy to talk to, and I felt very confident in his and his staff's abilities.
Thanks for your comments. I am so glad that you were confident in your selection of attorney. Jeff Coleman

Great to work with!
I worked with Mr. Coleman on the other side of an estate matter. He is not only super professional, but has great communication skills and follow up. It was truly a pleasure working with him.
Thanks to you, Ashley. You were very helpful in getting the estate property sold!

No communication
I hired Jeff at the recommendation of a title company as my mothers estate had to go to probate. I spoke on the phone first and was asked if I could handle the $4000 retainer fee. I had no other option but to pay. I met with his paralegal with my documents. I gave her a check for $4000.00. I had a...
