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.

Concerning Matrimonial property rights
I highly recommend Attorney Coleman and his staff as they are responsive and professional. Attorney Coleman takes time to explain, is personable and offered his time freely to assist. He made me feel I could trust him and would get the job done. I have also recommended him to an overseas client ...
