Helped tremendously in a family dispute.

Jesse was calm, cool and collected and carefully helped my family navigate some rough waters. We couldn't have managed without his expertise and his confident manner.

Knowledgeable business law and contract attorney in Sarasota area

Our firm has been working with Mr. Tilden since 2008, and highly value his opinion and expertise within the areas of business and contract law. He is conservative and specific with his documentation, and makes sure his clients are fully aware of potential legal outcomes and the scope of any business... decisions they choose to make. His many years of experience as an attorney in real estate and commercial business litigation have been valuable, on more than one occasion, in drafting contracts and negotiations. We will continue to use his services, and highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
