Our office in Tallahassee, Florida is in a historic building within walking distance of the State Capitol, many state agencies, the Florida Supreme Court, the Leon County Second Circuit Courthouse, and the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Florida.

The office is convenient for dealing with state agencies headquartered in Tallahassee, and matters such as appeals to the Florida Supreme Court. However, we practice statewide, from Pensacola to the Florida Keys, and  areas in between such as Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, West Palm Beach, Miami, Naples, and Ft. Myers. We also handle appeals to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court. We are also a member of the Georgia Bar. Occasionally, upon special admittance, we handle cases in other states.

We are selective about our clients. We want to take on client matters only when we can add value by providing timely advice that prevents legal problems or achieves a favorable outcome when the law and facts support the client’s position. Our reputation is at stake with every client. We decline many cases when we see no way to obtain a good result, whether we are defending or prosecuting the case. Although each party in a legal dispute has the right to an attorney, that does not mean we are willing to represent every party or accept every case. We strive to be candid in discussing the strengths of any case and the potential return on your legal investment

Our clients include individuals and Florida businesses, as well as national and international companies and government entities at the state or local level. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants, depending on the merits of the case. If you believe we can help with your case, please reach out to us.

If we accept your case, we may collaborate with other attorneys when it benefits you—due to the case’s size, the time constraints, the location, or other unique factors. Mr. Woodring has worked with hundreds of attorneys on various legal projects, gaining valuable experience in partnering with or supervising other lawyers for the client’s benefit. For example, he has worked with attorneys from Kirkland & Ellis, Hogan Lovells, Holland & Knight, White & Case, Carlton Fields, Ausley & Mcmullen, Shutts & Bowen, Banker Lopez Gassler, and Rumberger, Kirk & Caldwell.

We often co-counsel with other attorneys on appeals, especially if those attorneys have served as trial counsel. We welcome referrals from trial counsel for state, federal, and administrative appeals and handle most civil or administrative appeals at the state and federal level..
