Adding to the team's strength is Thomas G. Coleman, who focuses on litigating complex commercial, real estate, partnership, probate, and trust disputes in Southwest Florida. Thomas's impressive academic credentials reflect his dedication to legal excellence, graduating magna cum laude from the University of Miami School of Law and earning a Bachelor of Business Administration, cum laude, from the same institution. His commitment to the legal community is further showcased through his previous roles as President of the Lee County Bar Association Young Lawyers Division, a member of the Calusa American Inn of Court, and active involvement with the United Way of Lee, Hendry, Glades and Okeechobee Counties.
