About Jeremy T. Cranford

My name is Jeremy T. Cranford. I am an attorney who practices in Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, and Santa Rosa Counties of Florida.

I am a Real Estate Litigation Attorney as well as a Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator (Circuit & Appellate) & Qualified Arbitrator.

I am an experienced analyst, problem-solver, and legal advocate. I do my best to understand my clients and the situations they find themselves in.

For over a decade, I have focused myself almost entirely on Real Estate Law. That began when, following law school (J.D.), I pursued and obtained my Masters of Laws (LL.M.) in Real Estate Law. Then, after years of practice, exhaustive testing, and peer reviews, I became a Board Certified Specialist (B.C.S.) in Real Estate Law. That means that The Florida Bar certifies me as an expert in Real Estate Law. Only about 00.5% of Florida Attorneys are Board Certified in Real Estate Law. Lastly, because of my focus and my ongoing contributions thereto, I am an Executive Council Member of the Florida Bar’s Real Property, Probate & Trust Law Section.

I want to talk to you about your real estate projects, disputes, and problems. I am confident that I can help.

I have had the privilege of working with Jeremy for close to a decade and I would highly recommend him for your real estate legal matters. Jeremy’s exceptional work ethic, coupled with his mastery of Florida law, resulted in the successful resolution of a complex legal matter. He always communicated in a timely manner and kept me informed of all actions throughout the case. And his ability to present facts and explain the intricacies of the law in a way I could understand (without jargon) was a breath of fresh air. Without his knowledge and dedication, I’m not sure my issue would have been resolved. I’m grateful for his counsel and all he has done for me.

Jeremy helped us through a complicated real estate legal matter that required immediate and decisive action. Jeremy was highly responsive, explained things thoroughly and clearly, and kept us appraised at every step. He explained his fee structure up front and there were no surprises. Jeremy is knowledgeable and passionate about the law and caring and compassionate for his clients. He quickly negotiated an equitable settlement, avoiding having to file a lawsuit. I recommend him without reservation.

    Cases
    Okaloosa County Property Appraiser v. Carol A. Hamby, 128 So.3d 802 (Fla 1st DCA 2013)(Plaintiff/Appellate-Respondent ("Taxpayer"), by Mr. Cranford, filed suit asserting that Defendant/Appellate-Petitioner ("PA") deprived Taxpayer of the equity of Taxpayer's claimed-homestead improperly both (1) procedurally, without notice
    opportunity to be heard (a violation of the due process clause of the Federal
    Florida Constitutions)
    , (2) substantively, upon a faulty determination by the PA that the Taxpayer did not use claimed-homestead as Taxpayer's permanent residence. PA moved the Circuit Court to dismiss the action asserting that Section 194.171, F.S. deprived said jurisdiction upon the elapse of sixty (60) days from the mailing of a 'Notice of Intent to Lien' under 196.161, F.S. Taxpayer, by Mr. Cranford, filed written argument
    orally argued (1) that Section 194.171, F.S. did not operate upon 196.161 retroactive actions, (2) that even if it could, PA failed to demonstrate compliance with the requirement of 'certification under 193.122(2), F.S.' required by 194.171, F.S., (3) that Taxpayer's timely petition to the Value Adjustment Board (improperly summarily dismissed without hearing)
    prompt filing of Circuit Court action thereafter, each served to ensure that the Circuit Court did hold jurisdiction
    could, therefore, adjudicate those claims presented. Taxpayer, by these arguments, prevailed upon this issue at the Circuit Court. PA petitioned the First District Court of Appeals of Florida ("1st DCA") to issue a writ of prohibition that would have restrained the Circuit Court from continuing in the action on the same basis. Ordinarily, the appellate court would review the matter
    issue an order to show cause directing the respondent to file a written brief to resist the petition for writ. Sensing an opportunity to save the client's resources, Mr. Cranford moved to supplement those materials filed by the PA with those materials the Taxpayer, by Mr. Cranford, had filed in the Circuit Court. The 1st DCA granted motion to supplement
    issued a denial of PA's petition for writ of certiorari via a per curiam denial. Thus, Taxpayer prevailed at the appellate level without having to file a written brief or expend those significant resources ordinarily necessary when involved in appellate-level litigation.)

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
