About Law Office of David M. Goldman PLLC

The Law Office of David M Goldman is a general practice law office licensed to practice in the state and federal courts of Florida. Our legal team focus on Estate Planning, Elder Law, Probate, Family, Criminal, and Business Law. Call Today.

Our experienced estate planning, probate, elder law lawyers, and asset protection attorneys at the Law Office of David M. Goldman help protect families throughout Florida, including Jacksonville, Orange Park, Atlantic Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach, from unnecessary expenses and risks to their estates and assets. Proper estate planning & elder law can help protect your family and lower the risk of loss to creditors. Many types of planning can lower the cost of probate in Florida. We utilize some of the best estate planning, probate, and elder law techniques, including the Florida Asset Protection Trust. These Asset Protection trusts can protect assets from long-term care or nursing home disqualification and from other creditors.

We help by explaining the most important and best or options using easy to understand language whenever possible. Next, we use our knowledge of Florida Asset Protection Law to find and evaluate options for our clients' estate planning and elder law needs.

We are responsive and for those who need documents fast we can react quickly. Many estate plans can be created in a weeks. In emergencies, our Estate Planning lawyers may even be able to have documents ready within a day.

The Law Office of David M. Goldman's Estate Planning lawyers focus on providing value to our clients with individualized estate planning documents designed to meet their goals and objectives. One of our goals in creating your estate planning documents is to avoid probate and the corresponding court supervision, delay, and costs associated with the distribution of assets created by a Florida Probate. Many people mistakenly believe that a will avoids probate in Florida. This belief is not valid. A will creates the need for a Florida Probate. Contact us today to discuss your situation and let us customize an estate plan that protects your interests.

We offer multiple types of probate administration, including Formal Probate Administration and Summary Probate Administration. In Florida, a Summary Probate is available if the decedent died more than two years ago or if there are less than $75,000 in assets subject to a Florida Probate. The best time to find out about your options is before you need probate; call our estate planning and probate lawyers today to see if you qualify for a Free Consultation.

We know many people do not have time during the day to discuss their legal issues; therefore our lawyers are available after hours to discuss your issues. In most practice areas, we even offer free 30-minute consultations to discuss your options. See the individual practice area pages for more details on these issues.

My wife and I are so grateful to Mr. Goldman for his expert assistance with estate planning for my mom. He initially set up Mom’s trust, will, living will, etc. several years ago, and recently updated everything to prepare us for living overseas as full-time missionaries with my 80-year-old mother joyfully coming with us. We had to plan for how to take care of Mom should happen to us while overseas, as well as to allow us to take care of her legal and medical needs should anything happen to her. Mr. Goldman is warm, caring, kind, and knowledgeable in all areas of estate planning. He went over and above to protect Mom’s needs and put her best interest above all. He met with her privately to talk through her needs and desires, made sure she had a thorough understanding of everything being put in place, and ensured the plans were according to her wishes. We appreciate his protection and concern for her. Mr. Goldman is an attorney with integrity, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

We had an excellent experience working with Mr. Goldman to craft a comprehensive estate plan. He was very patient in his evaluation of our previous documents and worked with us to transition to a plan that better fit our needs. He was always very approachable and answered our questions regarding a significant number of details that were initially unclear to us. We were never hurried in the process and we felt comfortable that the plan was as definitive as possible. We highly recommend him.

We recently had an appointment with Brian Sherman at the Law Offices of David Goldman. We found Brian to be very knowledgeable in "elderly" documents and understood the intent of what we wanted to include in our documents. Additionally, we found him to be exceptionally helpful in the time he took to explain all the "legal" wording in the documents and giving "simple" examples in the explanations. I would recommend using Brian Sherman at the Law Offices of David Goldman.

My experience with David Goldman's law firm was excellent. I was dealing with multiple issues with my estate planning and several new automobiles trust he was setting up for me and it was refreshing to have a lawyer who is not only verses in his area of law but also has had extensive practical experience as a business owner. It has been easy to navigate through my asset protection issues, and David came up with the best strategic plan to save on future taxes for myself, family, and current businesses. David Gorden Pres.
