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.

The experience was much easier and expeditious than I anticipated. He was very articulate, knowledgeable and professional. He informed me of additional benefits of having a will / trust that I wasn’t aware of. Great overall experience and I recommend his firm with high marks. Thurman C McGlothlin Client

I just spent an hour and a half with an attorney and liked it. I had an exceptional experience dealing with the Law Office of David M. Goldman, PLLC. Mr. Goldman is personable, extraordinarily knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to make sure I understood all of the documents we were working with. At no time did I feel rushed, and yet no question went unanswered. I would 100% recommend David Goldman for any legal matters within the scope of his expertise.

Working with David to prepare our Living Wills, Wills and Revocable Trust was easy. They sent us some basic forms and turned them into legal documents with very little back and forth communication. When we had our face to face with David, he was prepared and took the time to go through the highlights of the documents and gave us plenty of opportunity to ask questions. We never felt rushed. He also has a great sense of humor which can be nice when dealing with what can be a pretty depressing subject…getting this life in order to move on to the next!

I have dealt with David and his law firm several times now and he has always been professional, polite, and very competent. I would urge anyone planning to establish an NFA gun trust or anything similar to contact David.

I found David's office to be extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. David has put a great deal of effort into making the experience manageable and positive during this difficult COVID time. It has been a pleasure working with him and his staff and with his life time policy of Trust support, I am also looking forward to working with him in the future.

We had an excellent experience getting our wills done. Because of Covid, we were able to complete everything remotely. David was able to explain the process clearly and went over the documents in detail to make certain we understood them. Overall we are very pleased and will do business with David again if the need comes up.

I called with some questions on my trust. He was easy to talk to and was very intuitive when answering my questions with the "clear" detail and facts I needed. In my call he was not rushed and made me feel at ease talking with him.

Mr. Goldman and his staff were very understanding of our scenario and rapidly acted to help us get everything secured in the event that something occurred to either us. Absolute Humanity and empathy and would never hesitate to recommend Mr. Goldman. Very accommodating and rapid action. We must say THANK YOU.

Thank you for the feedback. I am happy we were able to discuss your objectives and deliver a complete estate plan for your family within a few days. COVID-19 made things slightly more complicated but not impossible.
