John Phillips Cole is a lawyer practicing trust and estates litigation, trust administration, estate litigation and 11 other areas of law. John received a A.A. degree from Florida State University in 1983, and has been licensed for 35 years. John practices at Gunster in Jacksonville, FL.
I spoke with several attorneys in the Jacksonville area and they were basically unanimous that John is the premier trust and estate litigation attorney in North Florida. I am very pleased with his representation to date.
John is highly knowledgeable and very clear on his explanations regarding options and strategies. He responds to all e-mails and calls immediately and most importantly he gets results!
According to New York Times best selling author 80% of the world's lawyers are in the United States and the legal profession has become so large it is being used to steal. After reviewing account statements I found that Mr. Cole was billing an account for services that seem contrived. He was hired as a 3rd party attorney by a major bank. Those services were for a "situs change" back to Florida. Yet the situs never left Florida in the first place according to the legal department of a state chartered financial services company. It is also apparent the situs never left Florida if one reviews the statutes and the governing document. In order to change the situs, according to Florida law, a court proceeding would have been required. That court proceeding never happened. In order to justify the charges Mr. Cole sent a document of questionable origin indicating the situs was changed to Ohio in 2007. But we have documentation showing that the situs was in Florida in 2008.
