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.

Just had David Goldman redo our wills, trusts, and powers of attorney after nine years. David also did the ones nine years ago. David seems very knowledgeable and thoughtful concerning all matters of asset management. he and all his assistants are great to work with -- some are still there from nine years ago. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

Goldman created my Gun Trust in 2016. In subsequent years, I've had questions as situations arose, he answered all promptly and satisfactorily. I don't normally work with out of area attorneys, but David was the best in the field that I found.

I would highly recommend Attorney Goldman. He was very easy to contact through his website, email response in less than a day, with an appointment scheduled the day after at a time that fit my schedule. Office was very easy to locate and the staff was very friendly. He was also very knowledgeable, showed great mastery of the topics we covered - making it very easy for us to understand the process. We met with him regarding guardianship information, asset protection and Medicaid process.

My wife and I recently used this law firm for all our estate planning needs. We were very pleased with our experience and highly recommend them.

David was hired to execute an estate planning package for my sister. It included a Living Will, Durable Power of Attorney and Last Will and Testament. He was considerate, patient and quite well informed and knowledgeable. He designed a package that perfectly reflected my sister's needs, both current and future. Needless to say, I would definitely hired David again and recommend his services.

Mr. Goldman was a huge help in wading through the confusing red tape of a Gun trust. He and his staff are very knowledgeable, very easy to talk to. His explanations were very clear and concise. Many thanks, Mr. Goldman.

David Goldman and his law associates have proven to be a valuable resource to me. Despite the fact that I relocated from Jacksonville to Naples, I continue to rely on Goldman and his firm for the vast majority of my legal work.

My fellow trustee and I were at odds and David Goldman helped protect my interests by staying faithful to our trust and to my best interests. David Goldman's command over trust administration and the legal judo of two quibbling trustees gave me the edge time and again. The final turnout was that we did not go to court and because we did not go to court legal fees were very respectable in comparison to the full estate value. With almost any other lawyer, the trust would have lost more.
