At Gardner Bist King & Wood, LLP (GBKW Law), we combine the history and experience of two of Tallahassee’s most respected firms to deliver trusted legal counsel with a personal touch. With roots dating back to 1978, our attorneys have guided individuals, families, and businesses through complex legal challenges for more than forty years.
From helping families plan for the future to guiding businesses through major transactions, our mission has remained the same: to provide high-quality legal representation at a fair cost, with the clarity and care clients deserve.
Our attorneys bring decades of collective experience across a wide range of practice areas, including:
Protecting families, assets, and legacies with clear plans and compassionate guidance.
Supporting entrepreneurs, professionals, and established companies through formation, governance, transactions, and disputes.
handling everything from residential purchases to complex commercial developments and litigation.
leveraging deep knowledge of Florida’s agencies, licensing boards, and courts to guide clients through compliance and advocacy.
Tallahassee is home to Florida’s Capitol, Supreme Court, and nearly every major state agency. Our attorneys know this landscape well. Many of us grew up here, attended local schools, and built lasting connections in the community. Those relationships and that insight give our clients a unique advantage when it comes to “getting things done” in Tallahassee.
We are proud to serve clients throughout Tallahassee, Leon County, and North Florida, offering both the sophistication of a large firm and the personal attention of a local practice.
