The Legal Information Floridians
Actually Need

These guides are written by the attorneys at Jeff T. Gorman Law Offices to answer the questions we hear most often from Treasure Coast residents — before they even pick up the phone. Florida law is specific, frequently updated, and consequential. The 2023 HB 837 tort reform, the 2023 alimony statute overhaul, and the 2023 equal time-sharing presumption all changed the legal landscape significantly. These guides reflect current Florida law.

Why We Publish These Guides

Open Legal Information
Makes Everyone Better Off.

Informed Clients Make Better Decisions
A person who understands the 10-day DUI deadline before they call an attorney is better prepared. A family that knows what equitable distribution means before a divorce consultation uses that consultation more effectively. Knowledge is not a threat to our practice — it makes our clients more capable partners in their own cases.
Florida Law Changes. Guides Should Too.
The 2023 alimony reform. The 2023 tort reform. The 2023 equal time-sharing presumption. Three major legislative changes in one year. Most online legal resources haven’t caught up. These guides are written and maintained by the attorneys who practice under the current law every day in Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach County courts.
No Sign-Up. No Gatekeeping. No Catch.
These guides are completely free and open — no email required, no form to fill out, no follow-up calls unless you want them. We believe that legal information should be accessible to everyone. If these guides help you handle a situation yourself, that’s genuinely good. If they help you understand that you need an attorney, call us.
