Land-use attorneys
Jones Foster
Jones Foster P.A. is a commercial and private client law firm in Palm Beach County, Florida. Its practice topics are complex litigation and dispute resolution, corporate and tax, land use and governmental, real estate, private wealth (wills, trusts and estates), and trust and estate litigation.
The land use and governmental group works on both sides of the counter. A shareholder who co-chairs the group serves as town attorney for the Town of Jupiter, and the firm represented that town in litigation over its right to create a fire department, drawing in litigation shareholders from the firm's other groups. For owners and developers, that means entitlement and government work is handled by attorneys who also sit on the municipal side.
The firm runs three offices: West Palm Beach at 505 South Flagler Drive, Suite 1100; Palm Beach at 240 Royal Palm Way, Suite 200; and Jupiter at 4741 Military Trail, Suite 200. All three share the number 561.659.3000, and general enquiries go to info@jonesfoster.com. The firm publishes a Legal Insights series covering Florida homestead traps, rogue and fraudulent deeds, the FinCEN residential real estate reporting rule and Florida's Community Property Trust Act, and markets its history as "Our First 100 Years."
The practice is Florida-focused and no rates are published. Because attorneys at the firm also serve as counsel to local governments, an owner planning to oppose a Palm Beach County municipality should raise conflicts on the first call.
