Loevin Law Group
Loevin Law Group, PA is a boutique Florida law firm whose commercial real estate team negotiates, structures, and implements commercial property leasing, acquisitions, and sales. It represents real estate developers, property owners, corporate entities, private lenders, and investors acquiring, developing, and selling commercial property throughout Florida, on projects of varying uses, sizes, and complexities.
For investment clients the firm drafts buy-sell agreements, development contracts, and commercial leases, arranges 1031 exchanges, attends zoning and land use permit hearings, conducts title searches, represents clients in real estate tax contests, and drafts loan agreements, mortgages and promissory notes for commercial and residential loans. It also structures real estate investment trusts, investigates financing, identifies possible acquisitions, and provides loan resolution options and analysis for investors holding defaulting mortgages and notes. Florida land trusts are a named practice area, as is title examination and issuing title insurance in-house rather than through a separate agency.
Offices are in Boca Raton, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, with the commercial real estate page also naming Kendall and Doral, and the firm says it keeps experienced closers throughout the state. Its about page cites 75 years of combined experience across the firm, while the commercial real estate page cites over 50 years of combined experience within that team. Other practice areas include asset protection and estate planning, community association law, probate, private lender representation, residential real estate, corporate and business law, and real estate litigation.
The firm advertises a free consultation and says its lawyers are available after hours to discuss matters. Fees are not published; confirm scope and cost directly.

Florida developers, investors, private lenders, and foreign national buyers who want one firm handling the contract, the entity, the title work, and the closing. Not a fit for property outside Florida.

Common questions
- Can asset protection planning be done after a lawsuit is filed?
- No. The firm states asset protection planning can only be done before a lawsuit or the threat of one is known. It describes the work as positioning assets so that lawsuits are discouraged or a mutually beneficial settlement is prompted, not transferring assets once a claim is already in view.
- Is asset protection planning only for the wealthy or high-risk professions?
- The firm's position is no. It states that anyone engaged in activity that could give rise to a lawsuit - driving a car, employing another person, allowing people into their home - is exposed, and that the planning is not about hiding assets, keeping secrets, or defrauding anyone.
- How can probate be avoided?
- Only assets held in an individual's own name or payable to their estate go through probate. The firm points to a fully funded revocable living trust, contract assets such as life insurance, retirement accounts and annuities, and assets owned by joint tenants with rights of survivorship.
- What is a Florida land trust?
- A Florida land trust is a private agreement among different people to operate, manage, and hold legal title to Florida real property, with title vested in a trustee by a recorded instrument that confers the trustee's powers and duties. The two essential instruments are the deeds conveying property into the trust and the land trust agreement.
