Leland E. Garvin

Leland Eric Garvin is a second generation trial attorney who is remains committed to the representation of the injured or those grieving after the loss of a loved one. Before becoming the well established litigator he is today, Mr. Garvin began his legal career working as a State Prosecutor. While at the State Attorney’s office, he gained invaluable trial experience representing the State of Florida in countless jury trials at both the misdemeanor and felony levels.

Prior to taking the job with the State, and throughout law school, Mr. Garvin worked for a large and well respected personal injury law firm. When he wasn’t handling injury and auto accident cases as a law clerk; he made time for the Moot Court Honor Society. It was during his time with Moot Court that he developed a love for the courtroom and passionate advocacy.

After leaving his job as a prosecutor, Mr. Garvin started his own firm handling both criminal defense and injury cases. He and his father Jeff later decided to combine their two practices in an effort to better serve the needs of their clients at Garvin Injury Law.

In 2009, Leland was selected as “one of the best up and coming attorneys” in the state of Florida by Florida Trend Magazine and listed in the 2009 edition of Strathmore’s Who’s Who.

In 2010, Mr. Garvin was named by Florida Super Lawyers magazine as one of the Top Young Lawyers in Florida. Only 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by Super Lawyers for this list. He has remained on this list each year since 2010.

Leland was first selected as one of the top 40 lawyers under the age of 40 in Florida by The National Trial Lawyers Association in 2012.

He is a founding Board of Directors of Captains for Clean Water in addition to being a founding member and current Vice President of the Southwest Florida Trial Lawyers Association.

Leland has served on the Florida Bar Grievance Committee in and for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit as well as the Florida Bar Standing Committee on Advertising.

Leland is a member of American Association for Justice, the Florida Justice Association, the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, the Lee County Bar Association among many other distinguished legal communities. He concentrates his practice in the areas of personal injury and wrongful death litigation.

He is admitted to the Florida Bar, the Colorado Bar, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida and the Middle District of Florida.

In addition to being taught how to be a lawyer; his father Jeff, also taught him how to ski. Their love of winter sports, ultimately led to the family purchasing a home in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. While on a ski trip, Leland was blessed with the opportunity to meet his future wife Heidi, a resident of Steamboat Springs who was working at the lift ticket office for the ski resort. What started as a vacation destination has now become a second home. As his time spent in Colorado increased, it became clear to Leland that residents of Colorado deserved the same level of dedicated and aggressive legal services that his firm had been consistently delivering to Florida residents.

In his spare time, Leland enjoys fishing, boating, hiking, skiing and working on homes and vehicles, as well as traveling and spending time with his growing family.
