Firm: Family First Firm

1901 West Colonial Drive , Orlando , Florida 32804

Practice Areas: Estate Planning

My name is Geoff Hoatson and I’m the founder of the Family First Firm. I grew up in Central Florida surrounded by all my extended family. Both of my grandfathers were veterans of World War II and my paternal grandfather received the Purple Heart and Silver Star from Fleet Admiral Nimitz for his heroism as a medic on the Pacific Front. I gained a deep respect for our service members and my elders, while listening to them recount their time in the service. I knew that I wanted to help these people I admired so much. Unfortunately, over the years, both grandfathers ended up with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. My paternal grandfather was able to be qualified for Medicaid and my maternal grandfather was able to receive benefits from the VA. To call these benefits a blessing is a massive understatement; they allowed both of my grandmothers to age in their homes with dignity.. Born and raised in the Orlando area, I attended a local high school and then the University of Central Florida. It wasn’t until I went to Emory University for law school that I left Central Florida for the very first time. However, that choice was an easy one, because Emory is ranked as one of the top law schools in the country and has one of the preeminent estate planning programs. After graduating from Emory, I returned to Orlando to marry my fiancée, start a family, and begin the practice of law.. In 2009, I decided to go out on my own and open the Family First Firm to help seniors and service members protect themselves, their families, and their legacies from the unique problems that our seniors face.  We are proud to have helped countless families achieve their goals and gain peace of mind. We would be honored to help you too.

I practice with professionalism, I'm detail oriented, and I place a premium on producing quality work in the goal of obtaining the positive results on behalf of the client, and keeping them informed all the way through..

Great Help With Your Estate Plan and Elder Law Concerns:. I was fortunate to grow up in Pinellas County with my father as a well-known and respected attorney and community leader. When I started thinking about my own career, my father told me that he loved going to work every day and helping his clients the best way he could. With my father’s encouragement, my own passion for helping others and my love of creative problem solving, I knew that practicing estate planning and elder law was the career path for me. You will know I love my work as clients love working with us as well!. My estate planning and elder law practice is more than just my profession – it is my life’s passion. I understand the difficult decisions that my clients face when they are planning their estates, when they are experiencing health issues, and the affect their decisions have on their children upon their death. With the knowledge and the desire to help with the best solutions possible, I know that my clients are getting an estate plan that they, and their family, can rely upon to make sure they are provided for, their family is protected, and their legacy lasts for as long as possible.. I have been practicing law for almost 20 years and have seen a number of changes to our estate planning world.  While estate taxes had been eliminated for many, I still saw problems occurring when a client died or became incapacitated. For years, I created my estate plans with a traditional “transaction” based mindset, where my clients paid for prepared documents and I provided them directions on how to “fund” their estate plan on their own. After seeing multiple problems occur with the “transaction” based mindset, I came to the conclusion that I should not just prepare a will or trust for my clients and expect the plan to work upon their death or incapacity.  The reality is that the estate plan that actually works is where the attorney and client follow a clear process to create and implement a personalized estate plan together.. I take pride in giving each client personal attention, practical advice, timely assistance, and clear communication based upon their individual situation. We will take our time in discussing you, your family, your desires and your assets before deciding how to best proceed. I speak in plain English and know that you will understand the issues you face and how best to answer your concerns. Together, we will develop and implement an estate plan that follows your desires, protects you and yours heirs, and provides you piece of mind.. In choosing your estate planning and elder law attorney, you need someone with integrity, someone with the passion to help, someone friendly, and someone who you can rely upon to make the best decisions possible.  I am certain you will find that working with me at DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A.. Professional Achievements of Rep DeLoach:. §  Board Certified Specialist in Elder Law by the Florida Bar Association. Rep is one of 98 attorneys Board Certified in Elder Law by the Florida Bar Association.. §  Author of 20 Ways to Protect your Estate in Florida.. §  Frequent lecturer to the public and other attorneys on estate planning and elder law issues.. §  Constant attendant of legal seminars to stay on top of the law and prevailing legal trends.. §  Member of Wealthcounsel, a national organization of professional estate planning attorneys.. §  Member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.. §  Member of the Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys.. §  Member of the Life Care Planning Law Firms Association.. §  Member of the Board of Directors of Empath Choices for Care, a local not-for profit devoted to end-of-life decisions.. §  Former Executive Board member of SPCA Tampa Bay.. §  Former Board member of the Seminole Chamber of Commerce.. §  Actually returns your phone calls and e-mails..
