Ten Lawyers Now Cover Diversified Fields
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Yesner & Boss, a Tampa Bay law firm with a focus on personal and commercial bankruptcies, foreclosures and short sales, has added three lawyers to bolster its real estate and its family law practices.
Shawn Yesner and Christopher Boss, partners in Yesner & Boss, P.L. (http://www.YesnerBoss.com), announced the addition of Matthew Kindel, a former Polk County prosecutor, who will work on family law cases out of the firm's New Tampa office. The firm also hired Matt Kramer to work on real estate cases out of the St. Petersburg headquarters. And Jackie Meeker will join the Sarasota office to expand the staff working on real estate closings, consumer protection and tax work.
While a district attorney in the 10th Judicial Circuit, Kindel prosecuted or negotiated more than 1,000 criminal cases that included such charges as attempted murder and armed kidnapping, as well as white-collar crimes. Kindel received a degree in political science from Florida Southern College and a law degree from Florida Coastal School of Law.
Kramer has a degree in business real estate from Florida State University and a law degree from Stetson University College of Law. Meeker received a degree in Legal Studies from the University of Central Florida and a law degree from Stetson.
Florida continues to be one of the states hardest-hit by the three-year real estate crisis. With nearly 20,000 foreclosed housing units, one in every 450 homes has foreclosure actions pending, according to RealtyTrak, which surveys foreclosures nationally. This total does not include foreclosures that have resold or distressed properties headed for foreclosure. Within Florida, the Tampa Bay area remains among foreclosure leaders.
"The real estate crisis shows little sign of abating, and no one can predict how long it will last," said Yesner. "The emotional and financial strains caused by unemployment and the housing uncertainties put huge strains on marriages and families, and we need to deal with these problems as a whole, which is one of the reasons we continue diversifying."
The firm's family practice includes child support and custody, alimony, distribution of assets and liabilities and uncontested divorce.
