FIRM QUALIFI CATIONS
THE BENEFIT OF EXPERIENCE DEVELOPED AT TWO OF THE NATION'S BEST AND LARGEST LAW
FIRMS COMBINED WITH 1 0 YEARS OF REPRESENTING MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS
My goal is to bring every client the benefit of experience developed at two of the nation's best and largest law
firms - McGuireWoods and King& Spalding - with the personal attention you can only get from a small
practice. We deliver the legal sophistication gained from working in a big firm environment for some of the
world's largest corporations like the Coca-Cola Company, General Motors, Eli Lilly &Company, Novartis
Pharmaceuticals, and 3M combined with individual, personalized attention.
QUALITY OF LEGAL SERVICES:
Practicing at the best firms and working for the most demanding clients in the world puts an attention to
quality in our work that most lawyers never have the opportunity or need to develop.
SERVICE AS TOWN ATTORNEY FOR TWO MUNICIPALITIES & OTHER GOVERNMENTAL
EXPERIENCE:
Jeb Branham has the honor and benefit of working as the Town Attorney for Callahan for 17 years and as the
Town Attorney for Baldwin for 15 years. The Ocean Highway and Port Authority, Nassau County recently
retained Mr. Branham as its counsel. Mr. Branham previously served as Atlantic Beach's special magistrate for
dangerous dog proceedings. There are few attorneys in the area with this experience handling the legal
matters unique to municipalities and government, combined with sophisticated. broad-based litigation
expertise.
My service as a town attorney includes the responsibility for prosecuting code enforcement violations,
handling all land use and zoning matters and the conduct of quasi-judicial proceedings. I have conducted
dozens of quasi-judicial proceedings, including numerous rezonings, annexations, and comprehensive plan
amendments. During my tenure, the Town of Callahan had a zoning matter proceed to Fla. Stat. s. 70.51
special magistrate proceedings and a subsequent appeal to the Circuit Court. The Circuit Court upheld the
Town's decision. On occasion, I represent private clients in land use and code enforcement matters. both
before city councils, in the state trial courts, and on appeal.
As the attorney for two Towns, I understand the importance of maintaining a thorough knowledge of and
ensuring full compliance with state public records, public meetings, and ethics laws. Drafting legislation and
regularly conducting hearings in which a municipality renders judgments affecting citizens' rights has given me
the experience necessary to effectively balance the sometimes competing interests of the government,
individuals, property owners, neighbors, and the citizenry as a whole.
