In my opinion, the legal field has lost one of its most valuable terms to describe those who practice in it: Counselor. While most in the practice of law go by attorney or lawyer, I will always prefer to go by Counselor. This preference has nothing to do with a legal status or a desire to buck the norm, rather, this preference has everything to do with what I believe the practice of law really is. In my eyes, the practice of law has been, and always will be, more than just rules, statutes, and cases. I see the practice of law as an opportunity to counsel my clients through their time of need; an opportunity to utilize my knowledge and experience, in conjunction with the skills I learned in law school, to better the life of someone else.
Clients are the backbone of the practice of law. Small businesses and individuals who have been wronged in some way and are seeking counsel from someone who understands the language, procedures, and pomp and circumstance of legal proceedings. This firm believes that a person or business should be able to find legal counsel who not only will walk them through their legal problems, but will also take interest in the future success of that person or business in the years to come. This firm believes that a person or business should be able to find legal counsel with whom they can share their struggles and find all around counsel as to that problem and any others which may be directly or indirectly related. This firm believes that a person or business should be able to find legal counsel with whom they can share all of their issues in a friendly and comfortable environment. This firm believes in providing this type of legal counsel, because this firm is made up of Counselors. Counselors who entered the legal field for one reason only: to help those in need.
Kevin A. Lonzo was born in Carmel, Indiana. He received his Bachelors Degree from Indiana University. After graduation, Mr. Lonzo moved to Florida for sunshine and warmth. He worked as a Medical Sales Representative while attending Stetson University College of Law where he received his Juris Doctorate magna cum laude. At Stetson, Mr. Lonzo was on the Stetson Law Review where he served as an Associate and Notes and Comments Editor. During his tenure at Stetson he also served as a member of the Part-Time Task Force and as the Part-Time Deputy Chief for the Stetson Ambassadors. Mr. Lonzo was the recipient of the Dean’s Award, the Carey and Leisure Torts Book Award, and the Victor O. Wehle award for excellence in trial advocacy.
After graduating from Stetson Law School in 2014, Mr. Lonzo began his career working at the Second District Court of Appeal in Florida. He joined Beytin, McLaughlin, McLaughlin, O’Hara, Bocchino, and Bolin in 2016. His practice is focused mainly on premises liability and medical malpractice litigation. Mr. Lonzo is currently a member of the Florida Bar Association, the Hillsborough Bar Association, the Saint Petersburg Bar Association, and American Bar Association.
“Mr. Lonzo was referred to me by another attorney who could not handle my complicated case. Mr. Lonzo was the 3rd attorney I’d had on my civil case in the past 4.5 years. Within 2.5 hours, he had managed to accomplish what the prior 2 attorneys could not or would not do and had my case settled out of court within two days without going to trial.
Mr. Lonzo has a “heart” for justice like I’ve not seen in any prior attorney I’ve worked with in several years of family litigation and civil litigation.
Highly recommended.”
“We have worked with Mr. Lonzo for years and he has proven to be very versatile in his ability to handle anything from contracts, partnerships, to liability issues for us at Creative Works. Work is always done quickly, with our best interests in mind.”
I’ve owned businesses for 23 years, so I’ve worked with a lot of lawyers through the years. Mr. Lonzo is by far the most responsive, kind, and helpful of any of the attorneys I’ve ever hired. His communication is outstanding, he willingly works extra hours to accommodate deadlines in other time zones, and he’s all around a pleasure to do business with. I initially hired him to create new waivers for our Family Entertainment Centers, then he quickly transitioned to writing contracts for us and negotiating leases, as well as many other aspects of opening a new location. I trust him completely to guide us with our 7 businesses, and he has proven to be an excellent and extremely knowledgeable asset to our team.
We’ve been working with Lonzo Law for almost a year on legal needs regarding our family entertainment startup. We found him based on a recommendation from a veteran in the family entertainment industry. Kevin has been professional and receptive to all our needs throughout this process! Thanks, Kevin!
No matter if it is morning, noon, or night; holiday or weekend; you can always reach out to Lonzo Law and expect to hear from a licensed legal counselor within the next twelve hours.
