Bob Williams is “almost” a true Florida native. He moved to Florida at the age of 4 and has had sand in his shoes ever since. Bob grew up in Lake County, Florida and graduated from Leesburg High School in 1971. He has been married to Julie (a TRUE Florida native) for nearly 45 years. They have 3 children and 10 lovely grandchildren.
Bob returned to Lake County in 1978 to begin his law practice after graduating from Florida State University law school. In 1980, Bob and his law school buddy, CJ Smith, started their own firm in Tavares that was to become Williams, Smith & Summers. Bob’s roommate from Wake Forest, Gary Summers, joined the firm in 1983. Bob, CJ and Gary are all AV Rated Martindale-Hubbell attorneys.
Bob did primarily trial work until 1994 when he developed the firm’s first real estate closing and transaction department. Bob and the firm represented a number of real estate development concerns and Bob and the title department have handled thousands of residential, commercial and loan transactions. Donna, Cricket and Cindy helped develop the real estate department and became one of the best real estate teams in the area.
Bob became the City Attorney for Tavares in 1984 and still serves in that capacity. Keying off of Tavares’ branding as “America’s Seaplane City,” Bob formed Seaplane Title, LLC in 2019, to provide continuity for his loyal team of title professionals. Bob serves as counsel to Seaplane Title and limits his law practice to his city attorney work and real estate transactions.
Stop by to share a cup of coffee with Bob and meet Cindy, Cricket, Donna, Christi, Shannon and the rest of the Seaplane Title Crew. We would love to help you with your real estate closing.
