Many problems necessitate immediate action and resolution requiring an attorney who is proactive and expedient in helping a client find solutions. An attorney must provide viable options for their client's consideration and, once the path is chosen, successfully advocate the client's position. We at Persson, Cohen & Mooney have been doing this since 1997. We have focused our practice on helping governmental entities, community associations and private citizens navigate the problems and pressures that we are faced with today. We do that as both general and special counsel, helping our clients cost-effectively address needs ranging from specific assignments to matters of general counsel responsibility, from Pasco County to Lee County and all points in between.
