Lutz Bobo & Telfair

What Lutz Bobo & Telfair does

Lutz, Bobo & Telfair, P.A. is a Florida-based boutique law firm operating two distinct practice pillars from seven office locations across the state. Founded in 1980 by J. Allen Bobo and Charles W. Telfair with headquarters in Sarasota, the firm fields a personal injury and medical malpractice trial practice representing individuals in catastrophic injury cases, and a mobile home and RV park law practice that has been Florida's dominant Chapter 723 counsel since the 1980s. Offices span Sarasota (headquarters), Venice, Englewood, Punta Gorda, Osprey, Tallahassee (focused on manufactured housing regulatory matters), and Bradenton. The firm carries an AV-Preeminent Martindale-Hubbell rating and fields twelve named attorneys across equity partners, founding partners, and of-counsel roles.

The firm generates revenue through two economic models: contingency-fee arrangements in personal injury matters (where clients owe no attorney's fees unless the firm secures a settlement or favorable verdict) and hourly or flat-fee arrangements in real estate, mobile home park, community association, and general civil matters. Core service offerings comprise 14 practice areas including auto accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall, mobile home park law, real estate transactions and litigation, community association governance, statutory compliance, contracts and transactions, licensing and permits, regulatory and administrative representation, tenant and resident relations, and circuit court mediation. Reported client outcomes include $3,785,000 in a medical malpractice settlement, a $1,469,116 trial verdict, an $800,000 motor vehicle accident settlement, and jury verdicts at approximately 18x initial insurance offers, with $100m+ in cumulative injury-claim recoveries claimed across the firm's history. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no software products, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities.

Go-to-market is sales-led and primarily referral-based with growing content marketing. The firm operates a website (lbtlaw.com) with educational blog content, accepts direct phone intake at 877-951-1800, and cultivates AVVO reviews and client testimonials. Customer segments are bifurcated: transactional personal injury clientele (individuals in one-off matters) on one side, and mobile home and RV park owners, operators, investors, and resident-owned communities on the other side, where the firm embeds as recurring counsel for Florida statutory compliance and transactions. The firm is an independent partnership with no disclosed external ownership, no private equity investment, no acquisitions, no funding rounds, and no technology acquisitions to date.

Broad incumbents

• Foley & Lardner LLP: Large full-service national law firm with major Florida offices and strong real estate, construction and community association practices. Broader portfolio competitor to Lutz Bobo's real estate and community association work, but not focused on PI or Chapter 723 niche.
• Akerman LLP: Among the largest Florida-based law firms with nationally recognized real estate, construction and litigation practices. Overlaps with Lutz Bobo on real estate transactions and litigation, but operates at a much broader scale across many practice areas.
• Carlton Fields: Major Florida-founded law firm with strong real estate, land use and community association capabilities. Comparable in real estate and community association work, but serves a much larger and more diversified client base than Lutz Bobo's niche boutique practice.
