About The Law Office of Douglas L. Rankin

The Law Office of Douglas L. Rankin works from Tamiami Trail North and is the only firm in this ranking that says anything about where client money goes: it publishes an escrow or trust account arrangement, which every firm doing this work has and almost none describes.

It names two stages of a transaction and no fee terms we could record. 18 reviews at 3.3, the lowest average here, across a listing small enough that a handful of reviews would move it.

What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it

No public discipline

No attorney this firm names appears as the respondent in any of the 1237 published discipline decisions of the Supreme Court of Florida on the discipline of Florida Bar members, 1946 to 2026. Published decisions record what has been decided, so this covers a disbarment or suspension on the record and not whether a registration is current today.

Real Estate

The firm’s people the firm names its people without saying who among them practises law · 5 more people are named by the firm without a role, so we do not call them attorneys

Also named by the firm

The firm lists these people among its team and prints no role beside the names, so we do not describe them as attorneys.
