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
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
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.

G1 LicensureNot published by FLFlorida does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
G2 DisciplineNo 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.
G3 Entity & officeNo answer in the recordNo matching active entity in the Florida corporate register. Florida does not require a sole proprietorship or a general partnership to register, so this is a check we could not complete from this source rather than evidence against the firm
