We currently represent a number of local government entities. Darol Carr has served as general counsel to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office since 1993 serving 4 different Sheriffs. Mr. Carr also serves as general counsel to the Charlotte County Supervisor of Elections and litigation counsel to the East Charlotte Drainage District.

In 2006, the firm was instrumental in the state-local, public-private transaction that led to the purchase of Babcock Ranch. Approximately 75% of the ranch property became the state-owned Babcock Ranch Preserve. The transaction constituted the largest public acquisition of private lands in Florida history.
