Legal Services Resume at the Senior Center

Richard M. Smith provided free legal services in the Senior Center for more than 20 years. After his passing in July, 2006, there have been several attorneys that occasionally provided these services.

On January 8, 2007 Jason David Winn began providing free legal services to the senior citizens in the Senior Center. He is scheduled to be available in the center on the second Monday of each month in 2007.

Jason earned his law degree in 2000. His work experience began on Capital Hill where he served as an intern and legislative assistant for Senator Bob Graham and others. He later moved on to work with Senator Bob Dole on his 1996 presidential campaign. Following his time in Washington, D.C., Jason gained extensive trail work as an Assistant Public Defender in the Central Florida area. He spent more than three years representing those in need of assistance with criminal trial work.

After his return to Tallahassee in 2004, Jason worked for the law firm of Clyde M. Taylor, Jr. and eventually opened his own practice in 2006. He has since expanded his services to include civil law matters, family law, wills and trusts.

He is a member of the Florida Bar, Tallahassee Bar, Legal Services of North Florida, a lifetime member of the state FACDL, and vice-president of the local FACDL chapter.
