Biography

Originally from Columbia, Missouri, Rodney Gerling is the firm’s Estate Planning, Probate, and Trust Administration Attorney. He attended law school at Quinnipiac University School of Law in Hamden, Connecticut. He has been admitted to the Florida Bar and the Federal Bar. Rodney is also a member of the Manatee County and Sarasota County Bar Associations in addition to the Manatee Chamber of Commerce. Rodney was named as a Florida Super Lawyer in 2015 through 2024 in Super Lawyers Magazine. He began his legal career at the Sarasota County Public Defender’s Office where he handled thousands of cases, served as Lead Attorney on over 50 Jury Trials, and became familiar with the local Judges and State Attorneys. He has parlayed that experience into a winning record as a defense attorney. As a staunch advocate for individual rights, Rodney firmly believes that every American should be afforded the right to an attorney.
