St. Augustine’s Largest Full-Service Law Firm
With a team of 13 attorneys and more than 265 years of combined legal experience, St. Johns Law Group is the largest law firm in the St. Augustine Area and serves clients throughout Northeast Florida. We match each client with an attorney who focuses on the area of law they need, striving to make sure every matter is handled with skill and attention.
KNOWN FOR: St. Augustine’s Largest Law Group
Representing Clients Who Inspire Us
At St. Johns Law Group, some of the most meaningful cases we’ve handled involve representing other attorneys and their families.
When a fellow lawyer trusts you with their own legal matters—or those of their loved ones—it’s a powerful endorsement of your skill and integrity. I’ve been honored to represent other attorneys dozens of times. Those real estate transactions, litigation cases and appeals keep me motivated to maintain the highest professional standards.
We understand that for any client, legal challenges can be stressful and complicated. Our mission is to simplify the process, provide clear guidance, and deliver the best possible outcome.
The Most Rewarding Part of Practicing Law in St. Augustine
For me, the most rewarding moments come from “closing the deal” and seeing a case or transaction through to the finish line.
-
In real estate law, that means guiding clients from contract execution to closing—making sure the process is smooth, compliant, and beneficial.
-
In civil litigation, it means winning a verdict or settlement for a client who truly deserves it—whether that’s an underdog family fighting to keep their home or a large company recovering losses from fraud.
Our work is about protecting what matters most to our clients. Each success feels like a true accomplishment, not just for the firm but for the community we serve.
What Makes St. Johns Law Group Stand Out
We’re proud to be recognized as St. Augustine’s largest law firm, with:
13 Attorneys on staff
265+ Years of Combined Legal Experience
Full-Service Representation across Northeast Florida
Our depth of experience isn’t just about numbers—it’s about delivering specialized, highly skilled legal help in the practice areas our community needs most.
We serve clients throughout St. Johns, Duval, Clay, Flagler, and Putnam Counties, offering true local insight and connections that help us get results.
Our “Secret Sauce” for Legal Success
If you ask me what our “superpower” is, I’ll tell you it’s faith and family.
I strive to live a God-first life, and I rely heavily on the support of my wife, Araan Burnett, and the incredible people who work behind the scenes at our firm.
A law firm’s strength comes from its people—the attorneys, staff, paralegals, and families who make success possible. We’re proud to nurture a culture of respect, faith, and Dedicated & Responsive® client service.

At St. Johns Law Group, we believe in specialization. Each of our attorneys dedicates their practice to a specific field of law rather than taking a generalist approach.

We are committed to being Dedicated and Responsive®, offering:
-
Timely communication and client-centered service
-
Seamless collaboration among attorneys, mediators, title agents, and staff

Our Commitment to the Northeast Florida Community
My goal for St. Johns Law Group has always been to establish it as the largest law firm in St. Johns County—and maintain the highest professionalism.
But size alone isn’t our measure of success. Our impact on the community matters just as much.
We encourage each of our attorneys to engage passionately with local organizations and events. Whether it’s volunteering service hours, sponsoring local initiatives, or offering pro bono legal work, we believe in giving back.
As a firm, we support these efforts financially and through active participation, strengthening the community ties that make St. Augustine such a special place to live and work.
Why Choose St. Johns Law Group
Choosing the right lawyer matters—and so does choosing the right firm.
At St. Johns Law Group, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all lawyering. Instead, we match clients with attorneys who focus specifically on their type of case:
-
If you need a real estate lawyer in St. Augustine, you’ll work with someone who knows every aspect of Florida real estate law.
-
If you need a civil litigation attorney, you’ll get a lawyer with extensive trial experience.
-
If you need help with family law, personal injury, construction disputes, business formation, or probate, you’ll work with an attorney who specializes in that field.
The result? Focused expertise that delivers outcomes for our clients.
