Jesse L Skipper PA A/k/a Skipper Law

At Jesse L. Skipper, P.A., we pride ourselves on our extensive legal expertise, our commitment to our local and legal communities, and our dedication to providing exceptional service to our clients. As a native of St. Petersburg, Florida, our attorney has built a reputation for being a trusted and knowledgeable legal professional in the Tampa Bay area.

Practice Areas

Our law firm focuses on a variety of legal areas, including business law, business litigation, real estate litigation, employment law, whistleblower and retaliation law, general civil litigation, civil appeals, professional liability and regulation, and international law, business, and litigation. We understand that every case is unique and requires a tailored approach, which is why we are committed to providing personalized legal services to each of our clients.

Business Disputes

Business disputes can take many forms, and our attorney has devoted much of his over 25 years of law practice to mastering this complex body of law. Whether you are dealing with disputes with business partners, competitors, vendors, or former executives and employees, we are equipped to handle a wide range of claims, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, misrepresentation, non-compete agreement litigation, civil theft, tortious interference, and unfair and deceptive trade practices.

Real Estate Litigation

Real estate litigation often overlaps with business litigation and includes a variety of issues, such as sale contract disputes, building defect claims, lien litigation, disputes over sales commissions, property title defects, disputes between property co-owners, easement and land use disputes, and many other issues. Our attorney has the knowledge and experience to navigate these complex legal matters and provide effective solutions for our clients.

Employment Law

We also have a strong focus on employment law, representing both employees and employers. For employees, we aggressively represent individuals who have been harassed, wrongfully discharged, or not properly paid for their work. We handle employment claims on a contingency basis, meaning that you only pay attorney fees if the end result is favorable. We have a particular interest in retaliation law and have successfully handled numerous cases in this area.

For employers, we understand that defending employment claims requires thorough and aggressive representation, as well as great care and judgment in choosing which battles to fight. Our attorney is skilled at keeping the client's fundamental, long-term interests foremost when defending employment claims and has developed a strategy for defending overtime and minimum wages claims.

Whistleblower Representation

Federal and state law allow persons who blow the whistle on corporate wrongdoing to collect a portion of fines and damages recovered for the government. If you think your employer is breaking the law or committing fraud, contact us before you do anything else. The laws governing whistleblowers are extremely complex, and it is very easy to destroy a valid claim by doing the wrong thing.

Wide Geographical Reach

Although most of our cases are in the Tampa Bay area (Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Manatee counties), we regularly handle cases in state and federal courts in central and southwest Florida, including Polk, Orange, Osceola, Sarasota, Lee, Charlotte, and Collier counties. Depending on the circumstances, we also welcome statewide, national, and international cases.

Dedication to Local and Legal Communities

As a native of St. Petersburg, Florida, we are committed to our local community and to the legal profession in the area. We believe in providing exceptional legal services and building lasting relationships with our clients.
