Education: Stetson University College of Law - Stetson University

Jurisdictions: Florida - Admitted in 1991 (18 years)

Mr. Gufford has been a member of The Florida Bar since 1991. The Gufford Law Firm opened our doors with a commitment to provide exceptional client services that remain focused on results. We bring together attorneys and staff with more than 34 years of combined experience. At the Gufford Law Firm, we believe that both our attorneys and our staff must be knowledgeable about the specific areas of law that we practice in. That is why we ensure that each of our attorneys and staff members are constantly taking Continuing Legal Education courses so that we are up to date on the latest developments in the law. Mr. Gufford has also been a lecturer on recent legal developments to other members of the legal community.

Additionally, not only are the attorneys familiar with Courtroom procedures and local judges but staff members are as well, as they frequently assist Mr. Gufford at trial. When Mr. Gufford has a trial or a complex hearing, the paralegal assigned to your matter will also be present. This allows Mr. Gufford to focus on the judge and his presentation in the Courtroom as opposed to fumbling about for exhibits or case law.

In each and every case involving a trial, Mr. Gufford and his staff will prepare a trial notebook and a trial outline, that frequently becomes the guidebook for the trial. Not only is the trial notebook/outline helpful for the attorney but it frequently sets the pace and order of presentation of the evidence. The mere preparation of the trial notebook/outline forces the attorney and his staff to focus in on key issues long before the trial of the case. Ultimately, this process frequently results in a smoother and more precise presentation of the evidence.

Jurisdictions: Florida - Admitted in 1998 (11 years)

Jason Gonzalez (born September 30, 1973) currently serves as General Counsel to Florida Governor Charlie Crist. [1] He was the chief advisor to Governor Crist on the appointment of four of the seven Justices currently serving on the Florida Supreme Court.

Jason Gonzalez was born in Tallahassee, Florida, the son of Larry Gonzalez (former Secretary of the Florida Department of Professional Regulations and Director of the Florida Commission on Ethics) and Jean Gonzalez. A seventh generation Floridian, Gonzalez is the great-great-grandson of Captain Manuel Gonzalez, who founded the City of Ft. Myers, Florida in 1866,[2] and the great-great-great-great-grandson of Evander Lee, who founded the City of Leesburg, Florida in 1857.[3] Gonzalez attended the University of Florida where he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration and a Juris Doctorate degree. He became an attorney and Florida Bar member in 1998. While in law school, he married his high school sweetheart Sara Hicks Gonzalez. Jason and Sara are the parents of three boys.

Legal Career

Following law school Gonzalez joined the Tallahassee firm of Ausley & McMullen, P.A. as an associate attorney. His practice consisted of trial and appellate litigation. He was named a shareholder in the Firm in 2003. Gonzalez served as special counsel to the Bush/Cheney 2004 Campaign. In 2006 he was named General Counsel to the Republican Party of Florida by Chairman Jim Greer. As General Counsel, Gonzalez served as chief lawyer and member of the Executive Board of the Republican Party. In 2007 Governor Charlie Crist appointed Gonzalez to the State Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Florida as an at-large member. Gonzalez served as President of the Tallahassee Chapter of the Federalist Society, a conservative law and public policy organization. In 2005-2006, Gonzalez represented the Institute for Justice before the Florida Supreme Court in the Bush v. Holmescase that considered the constitutionality of Florida's school voucher program.

Public Service

Judicial Nominating Commissions

In 2001 Gonzalez was appointed by Governor Jeb Bush to the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Second Circuit and served as Chairman of the Commission in 2003. In 2004 Governor Bush appointed Jason to the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Florida First District Court of Appeal, which he chaired in 2006. In 2007 Governor Charlie Crist appointed Gonzalez to the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Florida Supreme Court.

Throughout his service on the Judicial Nominating Commissions, Gonzalez was known as a staunch advocate of judicial restraint. In an article published in 2006, Gonzalez wrote that judges should follow an "originalist-textualist" approach in applying the law. [4] According to Gonzalez, Courts should faithfully apply the text of our Constitution and Statutes, interpreting the meaning of the text based on the common usage of the words at the time of enactment. [5] He uses the infamous case of Plessy v. Ferguson, establishing the separate but equal doctrine, as an example of harmful judicial activism where the Court departed from plain text of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. [6]

General Counsel to Governor Charlie Crist

Jason Gonzalez was appointed General Counsel to Florida Governor Charlie Crist in 2008. As General Counsel he is the chief advisor to the Governor on all legal matters and serves as the Governor’s Chief Ethics Officer and chief advisor on judicial appointments. In 2008-2009 Gonzalez was the chief advisor to Governor Crist on the appointments of four Florida Supreme Court Justices: Justice Charles Canady; Justice Ricky Polston; Justice Jorge Labarga; and Justice James Perry. The four appointments marked the first time in Florida history that a Governor appointed a majority of the Court in less than a year.[7]
