Richard Charles Mills III
I was born and raised in Gainesville, FL and am also a triple gator (B.A., J.D., and LL.M.). While pursuing my J.D. at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, I was president of: Tax Moot Court, the Association for Tax Law, and VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance). As a part of Tax Moot Court, I took part in multiple competitions including an international tax law competition in Leuven, Belgium, where I competed against more than ten different countries (a "Tax Olympics"), and also a Securities and Exchange alternative dispute resolution competition at St. John's Law School in NYC.
After I earned my J.D. in 2017, I passed the Florida Bar exam and thereafter immediately began furthering my passion for tax law by attending the Graduate Tax Program and the University of Florida Levin College of Law. After earning my Masters in Tax Law in 2018, I worked at a local boutique law firm, White & Crouch, P.A., where I focused a large part of my practice on estate planning. That focus in estate planning grew to more areas of practice such as business succession planning, tax law, estate and trust administration, and estate and trust litigation. As a result of my desire to serve my clients in a wider array of legal fields, I joined a larger firm.
During my free time, I enjoy coaching my son's sports teams, paddle boarding, spending time with my family, and watching anything involving Florida Gator sports. From volunteer coaching my son's sports teams to drafting estate planning documents, I am proud to serve this town and its citizens.
