Providing skilled, experienced legal help at the least expensive level necessary
Nearly 50 years of experience guiding families and business owners through wills, trusts, probate, and business law.
Harley Herman’s path to law started with numbers. He earned a degree in accounting from the University of South Florida before continuing his education at the University of Florida College of Law, graduating in 1977 with his Juris Doctor.
That accounting background still shapes how he practices today. As an estate planning attorney and small business attorney, Harley approaches wills, trusts, and business formation with a financial eye that many lawyers simply don’t have.
After years of practicing law across Florida, Harley opened the Law Office of Herman and Herman in Plant City. He built the firm around a simple idea: clients deserve a lawyer who understands both the legal and financial sides of their goals. Harley founded the firm to give Plant City clients skilled, personal legal help close to home.
The mission of the Law Office of Herman and Herman is straightforward. Every client’s needs and interests come first, and every recommendation aims to solve today’s legal issue without overcomplicating tomorrow’s plans.
