Firm News: Sam Watford Joins Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster, Gwartney & Hobbs P.A.

November 2024 – Tallahassee, FL – Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster, Gwartney & Hobbs P.A. proudly welcomes Sam Watford, as a dedicated civil litigation attorney. With a focus on nursing and group home negligence, personal injury, and employment law, Mr. Watford represents individuals and businesses across Tallahassee and the Florida Panhandle.

A true Tallahassee native, Mr. Watford’s commitment to justice runs deep within the community he calls home. Starting as an intern, he grew up both in Tallahassee and within the firm, establishing himself as more than an attorney—he is a protégé shaped by Brooks LeBoeuf’s legacy.

Graduating cum laude from Florida State University with a degree in finance in 2019, Mr. Watford went on to distinguish himself at the Florida State University College of Law in 2022. As editor of the Business Law Review, recipient of the Distinguished Pro Bono Service Award, and achiever of a book award in Advanced Legal Research, his potential became clear early on.

Following his admission to the Florida Bar, Mr. Watford formally joined Brooks LeBoeuf, where he quickly gained recognition in personal injury and employment law. His impact extended to the firm’s landlord-tenant practice, where he successfully represented property owners statewide. Today, his practice focuses on complex litigation, with a particular dedication to advocating for victims of nursing and group home negligence.

Mr. Watford actively participates in the Florida Justice Association, the Capital City Justice Association, and the Young Lawyers Division of the Florida Bar, with admission to Florida state courts and the Northern District of Florida.

“Sam has shown remarkable dedication and skill within his practice areas, and we are honored to have him as part of our team,” said Ryan Hobbs, Shareholder. “He embodies our commitment to justice and the rights of our clients.”

In his free time, Mr. Watford enjoys playing tennis, supporting the Florida State Seminoles, and spending time at the beach with his wife, Elizabeth, and their two dogs, Cooper and Thor.
