After working at three large, hierarchical firms, Evan Berlin fulfilled his dream of starting a real estate law firm in Florida that challenges the ordinary and provides personalized service. With just himself and, eventually, two paralegals, Berlin Law Firm was born.
A prominent land use and zoning attorney who served as legal counsel to the Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners, Brenda Patten, became a named partner. Our firm evolved into a new brand, Berlin Patten PLLC.
We opened our second Berlin, Patten, Ebling branch on Venice Island. Our first office space in Venice was a quaint space located just below a popular pub. Sometimes just after 4 o’clock you could actually smell the beer through the ceiling. We have since graduated into a beautiful, larger space located just across the street that we had custom designed, without the beer funk.
We began to set our sights towards the north and opened up shop for our third location in Lakewood Ranch. Conveniently located on Lakewood Main Street, this office, fortunately, sits directly above a fine soap shop with a much better aroma.
Although a partner at Berlin Patten since 2009, Jamie Ebling became a named partner in 2014. Our name, Berlin Patten Ebling PLLC, was not the only part of the firm growing. Our firm family nearly doubled in size employing over 20 professionals. Still to this day, we have not figured out how to include an “E” in our familiar logo.
Did you know: Jamie Ebling was drafted as a shortstop for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays prior to attending law school. He was even recognized in the Hall of Fame.
Outgrowing our former downtown Sarasota location, we traded the skyline view for a modern, custom tailored headquarters that we now call home base. Formerly an outdated bank building, the partners invested in a hidden gem centrally located on U.S. 41 and turned it into a progressive tech-savvy workspace with unique client amenities. We even had a demolition party during the renovation that turned out to be a great stress reliever for all of the staff setting the foundation for us to become one of the best Real Estate Law firms in Florida.
As our relationships grew and we continuously found ourselves on the end of transactions even further north, agents and developers would often say “We wish you had an office in Tampa.” It did not take long for their wish to be granted and our fourth location was established!
Will McComb, Esq. becomes Berlin Patten Ebling’s 3rd equity partner. Born and raised in Sarasota, Will joined the firm in 2014, after working in commercial litigation for several years. As a Sarasota native, with deep ties to the community, Will quickly grew his real estate practice in record fashion.
A few years removed from opening the Tampa location, we once again set our sites across the bridge, but this time in St. Petersburg. Our fifth location, a state of the art remodel is centrally located in the heart of downtown.
Berlin Patten Ebling was pleased to welcome Andrew Conaboy, Natasha Selvaraj, and Daniel Guarnieri as firm partners in 2022. These three excel at the practice of law and embrace the culture of excellence, teamwork, and collegiality that sets Berlin Patten Ebling apart from other firms in the area.
We established our sixth location in Bonita Springs. Conveniently located between Naples and Fort Myers, this office has allowed us to expand our services to clients and agents in southern Florida.
What began as a small firm with just three members has expanded into six offices across the west coast of Florida with almost 100 employees. But of course, we are who we are today due to the continued support and dedication of our clients, agents, and employees.
Berlin Patten Ebling is pleased to welcome Mallory Bauer and Mark C. Mann as firm partners in 2023. These two have proven themselves to be trusted advisors in their roles and leaders with the Firm.
