About Geoffrey
Geoffrey Gilbert is an attorney admitted to practice in Florida and in the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida. He combines a mainland New England undergraduate education with legal training from South Florida. That mix of settings has shaped how he approaches matters in court.
He earned a J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law after completing a B.A. at the University of Rhode Island. Those academic credentials preceded his admission to the Florida Bar, where he holds current membership. The federal admissions allow him to appear in both Southern and Middle District courts in Florida.
Gilbert built his career in litigation and court work. He now serves as of counsel at Whittel & Melton, LLC. In that role he brings courtroom experience to a team that handles matters across state and federal forums. Colleagues describe him as steady in court and attentive at the planning table.
Throughout his time in practice he has worked on cases that required filings and appearances in Florida courts as well as in federal district court. He handles pretrial preparation, motions practice, and hearings in trial-level courts. Gilbert’s admissions to the federal districts in the southern and middle parts of the state mean he regularly navigates differing local rules and docket procedures.
Outside of litigation he maintains membership in The Florida Bar. That affiliation keeps him connected to professional standards, continuing legal education offerings, and state-level developments affecting practice. He participates in professional events and stays current on procedural changes that affect clients and counsel.
Clients and peers see him as an experienced courtroom lawyer who understands how state and federal processes differ. He is practiced at coordinating filings across multiple courts and aligning pretrial strategy with client goals. He is of counsel at Whittel & Melton, LLC, where he handles matters in Florida state courts and in the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida.
