About Jeffrey D.
Jeffrey D. Harper earned his Juris Doctor from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2020 after completing an MBA at Liberty University in 2014 and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the University of Florida in 2012. His academic path combined law and business studies, and it set the stage for work that crosses corporate and dispute-resolution lines. He remained in Florida after law school and built his practice around state licensure and local legal institutions.
His early post-law-school work took him into the corporate legal world. In 2020 he served as Vice President and Associate General Counsel at Paul Davis Restoration, Inc., where he handled in-house legal responsibilities that included contract review, risk management, and corporate compliance. That role put him inside day-to-day business decisions and gave him direct experience advising operations and management on legal matters tied to a national restoration company.
In 2021 he launched The Law Office of Jeffrey D. Harper, PLLC. The firm is listed under his name and reflects a shift from in-house counsel back to private practice. He maintains an active membership in The Florida Bar and continues to practice under Florida jurisdiction. The move to private practice allowed him to draw on corporate experience while taking on a broader slate of client work in the state.
Harper holds certification as a Circuit Civil Mediator from the Florida Supreme Court and is a Notary for the State of Florida. The mediator credential signals formal training in civil dispute resolution and courtroom-adjacent dispute settlement. Those qualifications inform how he approaches client matters, whether in negotiations, settlements, or formal filings.
Colleagues and clients describe him as methodical and pragmatic. He tends to break complex matters into discrete issues. He favors clear written analysis and direct communication. Those habits reflect his business training as much as his legal education. In practice he balances attention to transactional detail with efforts to resolve disputes without prolonged litigation when circumstances allow.
He handles matters arising in Florida and draws on experience from both roles in private practice and in-house counsel work. He practices as an attorney and mediator in state courts and in alternative dispute forums. He currently concentrates his practice on civil matters and business-related legal work in Florida.
