About Linda M
Linda M Kaplan trained first as an economist and later as a lawyer. She earned a B.A. in economics from the University of Florida, pursued finance studies at Florida International University, took a J.D. at the University of Florida School of Law and completed an LL.M. in taxation at New York University School of Law. The sequence of studies gave her technical grounding in numbers, markets and tax rules.
Early in her career she worked outside the law, serving as a corporate officer at Southeast First National Bank in 1970. That experience exposed her to banking operations and corporate decision-making. It also informed the practical questions she would later address as a lawyer: how tax rules affect corporate choices, and how finance and regulation interact in everyday business.
After finishing her legal education she moved into practice. Over time her background in economics and finance combined with specialized tax training to shape the kinds of matters she handles. Colleagues describe her approach as methodical. She weighs statutory language, relevant regulations and the client’s commercial context.
She maintains membership in The Florida Bar and practices under her own firm name, Linda M Kaplan, P.A. That status signals ongoing involvement in the state’s legal community and adherence to professional obligations. While she has not been listed here as holding public bar office roles, her active membership keeps her connected to state rules and continuing education in the profession.
Clients coming to her can expect counsel informed by both business and tax perspectives. She handles questions that touch on corporate structure, tax consequences and compliance matters. The combination of time in banking and formal tax study shapes how she frames options and outlines potential outcomes.
Her day-to-day practice operates from her own small firm. She works with individuals and businesses on tax and corporate matters, offering advice on transactions, reporting and compliance. She now practices tax and corporate law at Linda M Kaplan, P.A., concentrating on tax and corporate matters.
