About Mary
Mary King combines legal training and business education in a practice that reaches both state and federal forums. She earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Florida in 1988, an MBA from Wake Forest University in 1990, and a J.D. from Stetson University College of Law in 1993. Those degrees shape how she approaches complex disputes and client counseling.
Her career centers on private practice. She is the lawyer at the Law Office of Mary E. King, P.L. Over the years she has qualified to appear in several federal venues. Her admitted jurisdictions include the State of Florida, the United States Tax Court, the Federal Circuit, and the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Her work involves matters that arise in federal tax proceedings and related federal litigation. She represents clients in proceedings before the Tax Court and files appeals when cases proceed to the Federal Circuit. She also handles cases that require litigation in the Middle District of Florida. Her approach is direct. She prepares pleadings, argues motions, and participates in hearings and appeals as required by the matter.
King maintains active engagement with the local and statewide legal communities. She is a member of the Sarasota County Bar Association and also holds membership in the Florida Association for Women Lawyers. Those affiliations keep her connected to peers and to continuing legal education offerings, which she relies on to stay current on procedural and substantive developments.
Her business training informs how she evaluates disputes and client options. The MBA background gives her additional perspective on financial issues, which can be useful in tax disputes and in advising small business owners. Colleagues note that the combination of tax litigation experience and business education often aids in framing legal questions in economic terms.
She practices from the Law Office of Mary E. King, P.L., where she litigates federal tax matters and handles related litigation in federal court. She continues to represent clients in the United States Tax Court, the Federal Circuit, the Middle District of Florida, and in matters that require coordination with state-level counsel on Florida issues.
