Margery Golant has spent her career analyzing and solving legal problems for individuals, families, and businesses. Her work has spanned civil litigation and dispute resolution, consumer protection, real estate and title, business and contract matters, and estate and probate questions.

Her perspective comes from seeing problems from many sides. She has served as a judge, worked inside industry as Assistant General Counsel and Director of Title Services for a national company, and spent decades representing clients on the other side of large institutions. She was recognized as Consumer Protection Attorney of the Year by The Florida Bar’s Consumer Protection Law Committee, and was invited to testify before the United States House of Representatives.

Experience across different areas of law matters because sometimes the most important issue is the one that was not obvious at the beginning. A property question may involve contracts. A business decision may create litigation exposure. An estate decision may implicate property, family, creditors, or taxes.

First Move Law & Consulting puts that accumulated experience to work as practical primary legal counsel: understanding the situation, identifying the issues, and helping decide what to do next. Clarity, not panic. Strategy, not slogans.
