History
Established in 2013.
In 2013, Debbie Faulkner founded The Faulkner Firm, P.A. in her hometown of Palm Harbor with just herself and a paralegal. She focused on estate planning, probate, and start-up business consulting. The firm grew out of its original location within a year and Debbie hired two more staff to handle the growth.
In 2016, Robert C. Burke Jr. merged his firm into The Faulkner Firm, P.A. to create "Burke Faulkner Law, P.A." The firm once again grew out of its location and relocated to Oldsmar in July 2018. With seven employees and continuous word-of-mouth growth, Burke Faulkner Law, P.A. serves as the culmination of a lifelong dream of founder Debbie Faulkner to share daily her passion for business and helping others.
