About Joseph Raymond
Joseph Raymond Schwantes is a lawyer certified to practice in Florida. He presents a quiet, continuous presence in the courtroom and the workplace. Colleagues describe him as methodical and careful. He blends a disciplined educational background with practical legal work in the state where he trained.
He finished his undergraduate studies at the University of Miami, earning a B.A. in International Studies in 2006. He stayed on the same college for law program and acquired his J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law in 2009. Those years in Miami formed his view of regulation as a craft that relies upon on attention to detail and an ability to examine complex facts and documents.
After law school Mr. Schwantes started his legal career in Florida. He has treated things that require both court preparation and detailed legal research. His international research background informs the way he strategies cases that contain cross-border elements or multicultural facts, although the bulk of his work arises beneath state regulation. He is understood for steady preparation and a choice for clarity in written work and argument.
People who have worked with him note a realistic style. He tends to interrupt issues into parts and tackle them in sequence. That strategy shows in pleadings, client advisals and trial documents. He has experience interacting with opposing counsel, courtroom staff and adjudicators throughout the state, and he adapts to the procedural demands of Florida’s courts. He emphasizes jargon-free explanations for clients and cautious documentation of legal positions.
Outside of case work he maintains ties to his alma mater and the legal network in Miami and elsewhere in Florida. He follows developments in state regulation closely and integrates those modifications into client strategies. He is licensed in Florida and keeps a tradition within the state. He currently concentrates his practice on things arising beneath Florida law.
