Biography

Spiro’s professional background includes estate planning and probate, elder law, corporate and business law, real estate and closings, intellectual property, civil litigation of all types, with wide experience in admiralty and environmental law, serious personal injury and probate litigation. He has handled class actions, consumer protection, and privacy matters, and was the first attorney to sue Microsoft in the In Re Microsoft Consumer Antitrust Litigation. He has also pursued claims against major financial institutions on behalf of defrauded customers, and he has tirelessly championed civil rights suits.

A native of Tarpon Springs, Florida, Spiro was formerly a partner at Jones, Verras & Freiberg, a New Orleans-based multistate law firm. After returning to the Tampa Bay area, Spiro served as a partner at the Bilirakis Law Group and was also a co-founder of the groundbreaking Unthink social media project, which sought to empower individuals and provide comprehensive privacy and ownership rights. Throughout his career, Spiro has been a zealous advocate for his clients, and he brings the same passion to his estate planning and transactional work.

Spiro’s current practice focuses on estate planning, probate, and trusts, elder law, guardianships, and corporate and commercial transactions. Practicing in a small firm setting for the first time in his career, he has leveraged state-of-the-art technology to create a relaxed office environment with the capabilities of a large firm. Spiro has carefully selected a team that shares his commitment to understanding every client’s concerns and giving each client personalized attention and care.
