Gonzalez, P.A. has never been a firm content to stand still. From its earliest days, the Florida-based practice has been driven by innovation and technology, pairing trial-ready advocacy with a business-minded approach designed to help clients reach\u2014and often exceed\u2014their goals. Its attorneys are known for delivering creative, effective legal counsel, custom-tailored to the realities of each case, while guiding clients through complex litigation with efficiency, collaboration, and a consistent record of favorable outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>That client-first philosophy remains the firm\u2019s anchor, even as Cobb &amp; Gonzalez enters a new phase of growth and evolution. Since the firm was last featured, significant changes have taken shape. One of the more significant of these is a leadership transition that reflects both maturity and forward momentum. Co-founder James Gonzalez has assumed the role of managing partner, a shift that underscores the firm\u2019s commitment to strategic expansion while preserving the culture and values that built its reputation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-245c3cd3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"245c3cd3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3074fa18\" data-id=\"3074fa18\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54045175 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"54045175\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<figure class=\"wp-caption\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/attorneyatlawmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cobb-gonazalez-683x1024.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-196685\" alt=\"cobb &amp; gonazalez\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1aa93b4c\" data-id=\"1aa93b4c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59e3677f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"59e3677f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Shifting Focus<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3fc103e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3fc103e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>For Chris Cobb, stepping away from the managing partner role is not a retreat, but a recalibration. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m retiring or slowing down,\u201d Cobb explains. \u201cRather, it\u2019s about shifting my focus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As an owner, he remains actively involved on the executive committee and continues to practice law, while directing more of his energy toward long-term expansion, which includes everything from the construction of a new headquarters or purchased office space to the exploration of satellite locations. \u201cIt will be a lot more about working on the business, not working in the business,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>For Gonzalez, the transition brings a broader, more strategic lens to his daily work. \u201cMy day-to-day responsibilities will involve fewer individual matters and far more responsibility for setting direction, removing obstacles, and making sure our lawyers and paralegals have what they need to do their best work,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a shift from being primarily a practitioner to being a steward of the firm\u2019s people, culture, and long-term strategy\u2014a responsibility that Chris and I both take very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFive years ago, most of my concerns were tactical\u2014case outcomes, deadlines, individual performance,\u201d Gonzalez continues. \u201cToday, I\u2019m more focused on sustainability: how we grow without losing the culture and judgment that made the firm successful in the first place. Scale introduces new risks like consistency, mentorship, and decision-making at speed. These risks require a different kind of vigilance than winning the motion that takes place later this week. Don\u2019t get me wrong, that is still very important, just different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the partners, changes signal not just growth, but intention\u2014a firm deliberately positioning itself for what comes next while remaining grounded in the principles that have fueled its success.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-705b821 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"705b821\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c6cad92\" data-id=\"2c6cad92\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-578bb27a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"578bb27a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Expansion Continues<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17c1f3a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"17c1f3a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>When previously featured, the firm had just moved into an expansive new office space. That was in 2020.

We\u2019ve won Best Places to Work five years in a row and have been recognized as the fastest growing companies over the past three years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cobb reflects on what he originally envisioned for the firm and how even those lofty goals have been exceeded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when James and I first started this firm I thought it would be cool if we could grow to 15 lawyers and maybe two offices,\u201d he says. \u201cIn that same time frame, we are now at 18 lawyers and two offices, and we\u2019ve won a ton of awards.

Podlucky, whose background is in insurance defense and general liability, was looking for something new\u2014an opportunity to help build something from the ground up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter meeting Amanda, I looked at James and said, \u2018How do we not open an Orlando office?\u2019\u201d Cobb recalls.<\/p>\n<p>Within a month, the Orlando office was up and running. Today, it is home to three attorneys and, like the firm\u2019s other locations, continues to grow. The firm is actively recruiting condominium, insurance defense, business litigation, and construction law attorneys to further round out the office which has the capacity for nine attorneys.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s our next real big push from a location standpoint,\u201d Cobb says. \u201cWe want to come into Orlando in a big way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even as expansion remains central to the firm\u2019s long-term strategy, Gonzalez emphasizes that growth has never meant sacrificing principle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudgment will always matter more than volume,\u201d he says. \u201cNo matter how large the firm becomes, we want clients to feel their matters are handled by lawyers who take ownership, exercise discretion, and understand the real-world consequences of every decision.

ADR fits naturally with who we are\u2014it allows us to bring experience, judgment, and practical problem-solving to the table in a different, often more efficient way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By investing in arbitration and mediation alongside its trial practice, the firm is reinforcing its commitment to giving clients multiple paths to resolution\u2014each guided by strategy, experience, and sound judgment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-17c9b0f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"17c9b0f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings='\"background_background\":\"classic\"'>\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c20d28\" data-id=\"5c20d28\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83276f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"83276f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Strength of Philosophy<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a79b1f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a79b1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>As the partners continue to look toward a seemingly exciting and busy future, they agree that there are certain philosophies to which they will remain\u00a0true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the strengths of my partnership with Chris is that we don\u2019t pretend to be interchangeable,\u201d says Gonzalez. \u201cChris has an exceptional instinct for people. He is very adept at reading dynamics, resolving tension early, and keeping long-term relationships steady. That kind of leadership isn\u2019t always visible, but it\u2019s critical, and I\u2019m grateful to be able to lean on his expertise, grow and learn from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t take ourselves too seriously,\u201d Cobb says. \u201cWe have a No Asshole policy. The practice of law is stressful enough, if we\u2019re on the same team I\u2019m not going to be berating my teammates or doing anything that will cause them more stress. I don\u2019t want them going home and coming back afraid of their own shadow the next day. Of course, there will be mistakes, but we use them as learning opportunities and the people who succeed at our firm are those who take those mistakes head on, correct them, and don\u2019t make them in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the firm continues to grow, certain policies remain firmly in place such as ongoing training and frequent meetings designed to discuss and share ideas. According to Cobb, this not only helps everyone improve, but bolsters the feeling of camaraderie and teamwork.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3695e15\" data-id=\"3695e15\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1245080d elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"1245080d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-quote-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a7a2385 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a7a2385\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">We have a No Asshole policy.
