Hurley Partin Whitaker II
Co-founder & Chief Legal Officer
Partin Whitaker earned a Doctorate of Jurisprudence at Florida A&M College of Law in Downtown Orlando while working as an intern for a local environmental defense attorney. Additionally, he clerked in the United States Bankruptcy Court Middle District of Florida for Judge Karen Jennemann. Partin earned the Book Award in Bankruptcy and Administrative Law and competed with the school's Mock Trial Team. Before going to law school, Partin attended the University of Central Florida and was one of the first graduates from the Rosen School of Hospitality Management.
Partin has five years of practice experience, first working for two years in his family's firm where he focused on bankruptcy, as well as collection and foreclosure defense. He later led the Bankruptcy Division at the prestigious Bogin, Munns, & Munns. After two years, Partin decided that a corporate firm with a traditional approach was not where and how he wanted to practice law. After a brief foray in solo practice, Partin joined Law for Life and helped formally launch the company.
Partin is a third generation Florida attorney, absorbing experience from his father, grandfather, and his mother who ran Legal Aid of Broward County. He is a Florida native and lives with his domestic partner and their son in the Orlando area. When he’s not watching cartoons and playing video games with the family, Partin spends his time playing the drums in a few bands.
