Goede, DeBoest & Cross, PLLC

ESTABLISHED IN 2013

Goede, Adamczyk, DeBoest & Cross, PLLC is a full-service law firm with offices in Naples, Fort Myers, Boca Raton, and Coral Gables. The predecessor to GADC was formed in 2013, when Goede & Adamczyk, PLLC merged with Condo & HOA Law Group, PLLC. This was the beginning of the partnership between John Goede and Richard DeBoest. The two previously knew each other and even referred clients to one another. They often attended the same legal events, where a lively conversation ensued. After several of those conversations, they decided to formally discuss their mutual interests and what they discovered was a common goal: To better serve their clients on a variety of legal matters. With the merger, DeBoest's previous desire to satisfy the requests of his clients for non-community association legal work came to fruition. For Goede, adding one of the leading community association law practices provided more resources and greater efficiency for all clients. By combining the two firms, they maximized their services, improved efficiency and provided added value for their clients.

Today, GADC is led by John Goede, Richard DeBoest, Steve Adamczyk, and Brian Cross, representing a combined 73 years of practicing law. The two firms came together with a bigger dream and a grand vision of what could be if they joined forces. With a broad range of practice areas including community association law, real estate, commercial litigation, estate planning, probate, corporate and business law, banking and financial services, family law, insurance coverage and carrier representation, personal injury, medical malpractice, class actions and mass torts, they would have the ability to meet their clients' wide range of legal needs.

Richard D. DeBoest, II began practicing law in 1993. As a proud second-generation community association lawyer, he was inspired by his father, Richard. D.

As a result, DeBoest began his practice with a strong focus on Condominium and HOA Law.
