About Adrian
Adrian Middleton is the shareholder of Sword & Shield, PLLC, a law firm based on Market Street in Tallahassee, Florida. Adrian represents licensed professionals, business owners, and individuals in matters where a career, a business, or a family is on the line.
A large part of the practice is administrative law: helping clients obtain professional and business licenses and defending those licenses in investigations and disciplinary proceedings before Florida's regulatory agencies. Adrian also represents clients in criminal, civil, and family court, and defends employers served with workers' compensation stop-work orders.
That combination matters. A criminal plea can cost a nurse a license. A stop-work order can put a contractor's registration at risk. A civil judgment can follow a professional into a licensing application. Adrian approaches each matter with the whole picture in view, so that solving one problem does not create another.
