Speaker Bio

Joseph E. Seagle is licensed to practice law in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia. He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1993 where he double-majored in English and Anthropology. He then went on to attend N.C. Central University School of Law where he graduated in 1996 with a Juris Doctorate degree.

While practicing general corporate and real estate matters, representing timeshare resort developers and other real estate developers in the construction and development of single-family subdivisions in North Carolina, Joe also focused much of his time on representing buyers and sellers in the purchase, sale, and leasing of real estate. In 2001, Joe moved to Orlando, Florida, where he joined a small firm focusing almost exclusively on representation of real estate developers and the firm’s title company, conducting hundreds of real estate closings and settlements.

In the summer of 2004, Joe opened his own practice in Orlando. He concentrated his practice in real estate closings, representing buyers, sellers and developers in their purchase, sale, and development of real estate throughout Central Florida. In 2007, he moved his offices to larger state-of-the-art facilities, and expanded the practice from transactions into litigation related to real estate transactions, including foreclosures, quiet title actions, evictions, and probate.

Joe also owns MyLandTrustee.com which holds properties in trust for investors and others who desire that extra layer of privacy and asset protection in their real estate ownership and transactions.

Located in downtown Orlando, his practice now consists of a team of attorneys and paralegals who have extensive experience serving investors and small business owners.
