As a shareholder with Gunster,
Mr. Schifino maintains an active
practice litigating in state and federal
courts at the trial and appellate levels.
Beyond the courtroom, he has served
and chaired Florida Bar Committees
on Diversity and Inclusion and
Professionalism as well as a Florida
Bar Grievance Committee. He
served as President of HCBA last
year and chaired various HCBA
sections prior to his presidency. He
serves as a Master in the William
Reece Smith, Jr. Litigation Inn of
Court, Board of Directors for
HAWL, Board of Directors for
PACE Center for Girls, a Project
H.E.L.P. volunteer, and Read to
Dream volunteer. Mr. Schifino not
only coached youth athletics, but
led the governing organizations for
Hillsborough County Lacrosse and
Bayshore Little League.
All of these formal titles sit in the
shadow of Mr. Schifino’s personal
relationships as a husband, father,
son, brother and loyal friend. He
formally and informally mentors
colleagues and youth through each
of his endeavors.
The blessing of these two
intelligent, compassionate and
dedicated professionals elevates our
local Bar.
Congratulations and heartfelt
thanks to Jennie Tarr and John
Schifino for your leadership and
for creating a gilded path of
professionalism
for all to admire
and emulate. n
