Versatile state and local government lawyer serving public and private sector clients across Florida. Focus on land use, development, and governmental affairs.
 
Heather Ramos represents public sector clients throughout Florida with a focus on state and local government law. She advises municipalities, counties, independent and dependent special districts, and public agencies on a wide range of issues, including compliance with Florida’s Public Records and Open Meeting Law, ethics and gift laws, special assessments, public finance, annexation and utility matters.
 
With a practical and solutions-oriented approach, Heather advises elected and appointed officials, administrators, and staff to navigate complex statutory and regulatory requirements while promoting transparency and accountability in government. Her experience includes drafting ordinances, resolutions and contracts, guiding boards and commissions on Sunshine Law compliance, advising on financing and assessments for public infrastructure, and supporting utilities with governance and operational matters.
 
Heather currently serves as the attorney for the Towns of Windermere, Howey-in-the-Hills, and the City of Milton, general counsel to the New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission, the Orange County Library District, the Volusia Growth Management Commission, and assistant general counsel to the North Brevard County Hospital District and Space Florida.
