Adam Dugan is an excellent estate lawyer. He represented us in a very contentious estate and contractual matter and helped us navigate through this unpleasantness in a personable and professional manner. Adam was great about keeping us informed as our case progressed through the system. He is honest, very intelligent and knowledgeable. In addition, he really cares about his clients. We always felt he had our best interests at heart. Every time we came to his office to meet on our case, he and his staff were always very warm and welcoming. Adam’s Assistant, Liza, was great. We consider Adam to be a friend and highly recommend the Law Office of Adam J. Dugan.

Adam and his staff are the best. I desperately needed help with power of attorney and legal health issues with my elderly mom. They were the first people I called and I am forever in their debt. They all really care!Gene Paul Smith

WHO WE ARE

Meet Our Attorneys

Our attorneys at WaveCrest Legal have decades of combined experience in estate planning, probate, guardianship, and trust matters. Together with our team of knowledgeable paralegals and support staff, WaveCrest Legal strives to provide exceptional legal services to each and every one of our clients.

From its humble beginnings in 2015, the Law Office of Adam J. Dugan, P.A. has expanded its geographic reach from Jacksonville Beach to serve communities throughout Florida.

Our continued growth has resulted in an expanding legal team consisting of experienced attorneys, paralegals, and support staff. In recognition of the firm’s expansion away from Mr. Dugan’s legal services alone, the decision was made to rebrand to WaveCrest Legal.

The new name not only pays homage to our beach roots, but also embodies the firm’s commitment to continue to provide our clients with exceptional legal services through steady learning, listening, and advising.
