Mr. Rush serves on the board of the Library Foundation for Sarasota County and is a member of the Southwest Florida Estate Planning Council and the Venice Estate Planning Council. He holds a degree in economics, a juris doctor, and master of laws in taxation from the University of Florida.

Williams Parker’s offers one of the largest trusts and estates practices in Florida. Its attorneys are regularly engaged to provide the legal framework to address business succession, estate planning, tax planning, charitable giving, and retirement planning goals as part of the smooth transition of its clients’ businesses and estates to future owners and beneficiaries. This includes both lifetime and postmortem planning. Additionally, when necessary, the group represents clients, or their fiduciaries, in litigated estate and trust administration proceedings and in tax controversies involving estate and gift tax matters.
