Dedicated Employment Lawyers in Southwest Florida
GunterFirm is a boutique employment law firm based in Fort Myers and Naples. For nearly over 20 years, our legal team has focused exclusively on handling employment and labor law cases for both individuals and businesses throughout Florida. While we remain a small, dedicated team of four attorneys, we possess the resources and experience required to litigate against any adversary.
Our Story: From Solo Practice to a Collaborative Team
The firm was founded by Jason L. Gunter, a Florida Bar Board Certified Labor and Employment Law Specialist since 2004. Board certification is the highest level of recognition by the Florida Bar, achieved by only 7% of attorneys in the state. This standard of excellence serves as the foundation for our entire firm. Today, our team has grown into a collaborative four-attorney powerhouse that provides personalized, aggressive representation.
Our Approach: Physical, Mental, and Financial Readiness
We believe that effective litigation requires more than just legal knowledge; it requires tenacity and grit. Our firm’s culture is defined by a commitment to being physically, mentally, and financially prepared to take every case to trial if necessary. This mindset ensures that we never back down from complex or high-stakes legal battles.

Who We Represent
We provide high-quality legal services to a broad range of clients across Southwest Florida:
- For Employees: We represent workers ranging from minimum wage laborers to CEOs of publicly traded companies. We handle cases involving unpaid overtime, commissions, bonuses, and wrongful termination. No case is too small for our attention; we take pride in helping middle-class and low-wage workers secure the money they are owed.
- For Businesses: Because we have spent nearly two decades suing large entities, we are uniquely qualified to consult with businesses on legal exposure. We are routinely retained to draft employee handbooks, provide employment advice, and defend against lawsuits with a cost-efficient litigation strategy.
