Overview & Focus

John B. Trawick brings over 30 years of civil litigation and dispute resolution experience to clients across Northwest Florida. His practice focuses on complex business, construction, and real estate disputes in state and federal courts, as well as formal arbitration.

Credentials & Distinction

A Florida Bar Board Certified Specialist in Construction Law since 2007, John holds a distinction achieved by less than half of one percent of licensed attorneys in the state. He has also earned Martindale-Hubbell's AV Preeminent® peer-review rating for legal ability and ethical standards.

Practice & Community

A fourth-generation Pensacola native, John represents businesses, property owners, contractors, financial institutions, and public entities in matters ranging from construction defects and contract disputes to non-competes and trade secrets. Deeply committed to the community, he serves as a court-appointed Special Magistrate for local municipalities and is a past president of the Rotary Club of Pensacola. He holds a B.A. from Tulane University and earned his J.D. from the Cumberland School of Law, where he served as Associate Editor of The American Journal of Trial Advocacy.

Beyond the Office

Outside the office, John and his wife have been married for 34 years and raised four children, who now live across the country. Away from work, John enjoys running, surfing, travel, and hiking in national parks—pursuits he readily admits are fueled far more by enthusiasm than athletic talent. On most workdays, he is joined at the office by Nigel, his Cairn Terrier, who acts as the firm's unofficial greeting committee.
