Local lawmaker, two colleagues launch historic law firm

The nation’s first law firm led by three sitting lawmakers - all Black women - will have a local office.

State Reps. LaVon Bracy Davis, Ashley Gantt and Michele Rayner announced the launch of BDGR, P.A. on Juneteenth, the federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery. The three joined forces to advance justice, equity and strategic legal counsel throughout Florida, and the firm’s moniker is an acronym representing each legislator's last name.
