Carlos Mario Gomez Garcia, LL.M. is the founder and managing partner of Praetorian Legal Services. He advises clients across real estate, probate-driven transactions, corporate structuring, IP, and digital media and entertainment matters. A real estate investor and small business owner himself, Carlos brings a practical business perspective to his legal work, viewing corporate and real estate documents not as mere filings but rather as structural foundations that protect ownership and control.
In his real estate and estate practice, Carlos leverages his background as an active property investor to handle complex acquisitions, commercial leasing, title-curative matters, and escrow disputes. He frequently helps clients navigate the complications of selling or transferring inherited property, ensuring that family interests, executor authority, and title requirements are aligned before closing. Because he has personal experience in property management and real estate finance, he looks past standard contract boilerplate to structure deals that protect his clients from common transaction traps, hidden title defects, and missed deadlines.
On the corporate side, Carlos helps clients set up business entities, drafts everyday commercial contracts, and manages trademark and copyright licensing. His corporate work focuses on resolving disagreements between partners, drafting operating and shareholder agreements, and setting up clear entity structures that protect a company’s interests as it scales. Clients appreciate that Carlos talks business first and legal second. He translates dense statutory requirements into straightforward commercial decisions, helping founders and owners negotiate terms that protect their bottom line without getting in the way of growth.
In his digital media and entertainment practice, Carlos advises independent creators, online platforms, and creative startups on protecting their brands, complying with platform rules, and negotiating straightforward distribution and production agreements. He structures protective agreements for name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights, including terms guarding against unauthorized digital replicas and AI-generated content. He also helps digital talent and media ventures navigate platform terms of service, merchant account and payment processor policies, and DMCA takedowns or counter-notifications to resolve piracy and content disputes.
Before practicing law, Carlos worked directly in the commercial property sector as a licensed agent with Keller Williams and in investment management. That hands-on work taught him how property deals actually run. He saw firsthand the pressure of tight closing dates, the frequent disconnect between a property’s physical condition and its legal title, the hurdles of securing financing, and the massive delays caused by unresolved title defects. This practical foundation has been invaluable when structuring complex real estate transactions, allowing him to anticipate commercial risks and resolve title issues long before they can stall a closing.
Carlos went on to earn both his Juris Doctor and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Real Property from the University of Miami School of Law. After graduating, he worked as an associate attorney at a boutique real estate and business firm in Miami, where he handled complex property transactions and commercial disputes. That unique career path (business first, property second, and law third) shapes how he practices today. Because his legal training was built on a foundation of real-world business experience, he knows exactly where business deals are likely to fail and how to draft agreements that actually protect his clients’ interests.
He established Praetorian Legal Services in Aventura, Florida, to deliver this practical, business-first approach to a focused boutique practice. Representing clients in both English and Spanish, Carlos works with businesses and media companies to prevent legal headaches before they start. As both an attorney and a business owner, he knows that the easiest and most affordable time to protect your interests is before contracts are signed, closing deadlines are missed, or platform and ownership disputes begin.
