Gunster law firm hires tax specialist Andrew Nerney to join roster of attorneys
Law firm with offices across Florida signs up Andrew Nerney to expand personal wealth offerings.
A prominent Florida law firm is expanding its offerings in the private wealth services sector with the addition of a new hire in that area of expertise.
Officials with Gunster law firm, which has several offices across Florida, say they’re beefing up their wealth services sector by hiring attorney Andrew Nerney. He’ll be working out of the Boca Raton office for Gunster.
Nerney has more than a decade of legal work. His areas of focus include estate, tax business succession and asset protection planning. He’s overseen work that includes drafting estate planning. He’s also well versed in handling tax-exempt organizations and trusts. He has additional experience in various other tax issues and has served as an advisor on estate and trust administration along with charitable giving and domicile planning.
Gunster has been expanding its private wealth services after the firm received high rankings in the Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide. The firm also has the most representations among Florida law firms in the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, a national legal organization for wills, trust, estate planning and tax laws.
Nerney achieved a master’s of law degree focusing on taxation from Georgetown University Law Center and he earned his law degree from Quinnipiac University School of Law. He obtained his bachelor of arts degree from University of South Florida in the Tampa area.
Gunster was founded in 1925 and has grown to 12 offices across Florida. The firm has more than 300 attorneys on its staff and other 290 professional staff members. The firm is ranked in the top 500 largest law firms in the county by the National Law Journal and is also noted in the Top 100 Diverse Law Firms by Law360.
While the firm has offices throughout Florida, it’s still headquartered in West Palm Beach.

SpaceX rocket launch this weekend. See liftoff from the Treasure Coast
A so Florida thing is coming up to kick off the weekend. A rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, is scheduled for the same day as the first full moon of May 2026 (yes, there are two full moons in May this year).
SpaceX plans to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 29 Starlink broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit on Friday, May 1. The four-hour launch window opens up 10 minutes after the May 1 full moon peaks in the sky.
Though rockets here launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center or Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, people from the Treasure Coast can sometimes see this phenomenon.
Weather permitting and depending on cloud cover and trajectory, a rocket launch from Florida’s Space Coast could be visible as far north as Jacksonville Beach and as far south as West Palm Beach.
When there’s a launch window in the middle of the night or very early morning, there’s an opportunity for unique photos — the rocket lights up the dark sky, and the contrail after makes for a great photo.
Below is more information on the next rocket launch from Florida and suggestions on where to watch it from the Treasure Coast.

Truck driver’s body found after he disappeared in Florida
The body of Alejandro Jacomino Gonzalez, 41 was discovered in coastal Georgia, according to FBI officials.
The body of a truck driver was discovered in Georgia nearly two weeks after he went missing from a Florida rest stop, officials said.
Alejandro Jacomino González, 41, of Miami, picked up vehicles in Georgia on April 16 and was transporting them to Miami. He stopped at a rest stop in Brevard County, Florida on April 17 about 1:21 a.m. and rested for several hours.
The truck’s GPS showed shortly before 8 a.m., the truck “traveled one exit south and then turned north toward Jacksonville, Florida,” according to the FBI.
“Shortly after, González stopped responding and the truck was reported missing,” the FBI said.
The truck, without some of the vehicles González was transporting, was located in Port Wentworth, Georgia. Three vehicles were recovered in Florida, FBI officials said.
González’s body was located in coastal Georgia. Details on how he died, when and how his remains were located were not provided.
FBI seeking help from public in case of killed Florida truck driver
The FBI is seeking anyone who has photos or video from the Brevard County rest area in Grant-Valkaria, Florida between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. April 17.
Officials are especially interested in the southern portion of the rest stop, near the ramp reconnecting to Interstate-95. Images can shared through an online form.
