A prominent Southwest Florida law firm has hired a seasoned lawyer with experience in estate and guardianship litigation.
Naples-based FisherBroyles added Jamie Schwinghamer to its roster of legal eagles. Schwinghamer is not only joining the firm, she’s entering the roster as a partner.
Schwinghamer has about two decades of experience. Her legal specialties include estate law, trust, guardianship, administration and civil trial expertise.
Much of her work focuses on guardians and agents under powers of attorney. She’s also skilled at handling health care surrogate designations and trust and estate beneficiaries.
Beyond those areas of law, Schwinghamer has a deep background in commercial litigation, including contracts, shareholder and partnership disputes, as well as real estate conflicts.
“Joining FisherBroyles allows me to leverage its innovative platform while continuing to focus on what I am passionate about — protecting families, ensuring justice and guiding clients through some of life’s most challenging legal matters,” said Schwinghamer. “I am excited to collaborate with a team that values both professionalism and client-centered service.”
In addition to the guardianship and fiduciary claims she’s handled, Schwinghamer has extensive experience in securing injunctions and other legal maneuvers to prevent and limit the exploitation of older adults.
“Jamie’s experience in high-profile trust and estate disputes, combined with her compassionate approach to guardianship matters, makes her an invaluable addition to our Naples team,” said James Fisher II, cofounder and managing partner of FisherBroyles. “Her ability to handle sensitive and complex issues aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering exceptional client solutions.”
Schwinghamer’s service is not limited to the courtroom. She’s also the president of the Collier County Bar Association and past president of the Collier County Women’s Bar Association.
She earned her law degree from the University of Miami School of Law in 2006. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in interdisciplinary social science from Florida Gulf Coast University.
Fisher Broyles has gained prominence over the past two decades. It was founded on the Gulf Coast in 2002.

Then please stop up and help all of us seniors all over Florida that need help from these big giant corporations that bought all us Mom and Pop mobile homes parks. We just want to enjoy life. These big corporate companies come in and are trying to push us out out. Price us and harass us to the point where we just give in and they take her homes from us. They push us to the point where we’re feel so defeated. I’ve been broken to the point, mental strain, nervous breakdowns, and physical illness. Over the past 6 years I finally lost my composure and scolded one of the employees for their bad behavior and they lied and said that I slapped I did know such thing. They did threaten me. I better watch out. Well they got me and now I’m going to be homeless in 30 days. They’re taking my home. I own it. They own the land and they know I can’t move it and they laugh. I think it’s funny it’s happening all over the United States and especially in Florida Sun Communities,Els Mobile home community etc . When covid came these big corporations came in and bought all our little parks so they could profit off Transit, tourists, RVs units. No more stationery. They want us gone. Even our governor has not even taken notice of what’s been happening to us and it’s a shame at us. Seniors are going through this with no help and our lawyers and attorneys are not educated to handle these corporations because they’re such big bullies so now I’m 61 years old facing a felony charge and they’re taking my home and I have no place to go cannot be able to go to another mobile home park due to a charge and a eviction. This is awful to happen to a senior person to be put out on the street.
