Jeffrey Kaufman and Craig Lynd first started working together at the Volusia County Public Defender's Office in 1997. Within two years, they opened up their own firm and quickly became one of the largest defense firms in the state. In their first fifteen years, they expanded into many areas including personal injury, property law, civil litigations, family law and other financial areas. Over the last couple years, it became clear that they wanted to personally give more direct attention to their clients. With that desire in mind, they created Kaufman and Lynd, PLLC.
