ATTORNEY, LAIRD A. LILE, NAPLES
Lile followed his father into the legal profession. From his father, he says, “I gained an appreciation for the respect, and responsibilities, society places on lawyers.” He has been a trust and estate attorney, practicing throughout Florida, since 1984. He began his career in Miami at a large firm before discovering Naples. His father, at 84, still practices in the same town in Ohio where he was born. Lile’s son is now in law school at the University of Miami.
