Bio

Jake Landreth

Attorney

Jake Landreth is a Santa Rosa County local, graduated from the first graduating class of Navarre High School, and then went off to chase terrorists with the United States Army. After a few years of wandering the desert, Jake graduated from Florida State University with a bachelor’s degree in Classics. He then worked as a probation officer while going to law school at the University of Denver.

After graduation in 2012, he served as a Deputy District Attorney in Western Colorado and worked for a law firm in Colorado focusing on a broad range of legal issues. In 2016, Jake took a break from legal practice to join the United States Border Patrol and then ICE, before returning to Florida to practice Family Law.

Married for 23 years, Jake and his wife, Marcie, have three wonderful and crazy children, two enrolled at Navarre High School and keeping them busy with soccer, band and NJROTC. When not driving his children all over Florida, Jake daydreams about sailing, pretends he is still a cowboy on the border, and loves to sit back and enjoy a good book. He also teaches an online course on Business Ethics and Law and tries to get out in the woods for a hike, or get a line in the water, whenever he can.
