Cullen is an attorney in the firm’s Trust and Estates and Tax law planning groups.  Prior to joining the firm, Cullen practiced for 6 years in Nashville, Tennessee where he developed and implemented tax-advantaged generational wealth transfer and business succession plans for ultra-high net worth clients. At Barnett Kirkwood Koche Long & Foster, Cullen continues to advise clients in all aspects of charitable, tax, business succession, and estate planning.

While skilled in the mathematical aspects of planning, Cullen understands that a good plan is ultimately defined not by the numbers involved, but by the peace of mind and security it provides the client.  To that end, Cullen strives to create personal relationships with clients that embody trust and confidence.

A frequent presenter and publisher on estate planning topics, Cullen is also active in the Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law section of the Florida Bar.  Cullen is barred in Tennessee and continues to serve clients with Tennessee specific issues.
