Of Counsel

BIOGRAPHY
Wes Dunaway has never been interested in practicing law from an ivory tower.
Long before he focused his practice on probate, estate planning, and trust litigation, Wes built a career solving complex problems in both the legal and technology worlds. With a background in computer science, finance, and law, he brings a practical, analytical approach to every matter he handles—whether helping a family navigate the loss of a loved one, resolving a contested estate dispute, or creating an estate plan designed to protect future generations.
A Tennessee native, Wes earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Furman University before completing his MBA with a concentration in Finance at Rollins College. Before entering the legal profession, he spent years in the technology sector, managing critical systems and leading projects for Attorneys’ Title Fund Services, one of Florida’s most respected title insurance organizations. The experience taught him something that still guides his practice today: complicated problems are best solved through preparation, organization, and careful attention to detail.

What Our Clients Say
“Jay is amazing. After my car accident I was so concerned about everything. I was in pain, my bills were stacking up and I didn’t have the time or energy to solve these issues on my own. Jay took all the guess work out for me, he organized everything, and got me compensated that I deserved. Now that this whole experience is behind me I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Jay and his team are excellent at what they do! I highly recommend Kovar Law Group.”

His staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and hard working. I recommend this attorney.
