With nearly 20 years of experience, Ali Griffin handles all aspects of commercial and residential real estate transactions. She specializes in U.S. Small Business Administration loans, including SBA 504 loans (she is a Certified 504 Closing Attorney) and SBA 7(a) loans, as well as construction loans and non-real-estate business transactions. Her practice also includes real estate financing, leasing, business purchases and sales, and closings involving virtually every type of property.

Known simply as “Ali” to her colleagues, clients, and family, she is a lifelong Floridian. Born in Sebring, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Business from Florida State University before attending Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville. While in law school, she received the Book Award for Appellate Brief Writing and served as a Teaching and Research Assistant in Contracts. She earned her Juris Doctor in 2007 and was admitted to The Florida Bar that same year.

During law school, Ali discovered a passion for business and real estate law. After graduation, she chose to build her career in Northeast Florida, joining Head, Moss & Fulton, P.A., where she found the ideal environment to develop her practice.

In 2013, Alexandra B. Griffin became a partner in the firm, now known as Head, Moss, Fulton & Griffin, P.A. (HMFG). Following the passing of founding partners Bob Head and John Moss in 2016, Ali assumed responsibility for the firm’s day-to-day operations while continuing to expand her real estate and business law practice.

Today, Ali represents lending institutions throughout Clay County and Northeast Florida and continues to guide clients through a wide range of commercial and residential real estate transactions. She is a member of the Clay County Bar Association, an affiliate member of the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors, NAIOP Northeast Florida Developing Leaders, and the Northeast Florida Small Business Resource Network.

Ali is committed to providing practical, responsive legal counsel and building lasting relationships with her clients. She takes pride in guiding individuals, businesses, and lenders through complex transactions with professionalism, clear communication, and trusted advice from start to finish.

Bio

Erin Sullivan, Attorney at Law

Erin Sullivan has been working in Title and Property Law for almost 20 years. In addition to handling all aspects of real estate law, Erin is a resource for complex property and title issues and a true problem solver. Combine her experience with excellent people skills, and you can see why agents, buyers, and sellers enjoy working with her.

Born and raised in Casper, Wyoming, Erin Sullivan knew from an early age that she wanted to be an attorney. In 2001, she graduated from the University of Wyoming with honors, earning degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology. She moved to Jacksonville in the summer of 2002 to study at the Florida Coastal School of Law and began working in the title insurance industry straight out of law school. In 2005, when the subprime lending boom was driving the market, Erin quickly became adept at handling high-speed, high-volume closings for the most demanding clientele.

Despite the market contraction in 2008, Erin continued her path in real estate law. She started and ran a small in-house title company for the Jacksonville firm Stellar Properties. In addition to running the title company, Erin served as counsel for the property management side of the business. This experience greatly enhanced her knowledge base of another complex aspect within real estate law. Erin left Stellar Properties in order to help found and serve as General Counsel at Hillcrest Title. After stepping away from Hillcrest, she worked at US Patriot Title until 2024, when she joined us here at HMFG.

Erin’s well-rounded knowledge of real estate law, prompt responsiveness, and solid work ethic have earned her fierce client loyalty. In addition to handling all aspects of real estate law, Erin is a resource for complex property and title issues and a true problem solver.
