R. Max Lohman, Jr.
R. Max Lohman, Jr. was born and raised in southern Indiana, just north of Louisville, Kentucky. Upon graduating high school he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in the Nuclear Power Training Program. After becoming “nuclear qualified” and attaining the rank of Machinist Mate Second Class (MM2/E-5), Max received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. Upon graduation he selected Naval Aviation and after receiving his “Wings of Gold” Max was designated an "Unrestricted Naval Aviator." Subsequently, Max was qualified as an aircraft commander in the SH-60B Seahawk and as a Functional Check Pilot (squadron level test pilot). Max was deployed twice to the Persian Gulf where he amassed over 1400 total flight hours, with ~500 hours of combat flight time and more than 500 shipboard landings. His sea tour came to an end with his selection as the squadron and wing "Pilot of the Year" and culminated in selection as the 1999 Naval Helicopter Association “Pilot of the Year.” For his shore tour Max returned to the Naval Academy where he taught Naval Warfare Strategy and Tactics and was the Course Coordinator/Lead Instructor of the Aviation Capstone Course. While teaching at the academy, Max attended the University of Maryland, Francis King Carey School of Law where he obtained his Juris Doctor degree. Upon graduation in 2003, Max moved to Palm Beach County and began his legal career, choosing to focus his practice in the area of local government/municipal law. Max is rated AV Preeminent® by Martindale-Hubbell, is a Florida Bar Board Certified Specialist in City, County and Local Government Law, and has more than eighteen years of experience in this field. Max currently serves as the City Attorney for the City of Palm Beach Gardens, the Town Attorney for the Town of Lantana and General Counsel for the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority and the West Palm Beach Art & Entertainment District. Max also serves as the Special Magistrate for the Towns of Glen Ridge and Cloud Lake.
In 2014, Max founded Lohman Law Group, P.A. to meet the ever growing need for expansive, comprehensive legal representation from a single law firm that represents the interests of local governments, while providing the legal experience and resources of much larger firms. Max strives to provide an “in-house” legal department experience at a cost that makes economic sense and represents a real value to the firm’s clients.
Max and his wife, Kristen live in Atlantis, Florida with their rescue dogs, Bentley, Luna, Emmie, and Labradoodle, Kena.
