September 7, 1928 – June 21, 2020
George A. Dietz played a vital role in shaping Sarasota’s growth and character. A proud U.S. Marine Corps JAG and graduate from the University of Florida Law School, Mr. Dietz joined Williams Parker in 1955 and became a name partner just four years later.
With a focus on real estate law, he contributed significantly to the development of landmark communities such as The Meadows, Bay Isles, and the Longboat Key Club.
Mr. Dietz’s influence extended well beyond the legal profession. He served as president of both the Sarasota County Bar Association and The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, co-founded the United Way Foundation, and held leadership roles on numerous nonprofit boards. His decades of service to The Florida Bar and the Sarasota County Law Library were honored in 2013 when he was named a Legal Legend.
