Tallahassee, Fla., May 6, 2025 – With heavy hearts, Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. announces the passing of one of our founding partners, Anne Longman. Anne was more than a colleague—she was a mentor, a friend, and a guiding force who helped shape our firm’s identity from the very beginning.

Over 30 years ago, Anne, along with six other colleagues, founded LLW, shaping it into one of Florida’s most respected environmental law firms. Her legal brilliance was matched only by her compassion and her unwavering belief in fostering a culture of mutual respect, support, and inclusion—well ahead of her time.

She was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. At a time when few women were law firm leaders, Anne co-founded LLW and helped grow it to what it is today—a firm known not just for its dedication to clients, but for its deep commitment to those who work there.

She led with quiet strength, sharp intellect, and a deeply rooted sense of purpose—always believing in the power of good people and good work.

Anne practiced environmental, administrative and appellate law with distinction. She served on the Board of Governors of the Leon County Research & Development Authority and as Chair of the Board of Directors for 211 Big Bend, a 24/7 crisis hotline that reflects her enduring commitment to service and community.

Her academic achievements were equally impressive. Anne earned her J.D., with honors, from Florida State University College of Law in 1979, a M.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1973, and a B.S., magna cum laude from Mercer University in 1971.

Anne will be remembered not only for her professional legacy, but for her warmth, generosity, steady nature and deep love for her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her absence will be felt deeply by all who knew her.
