About Mr. Romano
Antonio P. Romano is a Partner at Comiter Singer and Co-Chair of the firm’s Probate Administration Department, where he leads and advises on complex probate, trust, and guardianship matters throughout Florida. His practice centers on high-stakes estate and trust administrations and disputes involving fiduciary risk, exposure, and significant assets. Antonio is frequently engaged in matters where litigation strategy, administration, and tax considerations intersect, requiring sound judgment, technical fluency, and a clear focus on resolution.
In his practice, Antonio handles both complex fiduciary litigation and sophisticated estate and trust administrations, including contested and uncontested matters. He regularly litigates fiduciary disputes, contested administrations, claims arising from administrative failures, and beneficiary conflicts, while also advising fiduciaries in navigating compliance, distributions, and risk management in non-adversarial administrations. Antonio is known for a strategic, team-based approach that integrates litigation strategy with tax and administrative considerations to help identify and mitigate risk during life and to create leverage, manage exposure, and drive efficient resolution following death. By working closely internally and externally with tax counsel, accountants, and fiduciaries, he helps move matters forward through informed planning, targeted motion practice, negotiation, or trial when necessary.
Antonio remains deeply involved in advancing Florida probate and trust law. At the state level, Antonio serves as Subcommittee Chair of the Florida Probate Rules Committee and actively participates in the Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law Section of The Florida Bar, including the Guardianship, Probate & Trust Litigation, Probate Law & Procedure, Trust Law, and At Large Members (ALM) committees. He is also a graduate of The Florida Bar Leadership Academy and the Florida Fellows Institute through the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC). At the local level, Antonio is active in the Palm Beach County Bar Association, including the Probate & Guardianship Practice Committee.
Outside of his practice, Antonio is actively involved at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, where his husband serves as the Rector.
Antonio earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Miami School of Law and his Bachelor of Science in Finance from Florida State University. His combined background in finance and litigation allows him to counsel fiduciaries and families with a clear focus on risk management and practical outcomes.
Antonio is widely regarded for his judgment, professionalism, and ability to navigate complex probate, trust, and guardianship matters, delivering thoughtful, results-driven solutions across Florida.
