Florida family law matters including, but not limited to:
- Divorce
- Paternity
- Time-sharing
- Child-support
- Modifications
- Pre and postnuptial agreements
If you are facing the possibility of divorce, parenting issues (formerly known as custody), alimony, child support, contempt, modifications, paternity and other domestic relations matters, our objective is to provide you with an assessment of your case and assist in formulating solutions that best suit your family’s needs and goals.
Utilizing our specific knowledge and experience in the area of family law, we strive to settle clients’ disputes quickly and discreetly using settlement mechanisms such as mediation. People can save significant time and expense by using mediation to resolve contested issues. Mediation can also reduce the emotional impact and stress involved with divorce. By comparison, the adversarial nature of courtroom litigation often fuels animosities. Even so, some couples cannot settle their differences outside of court. For this reason, we are ready and able to litigate your case to conclusion whenever settlement is not possible.

LANDLORD – TENANT LAW: Landlord Legal Representation
We can represent residential or commercial landlords throughout the entire range of issues that arise under landlord and tenant law, from drafting and reviewing leases and land contracts to litigation or mediation of landlord tenant disputes. If you are a landlord and feel you need to start the eviction process or take collection action on unpaid rent or the cost of repairing damage to the property, you should consult with an attorney who will explain how to avoid headaches by taking these actions in full compliance with the law. Once you contact our offices, we will immediately begin the eviction process. We will file the eviction paperwork the same day we receive the notice.
Tenant Legal Representation
We represent commercial and residential tenants who believe their rights are not being respected. If you are threatened with an eviction, we can help ensure that your landlord follows the proper process and meets the requirements for eviction. It may be possible to extend the time constraints or even fight the validity of the eviction. If your landlord has not provided you with a safe and habitable residence, ensured that you have quiet enjoyment of the property or made reasonable repairs, there are processes you can follow to correct these deficiencies. We will help you get the remedy you need. We also represent tenants in security deposit disputes.
