Choosing Divorce Lawyers in Jacksonville FL
You will have a much easier time as these issues are resolved and you will tend to get more positive results by hiring an attorney. Unlike some other firms, when you hire me as your attorney, you get me as your attorney. You will not be given an associate with far less experience as a family law lawyer.
Divorce. Uncontested divorce. Paternity. Adoption. These are the types of cases that make up the broad category of Family Law. The issues raised in Florida Family Law cases include: property division, debt division, child support, time sharing (formerly called visitation), child relocation, and alimony. I also represent clients for the modification of prior court orders, including those entered in other states. For more information on the issues in your case, please see the links under Practice Areas. If you have additional questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please call the office.
There is no doubt that your family law dispute can cause a great deal of stress in your life. Very often, clients face a complete change to their lifestyle. I have exclusively practiced as a family law attorney for over 11 years. I am one of the more experienced divorce lawyers in Jacksonville FL. As a result, I am aware of the emotional toll that these cases can take on clients and their children. With that in mind, my goal is to help clients complete a smooth transition to the next stage of their lives.
In many cases, the most stress comes from the duration of the case. If possible, I look for ways to resolve cases. Costly litigation is the last option. Always. Experience has shown me that quicker settlements make for happier clients. If a settlement is not possible, I will take your case to court.
