Info about a Jacksonville Family Law Attorney
I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. I graduated from Wolfson High School in 1985. Afterwards, I attended the University of Florida and received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1990. After attending graduate school at the University of Central Florida, I graduated from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. In 1996, after law school, I returned to Jacksonville where I have been practicing law ever since. In 2000, I started my own law practice and have been a Jacksonville Family Law Attorney ever since.
I am licensed to practice in Florida and Georgia. Family law cases include divorce, paternity, adoption and child support cases. My practice regularly takes me to Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Nassau, Ware, Charlton, and Camden Counties.
