Jacksonville Family Law Attorney And Mediator
You will have a much easier time as your family law issues are resolved. You will tend to get more positive results by hiring a Jacksonville family law attorney and mediator. Unlike some other firms, when you hire me as your attorney, you get me as your attorney. You will not be given a far less experienced associate as your family law lawyer. I have over 24 years of experience as a Jacksonville family law attorney and mediator. Divorce. Uncontested divorce. Paternity. Adoption. These are the types of cases that make up the broad category of family law. The issues raised in a typical Florida family law case include property division, debt division, child support, time sharing (formerly called visitation), child relocation and alimony. Your case may involve some or all of these issues.
I also represent clients for the modification of prior court orders – from other Florida counties or other states. For more information on these issues, please see the links under Practice Areas. If you have additional questions or would like to schedule a consultation, please call the office at any time.

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. Since I have exclusively practiced as a family law attorney for over 24 years, I have seen how clients are affected, and I will make sure you are not overwhelmed by the process.
Furthermore, as an experienced divorce lawyer in Jacksonville, Florida, I am aware of the emotional toll that these cases take on clients and their children. 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. However, if a settlement is not possible, I can take your case to court.
Education And Experience
I was born and raised in Jacksonville. I graduated from Wolfson High School in 1985. Immediately afterward, I attended the University of Florida. I 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, I returned to Jacksonville, where I have been practicing law ever since. In 2000, I started my own law practice focusing exclusively on family law and related issues.
Unlike just about every other Jacksonville family law attorney, I am also licensed to practice law in Georgia. My practice takes me to Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Nassau, Ware, Charlton and Camden counties. However, in the age of Zoom (and other video conferencing programs), I can appear in all counties in Florida just as easily as I can appear in Duval County. I am also a Florida Supreme Court-certified family court mediator.
