Practice Areas
Dissolution of Marriage
Paternity & Child Support
Paternity & Child Support
Divorce is hard. The most important decision you will make when faced with one is picking the right attorney for you. It is important to have someone that will fight for you every step of the way and understands how to effectively take things to the courtroom if there is any disagreements from your spouse. In addition, if you are trying to modify your parenting plan, parental responsibility, alimony, child support, or any other issue that was adjudicated by the Court in your case, an attorney who is experienced in seeking this relief is crucial to your success.
Paternity & Child Support
Paternity & Child Support
Paternity & Child Support
Paternity cases can often be more complex than meets the eye. Florida's presumption is that children should spend equal time with both parents. And for the most part, that is how it should be. There are, however, circumstances which do not call for equal parenting time. You should ensure you have an attorney that understands how to rebut that presumption if it is in the best interest of your child(ren).
Relocation
Paternity & Child Support
DUI Defense
Relocating within or outside of Florida can be a complex process, particularly when legal requirements and disputes arise. We can assist in helping you navigate Florida’s relocation laws to ensure the best possible chance for relocation. It is critical to understand how the statute works, especially if time is of the essence, and prepare the best case for the court's consideration. On the other hand, we can also help fight relocation if you feel it is best for your child(ren) to stay.
DUI Defense

Being arrested for DUI can be an overwhelming and life-altering experience, but you don’t have to face it alone. You need an experienced attorney who routinely defends individuals accused of DUI to protect your rights and your future. There are a number of ways to fight a DUI, such as challenging the traffic stop or officers assertion of your indicators of impairment. Equally as important in your DUI defense (and often neglected) will be your legal team gathering mitigation from inception of the case.
