Practice areas
Divorce, time-sharing, child support, relocation, modification, mediation and the paternity, injunction and adoption matters that come with them. Four attorneys, one office on Lafayette Street, and a collaborative team approach to every case.
Family law is almost everything that runs through the family division of the West Pasco Judicial Center.
Most of our cases are the ones listed below. The rest, paternity actions, injunctions for protection, stepparent adoptions, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, name changes, are handled by the same four attorneys with the same approach: a free first consultation, a straight answer about where you stand, and a team approach to every case.

Common questions
General information about Florida law, not legal advice for your specific case.
Primarily Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando and Hillsborough. Most of our cases are heard at the West Pasco Judicial Center in New Port Richey, in Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit.
Yes, by phone or in the office. You describe what is going on, and the attorney tells you where you stand under Florida law and what the process would look like.
We thoughtfully match each client with the attorney best suited to the specific issues involved, and the firm’s attorneys collaborate, so more than one attorney’s experience informs the strategy on your case. You will always know who is handling your file and how to reach them.
By motion in the same case. Parenting plans, support orders and settlement agreements adopted by the court are all court orders, and the court can compel compliance, award make-up time-sharing or fees, and in serious cases hold a party in contempt.
Yes, on both sides: petitioning for an injunction and defending against one. Because the firm also practices criminal defense, we handle the situation where an injunction and a criminal charge arise from the same events.
Any existing court orders or agreements, and a rough picture of income, assets and debts. If there are children, the current schedule. You do not need to have documents organized; a conversation is enough to start.
The first consultation is free, by phone or in the office. Call during business hours or send a message and we will get back to you.
