Why Experience Matters
HIGH-CONFLICT DIVORCE
When spouses weaponize the system—false domestic violence allegations, hidden assets, parental alienation—you need an attorney who's seen every tactic. 28 years means I know what's coming before it arrives.
COMPLEX ASSET DIVISION
High-net-worth divorce requires forensic analysis. Business interests, offshore accounts, retirement assets, real estate portfolios—opposition hides what they can. I find what they don't want found.
CUSTODY BATTLES
Florida courts prioritize the child's best interests. Judges have seen every argument. What matters is preparation, evidence, and knowing which judge responds to which presentation. Experience wins custody cases.
DUAL PRACTICE ADVANTAGE
Domestic violence allegations often arise during divorce. My criminal defense background allows me to defend you in both courts simultaneously—protecting your freedom AND your custody rights.
The Process
Initial Consultation
We discuss your situation, goals, and opposition strategy. I provide realistic assessment of outcomes, timeline, and costs. No false promises.
Investigation & Discovery
Financial records, communications, witnesses. Opposition will hide what damages their case. We find it through formal discovery, subpoenas, and forensic analysis.
Strategic Positioning
Mediation, settlement negotiations, or trial preparation. Each case has leverage points. When we have it, we negotiate. When they won't settle reasonably, we prepare for trial.
Resolution
Settlement or trial. Either path, you're protected. My preparation ensures opposition knows what they face if we proceed to trial—often leading to better settlements.
Your Family Deserves Experienced Protection
Custody, assets, your children's future. The other side retained counsel. When do you?
