Legal Services & Lawyers

Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a family law attorney in Florida who primarily represents clients in uncontested and contested dissolution of marriage actions.

I also handle paternity and post dissolution modification and enforcement actions involving custody and visitation (now called time sharing), child support and alimony.

With 18+ years of courtroom experience, I am able to prepare and present a client's case for trial. However, the goal of my firm is to settle cases without litigation and without unnecessary costs to the client.

As both a lawyer and former mediator, I have seen firsthand the benefits that come with a fair settlement.

My office is located at 252 3rd St, Neptune Beach, Fl 32266 and I can be reached at (904) "DIVORCE" (348-6723).
