Practice Areas
Family Law
Filing for divorce in Florida does not require show of cause. Florida Law permits the cause for divorce action to be filed as “Irretrievably Broken,” which does not require both parties agree to the dissolution. For couples, who have no children or no significant assets and have been married for a short duration, this process can be simple.
Workers' Compensation
In the world of workers’ compensation, an open-and-shut case is one where your injury is very minor, you miss little to no work, have no out-of-pocket expenses, your employer is cooperating, and your injury isn’t affecting a pre-existing condition. If any of those statements aren’t true, you should contact a Workers’ Compensation attorney.
Personal Injury
Whether you’ve had a car accident, slipped and fell or suffered an injury through the negligence of another, such as at a retail store, theme park, grocery store or any other public venue, you may be entitled to recover damages for your medical bills and lost wages, as well as your pain and suffering.
Guardianship
If you have a loved one, such as a parent, who is starting to suffer from dementia or show signs of other incapacitates and disabilities, someone will need to step-in and become their legal advocate. To protect and prevent harm to our loved ones, Florida law allows a family member or other concerned person to become the legal Guardian over the vulnerable individual.
Dependency
If you are a parent or guardian confronted with a DCF dependency investigation or charges, you are facing serious consequences–the greatest of which could be the termination of your parental rights. It is possible to enter into a “safety plan” with DCF to avoid having a shelter or dependency petition filed against your family.
Criminal Law
Our criminal justice system can be overwhelming and frightening. If you face the possibility of being accused of a crime, or if you have been charged with a crime, it is imperative you hire an attorney. State and Federal charges are very different, and, in some cases, you can be charged federally and then again by the state. Charges can run consecutively or concurrently.
