Choosing the right divorce attorney

Choosing the right attorney to handle your divorce case is critically important. There are certainly many attorneys to choose from in the Jacksonville area. My goal is to make the divorce process as painless as possible for clients.

I find that clients are much happier when they can resolve their case at the negotiation table rather than in a courtroom. By offering options for quick resolution I hope to alleviate some of the stress related to the divorce.

I understand the trust that each client places with me when they retain me to represent them. I treat each client and their case with the utmost care and respect.

When children are involved, I make every effort to keep them out of the divorce case. There is no reason (except in some very rare occasions) that children need to be put in the middle of a divorce between their parents.

I am fortunate that the great majority of my clients come from referrals from past clients and recommendations from other attorneys. This has allowed me to represent clients who come to the office knowing what type of representation to expect and I aim to deliver.

Although it is rare, not all of my divorce cases settle by voluntary settlement agreement or mediation. If settlement cannot be achieved then I will do what is necessary to prepare my client’s case for a contested final hearing. I will thoroughly prepare my client for final hearing and will take depositions, subpoena witnesses, prepare trial exhibits and research case law as the case may require.
