Frequently asked questions
Common Questions about Family Law and Personal Injury Claims in Florida
Do I need a lawyer for a divorce in Florida?
Although Florida law does not strictly require an attorney, navigating the legal system on your own can be risky, especially if assets or children are involved. A divorce agreement is a legally binding court order; correcting mistakes later is often impossible or extremely expensive.
How much does a consultation cost?
I offer a free initial consultation for all personal injury cases. For family law matters, I offer a preliminary case evaluation to determine if we are the right fit for your situation before discussing any retainers.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
First, ensure your safety and seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Call the police to file a report. If possible, document the scene with photos. It is crucial that you do not sign anything or accept any settlement from an insurance company without first speaking with a lawyer.
How is child custody determined in Florida?
Florida courts determine timesharing based on the "best interests of the child." This involves evaluating approximately 20 statutory factors, including the parents' mental and physical health, the child's established routine, and each parent's ability to facilitate a relationship with the other parent.
