• Free Consultation
  I offer complimentary consultations for individuals seeking legal advice in property, family, and business matters. During this session, we'll discuss your specific situation, explore potential solutions, and address any initial questions you may have. This allows us to assess your needs and determine how I can assist you effectively.
• Credit Cards Accepted
• Contingent Fees
  Under my contingent fee arrangement, clients only pay legal fees if we successfully resolve their case. This model aligns our interests, ensuring that I am motivated to achieve a favorable outcome. The fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or court award, providing a risk-free option for clients seeking representation in property, family, or business legal matters.
• Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
  Beyond the contingent fee arrangement, clients may incur additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness fees, or other case-specific expenses. I am transparent about these potential charges and discuss them upfront, ensuring clients are informed about the full scope of potential expenses related to their legal representation.

Q. Can my ex pick my daughter up on my weekend per court agreement just cause I work for few hours and she’ll be with my gf

December 8, 2023

A: Typically, visitation agreements are established by court orders. If your court order doesn't explicitly prohibit your daughter from being with your girlfriend or being left with your mom during your scheduled parenting time, it's advisable to adhere to the terms outlined in the court order. If there's uncertainty or conflict, you might want to consult with your attorney to discuss the situation and seek clarification from the court if necessary. Keep records of any communications with your ex regarding these matters.

Q. My boyfriend just moved out. He left things that he says he wants to come back for. He is not on the lease.

December 8, 2023

A: In Florida, property rights and disputes between unmarried cohabitants are generally governed by principles of contract law and property ownership. Since your boyfriend is not on the lease, and if you have proof of purchase for the items he wants to take, you may have a stronger legal claim to those items.

Florida law may recognize the concept of "sole ownership" if you can demonstrate that you purchased and own the items in question. You should gather all relevant receipts, records, and evidence of your payments to support your claim.

Regarding your boyfriend's threat to involve the police, law enforcement might be reluctant to intervene in a civil dispute over personal property. However, it's crucial to remain calm and cooperative if the police become involved. Be prepared to present evidence of ownership and calmly explain the situation.

If you are concerned about his actions and wish to seek legal protection, you may consider obtaining a restraining order or filing for an injunction to prevent him from entering your property. An attorney can guide you through the specific procedures and requirements for obtaining such orders in Florida. ... Read More
