Biography

I have been practicing family law exclusively since 2007. I've never done anything else, because I understand how important it is to know what you are doing when you are dealing with someone's family. I have personal experience with my own broken family, and bring that experience with me to better serve my clients who may be faced with the same or similar situation. I also worked for the Florida Attorney General in Child Support Enforcement for about three years. If you are dealing with the Department of Revenue and child support, I may be able to help you.

A: Move immediately to have the order enforced. You may be able to recover attorney fees for the necessity of having to file this motion.
Q. Can I called to cancel back child support on my kids farther. Cause he has other kids that he is trying toe help
