As a country lawyer, I have the pleasure (and challenge) of mastering many fields of law. In one day, I may spend the morning negotiating a business contract, and the afternoon litigating the custody of a two-year old. I mightbe prosecuting a boundary dispute on land in the morning, and helping someone probate their late mother's estate in the afternoon. Sometimes, I practice at night, appearing before a governing body or board with a zoning matteror property tax appeal. Most attorneys are forced to specialize in order to remain competitive: I am blessed to practice law in a small community that requires its few lawyers to be well-versed in many fields.
My goal is to have my clients and my community say of me that I provide wise counsel and firm representation.
I am not certified by Florida as a specialist, but I do practice in the following areas of law: General civil litigation; Construction litigation; Real estate litigation; Probate and probate litigation; Landlord-Tenant issues;Elder law; Family issues, including divorces, custody, child support, alimony, adoption, enforcement of out-of-state orders, grandparent's rights, and removal or placement of children; Creditor's rights; and Land use and zoning.
