Sarasota Family Law Lawyer
Overview
Before becoming an attorney, I was personally involved in a divorce where we were able to come to an amicable out-of-court settlement, and I was personally involved in a second divorce where my former husband was unwilling to cooperate in an amicable out-of-court settlement resulting in complex, protracted divorce litigation. I have seen the difference between the two and the consequences of each...

Before becoming an attorney, I was personally involved in a divorce where we were able to come to an amicable out-of-court settlement, and I was personally involved in a second divorce where my former husband was unwilling to cooperate in an amicable out-of-court settlement resulting in complex, protracted divorce litigation. I have seen the difference between the two and the consequences of each. If an out-of-court settlement can be reached without lengthy litigation, it is better for everyone involved. But, if that’s not possible, then I am prepared to fight the tough battles. Because of my experiences, I can identify with and empathize with my clients going through the process. I personally know what it is like to experience the frustration of working through the court system. My goal is to protect my clients from avoiding the pitfalls in the process, so that they get the best possible outcome for their situation.
I graduated from Stetson University College of Law and the University of South Florida where I graduated, summa cum laude, with a degree in Mass Communications. I have a broad background in a variety of businesses, including banking, real estate, retail, accounting, and television news. I even had my own public affairs talk show. In addition, I had the exciting experience of running for political office where I honed my public speaking skills which serves me well in representing my clients in court.
I have served on a number of boards and committees throughout my career. Currently, I am a member of the City of Sarasota’s Human Relations Board, President of the Regency Condominium Association Board of Directors, and the Chair of the Alimony Guidelines Subcommittee of the Florida Bar.
I am a member of the Florida Bar, the American Bar Association, Sarasota County Bar Association, and the Hillsborough County Bar Association. I am authorized to appear and practice in all of the state courts in Florida.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
