Family law, divorce, custody, child support, paternity, and related matters became my primary focus of practice over 18 years ago, after I discovered the positive impact I can have on a family at one of its most difficult times.
I was first licensed in Michigan in 1982, then came to Florida in 1995 with Barnett Bank. After Barnett was sold to Bank of America, I was committed to staying in Florida and contributing to its legal community. I began working with my Senior Partner while taking Florida Bar examination in 2001. I was voted Managing Partner in July 2003, and now run the Firm's day-to-day operations after our senior partner retired in 2005.
A LAWYER’S PRAYER:
“Lord, Grant that
I may be able in Argument,
Accurate in Analysis,
Strict in Study,
Candid with Clients and
Honest with Adversaries.
Stand beside me in Court,
So that today I shall not,
In Order to win a Point,
Lose my Soul.”

Mrs. Paul helped my husband and I at a very vulnerable time in our life.
