I LOVE devising and delivering solutions that really work for my clients. I have practiced with that philosophy for 25+ years.
Clients like my no-nonsense, common sense approach because they know I have their best interest at heart. I am completely committed to making my client's divorce case as painless as possible.
If any of the concerns listed below resonate, you may be interested in discovering how to handle your case in a collaborative, cooperative, uncontested or low conflict manner:
>I'm worried my assets and life's savings will be wasted on attorney's fees
>I'm frustrated I will spend the next year or two stressed out about what is going to happen to me
>I'm concerned about the welfare of my children and the impact my divorce will have on them
My clients have reported the following results*:
>Leaving their marriage with income and assets to fully support themselves
>Happily transitioning into single life with renewed energy
>Being able to co-parent with their former spouse to further the best interest of their children
I find that most people just want a fair deal without all the drama and without having to throw away their life savings on a divorce. If that is your goal, then contact me. We will work together to try to come up with a great solution without litigation and without unnecessary delay.
As both a lawyer and Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator, I have seen firsthand the benefits that come with people who settle their case instead of litigating.
To find out more, call me. My office is located at 2063 Oak St, Jacksonville, FL 32204.
*Every case is unique and different, so past results do not guarantee future results. However, I post settlement statistics on my website so clients can see that I practice what I preach!

Excellent Experience
Working with Steve Leitman was such a positive experience. His professionalism and kind but deliberate approach helped make my divorce a bit less painful.

One of the Best!
Divorce is never easy and after nearly 25 years of marriage that was coming to an end, I needed sound advice and a friend to help guide me - I got both of these in spades!

Excellent Experience During a Difficult Time
I found Steven while doing an internet search for a Collaborative or Uncontested Divorce. From the moment I reached out to him, I knew I was in excellent hands.
