Juvenile Law 65%

Let me help you through this emotional process. Juvenile Dependency Law is designed to protect children from abuse & neglect. Parents are entitled to legal representation through every step of the process. It is a complex and emotionally charged area of the law. In Florida, these cases are usually initiated upon a child being "sheltered" (removed from the parents' or legal guardians' custody) by the state due to the states fear that a child is being mistreated, or neglected.

Workers Compensation 35%

I focus my practice on helping employees injured on the job. I have represented the injured worker for the past 11 1/2 years. Before becoming a Claimant's attorney to help the injured worker I represented the employers and insurance carriers.

lawyer who has your best interest always

I was originaly with ms. rodgruise partner, Tanya Mayes. When ms. mayes was called to duty in our military, she gladly step into her shoes and took my case. She was remarkable and so good. I had a tuff case to reunify with my child and she worked magic with the courts, my son and myself. she kept me ...focused and gave moral support. everyone but the judge was against this union and it all came out a win situation with my son who now resides with me in my home full time and no longer with the court system. I lived out of state, so getting back and forth to florida was hard for me, but through her help, and courts, we made prior arrangements so my attendence went as ordered. She has a para-legal named Patty who is a wonder in the office and keeps her looking good and her case load needing nothing except her voice in court. Together they make a fantastic team. I have loved having her work for me in my best interest and always had only the best for my defense needed. Always prepared for court and ready to go for the win. I reccomend Ms. Rodrigues for all your needs and services. She will get the job done
