About Pamela
Biography
I have practiced family law in the Gainesville area for in excess of 30 years, specializing in child support, custody and divorce issues. During the last several years I have limited my practice to Collaborative Law, an innovative method designed to assist divorcing parties in dissolving their marriages by restructuring rather than destroying their families. Additionally, I am a Florida Supreme Court certified family and appellate mediator.
