Practice areas

OtherChild supportChild custodyFamilyDivorce and separation
  1. Divorce and separation: 50%

    Divorce/Separation can and frequently includes child custody, child support, and family law. So the percentages that I've got broken down for those "subcategories" are lower than they actually are. It is best to contact me for a free consultation to discuss your case to see whether you feel that I am qualified to assist you.

    23 years, 110 cases

  2. Family: 20%

    Family Law is a very broad term for nearly everything that can affect a family. Every category listed arguably falls under Family Law. So do Supplemental Modifications of Final Judgments and contempt/enforcement moand Domestic Violence Injunctions. The percentage of my Family Law cases are underrepresented because of the format that I'm required to use here. It is best to contact me for a free consultation to discuss your case to see whether you feel that I am qualified to assist you.

    23 years, 120 cases

  3. Child custody: 10%

    Child custody is frequently just one issue out of several involved in Divorce/ or Family Law cases. Therefore, the percentages are misleading because "child custody" is actually an issue for Divorce cases (sometimes) as well as frequently "Family Law." Litigating child custody or "time-sharing" issues in Florida represents much more than 10% of my practice. It is best to contact me for a free consultation to discuss your case to see whether you feel that I am qualified to assist you.

    23 years, 80 cases

  4. Child support: 10%

    Child support is frequently just one issue out of several involved in Divorce or Family Law cases. Therefore, the percentages are misleading because "child support" is actually an issue for Divorce cases (sometimes) as well as frequently "Family Law." Litigating child custody or "time-sharing" issues in Florida represents much more than 10% of my practice. It is best to contact me for a free consultation to discuss your case to see whether you feel that I am qualified to assist you.

    23 years, 80 cases

  1. Domestic violence: 10%

    Domestic Violence cases, injunctions and hearings on injunctions form a significant portion of my Family Law experience. Often, Domestic Violence is intertwined with other Family Law matters such as Divorce and Paternity Actions. It is best to contact me for a free consultation to discuss your case to see whether you feel that I am qualified to assist you.

Review William Rosenfelt

A True Partner in the Family Law Realm

Posted by

It is certainly an understatement that the stress of a family legal matter can be indescribable and nearly as heavy of a burden as a parent can face; With that said, Bill had a genuine characteristic about him that eased the weight. His communication style was direct and unfaltering and most importantly, I felt reassured that he was advocating to the best interest of my son, always. With the particular circumstances of my case, congruent with my previous experience of the legal system, I had retracted to little faith in the proceedings, but with Bill as a true partner, I felt a sense of restoration that deemed priceless. Although there is never a guarantee of an optimal result, the level of hope that was instilled, was enough to prove that nothing is impossible. With representation of an attorney as motivated, knowledgeable and time conscious as Bill, the positive outcome seemed more attainable. I am certainly grateful that a referral led me to Bill as my attorney.
