Divorce and Separation 40%

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.

29 years | 110 cases

40%
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.

29 years | 80 cases

10%
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.

29 years | 80 cases

10%
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.

29 years | 25 cases

10%
Family 10%

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.

Gratitude in order

I don’t know what I would have done without Bill and Marlo of Rosenfelt Law with what was one of the most trying, tragic and unhinging experiences of my life, the dissolution of my 23 year marriage. The support and compassion that Rosenfelt Law offered my family and I was truly the only thing that go...t me through. I felt that Bill really handled and expedited the painful process in a way that offered comfort and ease in very uneasy times. Additionally, Marlo really kept me informed and in order while “talking me off the ledge” on numerous occasions and through the many circumstances that ending a marriage, dividing assets and co-parenting involved. I am so grateful for Rosenfelt Law’s services and support. Rosenfelt Law has really helped me on my way to restart, rebuild and renew my life. Thank you Bill and Marlo, here’s to a happy and healthy future!

William is very professional, he helped me to understand the process of divorce with children. He was a great communicator and always kept me updated. Recommend his services

Making the best of it!

When I said "I do" over 14 years ago I never expected to be divorced. But William "Bill" Rosenfelt helped me and my girls make the best of it. From the beginning, it was clear that Bill cared and wanted the best possible outcome for us. He was thorough, kind and had a "can do" attitude. His knowledge... in family law is priceless! Thank you Rosenfelt Law!

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Understanding

William is a knowledgeable professional, always ready to answer questions you may have or questions you don't know to ask, and if he doesn't have the answers immediately gets them for you. He goes out of his way to understand your situation and guide you through the processes of divorce, be they l...egal or personal(IE coping) and from his copious experience it seems there is little he hasn't seen making it easier for a smooth transition and process. He lets you know what's a good idea, a bad idea, and especially if you know little about the legal system, explains in layman's terms why something is a good or bad idea(or, if in a grey area, possible outcomes/consequences of said idea). He has high availability to his clients and keeps his focus on your goals and what it takes to move them forward. Highly recommended for folks looking for a near seamless(as it can get in a divorce, anyway) transition.

We were able to settle all issues at mediation and both clients were pleased with the final result - a task that does not come easy."
