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.

Great Attorney

Had a great experience with Bill, he was professional, honest and seemed like he genuinely cared about my interest in my case. When I met him I explained my goals and he provided the best path possible to attain those goals, all while setting realistic expectations for my case. Having an attorney tha...t was easy to communicate with, who promptly answered questions and provided updates without having to chase him down was great. Truly was a pleasure to work with. Thanks Bill.

Posted by Laura | June 21, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Highly recommended!

Patience and understanding is everything you could hope for when you find yourself in need of an attorney, but I was met with so much more from Mr. Rosenfelt and his wife, Marlo. My court case took every bit of six months, and during that stressful time, I needed someone who knew what they were doing..., but would also go about it the right way. Mr. Rosenfelt operates with realistic goals and a fair approach which is refreshing. He remained consistent with thoroughness and his professionalism throughout my case. Being involved in a court case or needing an attorney is admittedly not in my wheelhouse, so I had questions about the process. Mr. Rosenfelt was quick to answer those questions, and I was never made to feel like I was bothering him. From start to finish, I felt the process was easy for the most part, but I give that credit to Mr. Rosenfelt for making it that way. I very much appreciated the time and effort put in to my case and I highly recommend him!

5 star lawyer

Bill handle my case like a true professional. He is kind, patient, do whatever it takes to win the case and at the end we did. Thank you bill for all your help.

Genuine attorney that gets results!

Bill had all of the right qualities in an attorney for this potentially daunting process. He is real and direct but also empathetic. He had all the contacts necessary to handle what could have been a financially confusing process and we wrapped up the entire process in less than 6 months without need...ing to go to trial. I am extremely grateful for his time and how quickly he would respond. There is nobody better to have in your corner!

Fantastic lawyer - high integrity

I was really impressed with Bill Rosenfelt. He was extremely responsive, i had a consulting appointment within a day or two. He was able to get an understand my situation quickly and gave me some good advice. Most impressively though -and that speaks to his high integrity as a lawyer - he ultimatel...y suggested that I seek the help of a large law firm as my case would be so complicated that I would be betters served with a firm with the capacity of many associates. It showed me that Bill has MY best interests in mind and not interested in simply making money off a client. I was super impressed by that. For that reason alone, I would highly recommend Bill Rosenfelt. The advice he gave me during our consultation was solid as well. THANK YOU BILL ROSENFELT!

"I endorse this lawyer. I recently worked with Bill as an opposing counsel on a divorce case and he was wonderful to work with. Although we were on opposite sides of the case, he was a respectful advocate for his client. He was always very responsive to requests and communication, making it possible to move the case forward quickly and efficiently. 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."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Rosenfelt since before he began law school. I know him to be a highly intelligent and especially resourceful person. He has always been a very conscientious advocate who pursues his clients cases with the utmost diligence and hard work. Having known Mr. Rosenfelt as long as I have, I can say from personal experience that above all else he is an extremely hard worker and he wins his cases because of his high capabilities combined with an unbeatable work ethic. Unlike many other attorneys, Mr. Rosenfelt is a very humble person who takes individual interest in every person he represents."
