About Timothy
Biography
I have been practicing law in Lake County, Florida for nearly 25 years, with my practice centered on all aspects of family law. My firm is prepared to handle cases at any stage of litigation, primarily encompassing the issues of divorce, child custody, support, paternity, and domestic violence. I also handle cases with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and the Department of Revenue (DOR), as well as modification proceedings.
As a Florida Supreme Court certified family law mediator, I have conducted thousands of mediations. As a result, I am well-versed in various strategies to resolve any family law issues you may have, and am well prepared to take your case to trial, if necessary.
I am a past president of the Lake County Family Law Section of the Florida Bar, and have served as a judge in the Lake County Teen Court. I have lived in Lake County for over 25 years.
As to any concerns regarding the notice of disciplinary action, I would note that the issue had absolutely nothing to do with a client, the practice of law, or any form of dishonesty. I would be happy to respond to any questions that you have in this regard.
