About Dawne
Biography
I graduated from Law School with Honors at the top 10% of my class. Since then I have pursued my profession with passion, energy and enthusiasm. I enjoy helping people through the legal issues that arise in their lives. As a Public Defender I handled literally thousands of cases and took many to trial with positive results. Even as a PubIic Defender, the vast majority of my clients deeply appreciated the hard work I did for them, and I frequently got letters expressing this gratitude. I prided myself on that fact. I left the PD office so that I could lower my case numbers and give my clients even more commitment, time and attention. I am now free to do things 'my way' and provide my clients with the best representation possible. I do not shrink from a challenge. I work very hard for my clients and I promise to use my best efforts to get you the result you want!
While I have served the criminal law community for years, I am now happy to be adding Family Law to the services I offer, and plan to focus at least half of my time to family matters such as Child Support, Child Custody and Divorce.
Lastly, I do not like saying "no" to people! I have seen first hand the devastation that not having a lawyer can bring, particularly in Criminal and Family Law matters. I want to help you avoid the pitfalls of "representing yourself" when so much is on the line. Therefore, I work hard to fit my fee into your budget. Call me today!

Dawn is AMAZING
Dawn has been very helpful, knowledgeable and attentive to me as a lawyer. She cares about my case personally and is always willing to listen. We are early in our case, so I can tell you the outcome, but I trust her experience, her determination and her empathy to lead me to a successful end.

Caring Attorney
My Fiancee and I retained the services of Dawne Ducarpe last year to assist us in a child support and alimony case. We live outside of Florida so we were very concerned how we would be able to interact with an attorney out of State. Dawne was extremely helpful with this concern! She kept in touch ...
