Simply the BEST!

Camy Schawm Wilcox and her team are some of the best family law attorneys in Central Florida. Camy handled my divorce and dependency case involving a termination of parental rights. I believe Camy is the only family law attorney in Central Florida who could have achieved the outcome we did, most atto...rneys in the area were simply not qualified or willing to take on a case this complicated. Camy was on top of everything from day one and addressed every curveball thrown at us with speed and efficiency, (and boy were there a lot of them). Camy is very honest and straightforward with her thoughts and opinions. Personally, I love that! I never found myself wondering what she meant when she said something. I tend to be blunt myself and appreciate direct communication. Camy can absolutely be aggressive in court when she needs to be however she’s also very respectful and courteous to all parties involved in your cases. Camy works very hard for her clients and makes it a point not to engage in unethical or unprofessional behavior. Even when the opposing side is engaging in this type of behavior Camy maintains her integrity. Time and time again, the outcomes in the end were a good reflection of her professional behavior. This certainly doesn’t go unnoticed by the judges or their assistants either. To say Camy is a hard worker is an understatement!! She is a machine!! Camy and her team always communicated with me regularly. Camy even worked my case from her mother’s hospital bedside when it became necessary and it wasn’t uncommon to see an email come through during the evening hours. That said, when there’s nothing really happening (which happens a lot in the court system), Camy NEVER bombarded me with trivial things just to bill hours. If everything was quiet, then everything was quiet. This can be nerve wracking, however running up your bill with unnecessary questions and comments when there’s no reason would be nerve wracking as well. Camy, associate attorney Leah, paralegals Gio and Shannon, and firm administrator Debbie are an incredible team of professionals who worked tirelessly for my family. They are absolutely the ONLY attorneys who could have done what they needed to do to protect innocent children from being placed in harm’s way due to a biological connection. I highly recommend Camy and her team to anyone who needs a family law attorney or an attorney for a dependency case. I haven’t had a need for representation in any of the other areas of law that the firm practices in, but I wouldn’t hesitate to call them should the need arise. Camy doesn’t take on cases in areas of the law that she isn’t familiar with and if something happens to come up that she isn’t familiar with, (as it did in my cases) she never hesitated to reach out to a colleague for assistance. That speaks volumes about her character to me. My cases certainly were not considered “normal” circumstances and this firm fought long and hard for my family until we were ALL safe. For our family, they are Superheroes!! I still think of these ladies often and my youngest still asks about them and misses them too! After going through something like we did with an amazing team of “Superheroes” standing beside us throuought the duration, there is a fondness in my heart almost like that of family that just can't be explained in words. Thank you Camy Wilcox and Associates for all you do!! The slogan on their website without a doubt sums it up “When you're going through your worst, we are at our Best”

Be happy Camy!

I am very grateful Camy for the successful work. It was well organized and very professional. Her help was invaluable. I was always aware of the progress of my case and I really felt support from the lawyer and her team. I would highly recommend Camy Beth Schwam-Wilcox for anyone.

Camy Beth Schwam-Wilcox is the only one you need!

My experience...had what I believe to be one of the worst divorce attorneys. Had a very negative experience with two divorce attorneys before finding Camy Wilcox and her staff. Camy Wilcox immediately took corrective action to protect me as her client. The entire office was always professional and ...ensured that communication was timely, accurate, and thorough. I never expected miracles, what I sought from my attorney was to represented fairly, ethically, and professionally. I highly recommend Camy Beth Schwam-Wilcox and her staff to anyone in need of a solid family divorce lawyer. Camy Wilcox is a credit to her profession.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

Words are just not enough to express my gratitude for Camy and her staff. From the moment you walk in to their office, you feel welcomed and heard. I interviewed 4 prospects to take my difficult case and Camy was the only one that truly listened and actually heard me. There is no sugar-coating or ..."fluff" with Camy, she will tell you exactly what you are facing and what your worst and best case scenarios are. She never allowed me to have an unrealistic expectation. She asked the hard questions and made me really dig into and figure out what I was looking for. During mediation and all the hearings before trial, her and her team showed up with their "A" game! I was blown away at the professionalism, organization and preparedness. Camy was a champion for my daughter when I started to waiver out of fear and exhaustion. She always reminded me of the end goal but ALWAYS let the final decisions be mine. We were able to settled before trial - because of this team. I had NO DOUBT that we would have prevailed in trial, as well. A big shout out to her staff...ALWAYS welcoming, always kind and NEVER made me feel like my questions were invalid or like I was bothering them. Everyone in this office understands that we could have hired anyone and we chose them. One of the best decisions I have ever made for the well being of myself and my daughter. I am forever indebted.
