Camy Beth Schwam-Wilcox
About Camy
Biography
I have been an attorney since 2000. I love my career because I enjoy helping people with their legal problems and navigating through the legal system. I was a paralegal prior to attending law school at a labor and employment firm, and I knew I wanted to do more to help people problem solve; I wanted to be the voice when they were unable to speak up for themselves. I relocated to Florida to attend the University of Central Florida where I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature before I received my Juris Doctorate Degree from Nova Southeastern University. I started my attorney career as a prosecutor in Orange County Florida. I prosecuted cases in Criminal Traffic, Misdemeanor, Juvenile and Felony before I went into private practice. I enjoy problem solving for my clients, and ensuring that their due process rights are not being violated. I practice in Family Law, Collaborative Law, Adoption (domestic) Bankruptcy, Criminal Defense, Dependency and Wills. Our team at Schwam-Wilcox & Associates strives to do our very best at all times, and to be sure to serve the needs of our clients. Our client's feel as if they are our only client, and they are always important to us. We pride ourselves on communication and attention to detail. We appreciate every opportunity to assist people with their legal needs. Our team is also very active in the legal and non-legal community. Schwam-Wilcox & Associates holds 2 food drives each year to help fill a local food pantry to ensure the members of our community have something to eat for themselves and their children. Our team volunteers to perform legal work for the people who qualify and for children who need a voice.
I am not only an attorney, but I am also a Florida Supreme Court Family Law Certified Mediator and a Guardian Ad Litem. I like to help people in their time of need, I like to change my clients’' feelings of despair into hope and joy. Legal matters are very stressful, emotional and can be expensive; however, if you have an attorney on your side that you can trust, you will be in a better place during your legal challenges. I am honest, upfront, trustworthy, and I would appreciate the opportunity to work with you to achieve your legal goals. I cannot make any promises regarding an outcome in your case; however, I can promise to give you respect, diligence, the truth (if you want to hear it or not, there is no "candy-coating") hard work and dedication to your case. You will never be a number, and you will always be able to reach part of your team to discuss your case.
You are the team leader on your case, we are the hired help. We are the "advisors" that give you the legal options and you make a decision on how you want to run your case, it is your life and your children. We will tell you what we think is the best choices for your legal strategy according to the facts of your case, and you will ultimately tell us which of the strategies presented to you that you want to use on your legal matter.
I have a significant amount of trial experience as a prosecutor and as a private attorney. I have practiced all over the state of Florida from Colombia County to Miami-Dade. I have my main office in Orlando, and have office space to use in Kissimmee and The Villages for clients that have cases in those areas. I have an attorney and assistant at the office that speak Spanish.

She Knows What she is doing
I had Camy for my bankruptcy case. She was very helpful and any questions that I asked, she would explain them to me so that I could understand them. Her and her staff were respectful and they knew their stuff. She was there at my hearing and was very helpful. If I need a lawyer again, I would ...
