About Nancy
Biography
I am passionately committed to working with families in crisis, and work very hard to quickly achieve the best possible results in each case. I recognize that it can be quite difficult for people to get along, and believe that it is better to be FROM a broken home, than to be IN one. It's also better to be alone than to be with the wrong person.
I have my own private practice, which has always focused exclusively on family matters. It's so important not to mess around with someone else's family, so I spend my time trying to be the best family lawyer I can be. I love working with families through very difficult and emotional situations. If I can make a difference to better a person's life, then I feel I am successful.
Before private practice, I served as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Florida in the Child Support Enforcement Division. I represented the Department of Revenue on issues of paternity and child support, whether establishment, modification or enforcement, intrastate and interstate. There were also a few international cases in my division. I handled approximately 6,000 files at any given time, and had my hands on at least 200 case files a week. I spent most of my time in court, and it was rare for me to be in the office.
I am currently a member in good standing of the Florida Bar, with past membership in the Florida Trial Lawyers Association, Marrital Lawyers Association and Broward Bar Association.
I received my law degree from St. Thomas University School of Law. My undergraduate work was completed at the University of Miami, with a double major in Political Science and Broadcast Journalism.
I raise Border Collies - sheep dogs - they are my children. I love the beach, movies, music, travel and football. I also believe there is nothing better in this world than sitting at a table with friends and family, having good food, great conversations and LOTS of laughs!
