Practice Areas

Divorce and Separation 50%

My cases have included divorce, child custody and relocation, child support, alimony, etc...domestic violence, extended family custody, prenuptial agreements, division of family businesses etc... I work with my client in developing a strategy to motivate his/her spouse to settle out of court. If negotiations fail, we aggressively prepare for trial. Communication between myself, my staff and the client is the key. We settle 90% of cases. I also am a family law mediator.

Alimony Modification

We retained Marina Taylor to represent us in an alimony modification case. With her knowledge and no-nonsense approach she has given us a better chance for the outcome we are seeking. Ms. Taylor thinks outside the box while sticking to the facts. Not only was she able to prove a decrease in our cir...cumstances she was able to prove a substantial increase in the ex’s circumstances. I would highly recommend Ms. Taylor for your family law needs.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Probation issued in FL, 2008

updated on 06/26/2012

Probation means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The Bar monitors the lawyer's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Marina’s comment:

“I had a client who paid me $1500.00 on a credit card to negotiate a predivorce settlement with his Wife and her attorney so she would not file for divorce. I was nice to his Wife and was successful. He tried to get his money back and told the cc company that I was too nice to his Wife. I told cc company he had been verbally abusive to his Wife. The Bar said this was a breach of client of confidentiality to cc company. I was cited w/ minor misconduct.”
