About Gale
Biography
I am a problem solver. I take a personal and direct approach with my clients. I explain all the options and educate you on the various aspects of your case so that you can make the best decision possible for your family. I love being a lawyer especially litigating in the courtroom but I know that my best work is actually done outside of Court. In those instances, I help my clients manuveur through the process as efficiently as possible, understand what is going to happen and often time I negotiate a settlement to an otherwise difficult time in their lives. With a background in litigation I have learned that resolving cases outside of Court is the best option for most people. That is why I am also certified by the Florida Supreme Court to mediate family law cases and why I am an active member of the collaborative divorce movement. I am very grateful that over the years I've been allowed the opportunity to help so many folks resolve their family law matters.
Board Certified Family and Marital Lawyer focused on the issues that matter most to you.
Practice areas include: alimony, child custody & support, contempt, divorce, mediation & paternity.

Great Attorney!
I hired attorney Moore for my second divorce and she was outstanding.

Experienced and Expedient
After my case had dragged on for an eternity, I hired Gale Moore. Not only was the case resolved quickly, she got a much better result than the "best-case scenario" I was promised by my previous attorney. Not only that, but she handled it in a way that I knew exactly what was happening at each stage...

She Save My Life
Divorce was the worst thing that ever happened in my life. Miss Moore not only helped me through it, getting the best outcome in a fast time, but she did it in a caring and kind way that really helped me deal with this tough time. When it came time to play hardball with the other side, she did. Bu...

Knowlegeable and Trustworthy
I hired Ms. Moore to help me in my child custody case. It was clear that she was very knowledgeable about the laws and rules involved in my case.
