Violent Crime 20%

I held the contract with the State of Florida to represent indigent defendants who could not be represented by the public defender's office. I accept cases involving all major crimes except 1st degree murder in which the state is seeking the death penalty.

Child Abuse 10%

I am a former attorney for the Department of Children and Families with the State of Florida. I have had the advantage of viewing these cases from the perspective of the Department as well as the parents and children. The total case number encompasses both perspectives. While I am no longer willing to contract with the state to represent parents , I still accept private hire cases in this area.

Your ex will be lucky you retained her

She's unprofessional. Doesn't return phone calls or even acknowledge emails let alone reply to them. Instead I got lies about emails not going thru, etc. She allowed my ex- to get away w/ violating agreement, and agreed to his terms without consulting ME! Too unconcerned to fight for anything but he...r fees. She got well paid but didn't earn what she charged. And she held up distribution of my settlement funds for months due to her lack of understanding of basic accounting. Her behavior as my legal representative is a disgraceful. Steer clear. I want to leave zero stars.

Posted by Anna on behalf of my sister | April 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Real case

This lawyer is uneducated and sloppy. A lawyer's looks can be an indication of professionalism. Beware some of these reviews are not real. However this case is. She talked a good talk and then began making deals with the other lawyer that her client wasn't in agreement with. She said she had to ...do this when both parties refuse to work together. My sister was not willing to budge and leave her nursed daughter alone in the care of a substance abuser known to pass out in his lawn. When my sister fired Roxanne, she refused to return my sister's money. She also threatened my sister that if she thought she was getting screwed just wait, they have rules of their own in Citrus County and if my sister hires an out of county attorney the Judge (Carol Falvey) will school that attorney on Citrus County way.
