I have been practicing law since 1991 and became licensed to practice in Florida in 1995. I have limited my practice to family law matters so I am able to provide my clients with focused advice and guidance. I strongly believe in the preservation of families whenever possible and make every effort to guide my clients to make choices that have the least negative impact on their children and themselves.
I practice family law because I think people are fascinating and complex; I love helping them. I try to remain cognizant that my clients are, perhaps, not at their best when they see me and that they need someone to guide them. They need to trust that thier attorney is not only on their side, but also is interested in thier long term well-being. I do not encourage clients to litigate and I make every effort to educate my clients so they do not persist in seeking unreasonable results. I know there are many, many other lawyers for my clients to choose and I am grateful when they place their trust and confidence in me.
On a personal level, my philosophy is that life is too short and there is too little time to take in the beauty of it all. Difficult times are experienced by all of us, universally, and we have no option other than to endure them and move forward. There is no other choice.

Expensive for no results
Hired Mrs. Jefferis for my divorce, she takes proud on being a certified lawyer, therefore, her fees are very high. Billing is super fast but service is really poor, nobody answer your calls or emails, after 15 months I had to get a new lawyer to handle my case. Don't waste your time or money and sav...

Impossible to get ahold of.
I tried to work with Audrey for 6 months. Quick to bill slow to return calls and enter paperwork work. Once I hired a new lawyer my case really started. Wasted thousands of dollars and 6 months of my life.

Nothing done, waste of time and money.
Her staff was rude. She was incompetent and disorganized. She accomplished absolutely nothing in 8 months.

Don't waste your time and money!
I hired Audrey for a year to deal with a custody modification. In that year, she was prompt to collect her fees, and the discovery requests my ex was pelting me with. Yet, after she fired me for using a crowd funding site to be able to pay her additional trial retainer fees (because she was unable t...

Not happy
Audrey made ALOT of promises but never kept them... she was NEVER available and basically told me off for making several attempts to contact her. Several problems with putting together the final order, so much that it took about a month to get things right! She talks the talk but DOES NOT walk the ...
