My office is located in Lake County and we are currently accepting cases in Orange, Lake, Citrus and Sumter counties.
Very successful results for both contested and uncontested divorces, military divorces, child support enforcement and modification, custody disputes, and paternity actions, as well as with equitable distribution and alimony or spousal support matters.
