About The Attorney
I was born in Newark, New Jersey. I attended the University of Miami and obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in June, 1973. I earned my Law Degree from Stetson University College of Law (FL) in May, 1976. I was admitted to the Florida Bar in November, 1976. I established my own law office in 1978. My practice of law is primarily in the areas of family law plus probate, which includes preparing wills and trusts and the administration of estates. My family law practice includes dissolution/divorce, establishment of parenting plans including all time sharing (custody) aspects regarding minor children, equitable distribution of assets and liabilities, domestic violence injunctions (restraining orders), paternity actions plus modification of prior family law judgments.
I am a member of the Florida Bar and the St. Petersburg Bar Association, being involved in each of said organization's family law sections. I have been a member of Canakaris Inns of Court which is a professional organization devoted to the continuing legal education and improvement of all aspects of family law. Canakaris is comprised of family law judges, attorneys and various other experts in the field of family law. I have in the past and continue presently to consult with numerous individuals referred by COMMUNITY ACTION STOPS ABUSE (CASA), assisting them in their difficult family law matters emanating from domestic violence issues.
