About

I am a long-term resident of Southwest Florida, and received my undergraduate degree from St. Joseph’s College in Maine, and my law degree from Stetson University, College of Law in Gulfport, Florida. Since 2008, I have practiced family law. My approach to family law matters is to zealously represent my  clients but still maintain respect and dignity for the parents and children after the case is completed.

Barbara has gone above and beyond. She has stuck through a lot of my DCF issues and has helped me to remain in faith for my daughter. She has also protected my other little ones from the crawls of DCF. I may of not gotten my daughter Gwenith back after three years of fight for her but that's not Barbara's fault it was a error made on my behalf for choosing a attoney through the court who didn't fight hard enough for my daughter prior to meeting Barbara. It was a disadvantage for her since I was up to my trial date when DCF served me with a document that they are going to strip my rights. If I had gotten her way earlier and not of been so stupid I'm sure she would of had a fair fight. When she has taken on my case and the mess of others she knew what she was doing more than I could express. Even after my trial she has kept me updated with what's happening in the Appelette courts through the new attorney. She has even been a great listener even to my irrelevant life drama but the fact is she listens and she guides. She is a tiger. She will fight for you and your babies. She is a God gifted person.

Hiring a lawyer who did'nt have your best interest at heart...$8500. Alamony over 10 years....$45000. Hiring Barbara to fix the previous atty.'s mess....PRICELESS !! Barbara was recomended to me by another attny. who would'nt touch my case. I sent her my case file and she went to working her magic. She knew going in I had a no modification clause in the final judgement. Her skill and experience showed when she got the alamony tossed. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recomended. Thank you sooo much Barbara.. YOU ROCK!

Barbara is everything you could ask for in an attorney. She is compassionate to her clients situation & knowledgeable of the law. She did an excellent job of explaining everything & helped me to think rationally when it was very difficult for me. I felt so comfortable with Barbara. She really helped to make the best of a crummy situation. I got everything I wanted out of my divorce. I'm so glad I hired her.

Barbara was awesome in helping with my custody, child support & parenting arrangements for my case. She was very knowledgeable in family law and kept me informed throughout the process. She made me feel like a person & not just another case! Hopefully I won't need to...but she will be the first one I go to if I ever need a lawyer again.
