About

I have practiced family law in Florida since 1985.  During that time I have handled many dissolutions of marriage (divorces), which frequently include multiple issues, such as custody/time-sharing, visitation, alimony, child support and equitable distribution of real and personal property, including retirement accounts.  I have also handled many paternity cases, which of course involve all of the above except alimony and equitable distribution.  I also represent clients in enforcement actions, when the other party is not living up to the Agreement/Order. While in practice I have also served on the Eighth Judicial Circuit Board of Directors and the Eighth Circuit Grievance Committee.  I was the founding president of the local chapter of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers, and I have received two awards for my pro bono work. Sometimes I represent the man, and sometimes I represent the woman -- I do not discriminate.

Ms Fox helped me with a divorce. I had been separated for over 20 years and she was very helpful and knowledgeable about what I would be responsible for. There was real property and retirement money in question. She was very fair with her fees and always answered questions timely. Her and her assistant were always very prompt and professional.

Mrs. Fox (and her staff) are very kind, compassionate, patient, knowledgeable, and supportive in all aspects of a legal process. I felt very comfortable explaining my situation and asking any questions at any time.

My case was unusually lengthy and difficult and Ms. Fox was always responsive, professional, and I was happy with the resolution of my case. Ms. Fox is highly ethical and fair in her pricing. I would definitely recommend.

Kathleen drew up the draft modification that went through several revisions before it was finally accepted. The process was drawn out far longer than anticipated due to extenuating circumstances. Kathleen kept her focus and prodded me to keep the dialogue moving forward. I am very satisfied with her advice and work.

Kathleen was referred to me by a co-worker. She handled my divorce in 2017 and advised me once again in 2018 to enforce my final judgement. I can’t express how much I appreciated her insight, follow through and attention to detail. After 23 years of marriage, I gained a level of knowledge as to what I was legally entitled to as we worked through the process. I will be forever grateful to Kathleen for enhancing my a level of confidence; more importantly, her friendship and professional guidance.

Kathleen Fox handled my divorce several years ago. She was recommended to me by friends and family who said she was good--and tough. And they were right. I always felt informed--she took the time to help me understand all that was going on, and I felt like I had someone on my side. Five out of five stars if you need a family law attorney.

I hired Ms. Fox to handle a divorce for me. I was extremely devastated during the time I worked with her. She was very compassionate about my situation. She also gave me very good advice which helped actually save my marriage. We have since reconciled & are doing very well. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Ms. Fox again if ever needed.

Mrs. Fox was an excellent attorney for me and my family during one of our most difficult times. She was always available and present whenever called upon. Mrs. Fox and her staff made me feel safe.

I hired Mrs. Fox as my Divorce Attorney in 2015. Not only does she have poise and presence in the courtroom but also morals and common sense. When I was emotional and overwhelmed, she was able to get all my information organized and present it to the Judge. My favorite thing about her is her hat. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "a wearer of many hats." She has a caring neighbor "hat", a wise woman "hat", a courtroom "hat", a red hat, a black hat and many others. All of which give her poise and classiness.

I had Kathleen represent me in a very tumultuous and contested divorce. She not only was very knowledgeable but also very thorough. Her dealimgs with the opposing lawyers was always stern and unrelenting. Which is exactly what you need in a situation like mine. I would highly recommend Kathleen and her staff for hire.
