What the practice does in Miami

Carolan Family Law is an advisory family law practice based in Miami and serving Florida statewide. The work is strategic rather than procedural. I read the case, tell you where it actually stands, and help you decide the next move before it becomes hard to undo.

Every engagement begins with one phone call. On that call we decide together which of the five engagements fits, or whether you need nothing from me at all.

Five ways Miami clients use the practice

  • Second Opinion

    An independent written review of your active Miami-Dade case. You keep your current lawyer. I will not take the case over, which is exactly why the read is worth having.

  • Private Counsel

    Ongoing strategic counsel behind the scenes, never counsel of record, for people who want a senior second brain through a long matter.

  • Presuit Negotiation

    Advocacy at the table before anything is filed, so the matter can resolve without the courthouse.

  • Online Mediation

    A neutral session with both parties together, held before a case exists.

  • Prenups and postnups

    Florida prenuptial and postnuptial agreements drafted or reviewed.

Common questions

The Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Miami-Dade is home ground, and the practice covers Broward and Palm Beach as well. Twenty-two years of Florida complex marital and family cases means I know how these divisions tend to move and what local practice expects.

No. The practice is advisory. I do not appear at hearings, do not file motions, and do not handle emergency relief. If you need a litigator of record, I will say so on the call.

The practice is remote by design, which is why it can serve Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and the rest of Florida on the same footing. Every engagement begins with a phone call to 305.358.2330.

Yes. That is what the Second Opinion and Private Counsel engagements are for. You keep your lawyer of record and get an independent read on where the case actually stands.

Yes, on an advisory basis: reviewing proposed parenting plans, testing a time-sharing position, and preparing you for mediation or a settlement conversation.

Yes. Consultations run in English or Spanish. Say which you prefer when you call.

Fees are scoped at your consultation, in writing, before any work begins.
