Florida — Statewide
An expert read on the strategy you’re already paying for.
Independent attorney review of your active Florida family law case — pleadings, financial picture, parenting plan, motion history, settlement posture.
When a strategy review is the right move
- •Mediation or a settlement conference is on the calendar and you want a sanity check before signing.
- •Your case has been active 6+ months and you're unsure whether the trajectory still serves you.
- •You've been handed a settlement offer that looks reasonable on paper but feels off.
- •The motion practice is escalating and the running cost no longer matches the strategic plan.
- •Your counsel is performing competently — you just want an independent expert read for confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
What is a family law strategy review?
An expert, independent attorney reads your active Florida case file — pleadings, financial affidavits, parenting plan drafts, motion history, prior orders — and returns a written strategy report identifying leverage points, exposure, and the highest-value next moves. It is advisory only; I do not appear in court or substitute as counsel.
How is a strategy review different from a consultation?
A consultation is a conversation about your situation, usually before counsel is retained. A strategy review is a document-based review of an already-active case — your record, your current lawyer's filings, the opposing side's posture — and ends in a written report, not just a call.
Do I have to fire my current lawyer?
No. The review is independent and confidential. Most clients keep their current counsel and use the report privately to ask sharper questions, evaluate settlement offers, or prepare for mediation. Some share it with counsel; that is your call.
What does it cost?
$500 flat-fee intake review within five business days, which assigns your case to one of four complexity bands ($3,500 / $7,500 / $12,500 / $19,500). The $500 credits toward the band fee. Band assignment is the attorney's call, never the client's.
How fast can you deliver before my mediation?
Standard turnaround is 14 business days. Expedited (7 business days, +$2,000) and Rush (72 hours, +$3,500) are available when a Florida mediation or hearing date is imminent.
Is a Florida family law strategy review confidential?
Yes. The engagement is covered by attorney-client privilege and work-product protection. I do not contact your current lawyer or opposing counsel without your written authorization.
