Florida Family Law Second Opinion · Services · Miami
Florida second opinion services, three core ways in.
Second Opinion review, monthly Private Counsel, and Presuit Advisory — anchored in Miami, available across Florida. Consultations and prenups still available alongside.
Service 01
Second Opinion Review
An independent expert read on your active Florida case — represented or self-represented, filed or pre-filing.
$750 strategy audit. Within five business days, you receive a written letter assigning the matter to one of four complexity bands — Foundation, Active Case, High-Conflict, or War Room — with the corresponding flat fee. The letter is valid for 14 days. The $750 credits toward the engagement if you proceed.
Each band includes a written report, posture analysis, strategy options, and two 30-minute video calls. Standard turnaround is 30 days; Expedited (10 days, +$2,000) and Rush (5 days, +$3,500) options are available. Expedited and Rush add-on fees are charged at countersignature and are non-refundable once work begins.
Service 02
Private Counsel
Hire me as a consultant behind the scenes — monthly, flat fee.
Three monthly tiers — Starter ($1,500), Standard ($3,500), Premium ($7,500) — built for Florida family law clients who want an expert strategist inside the case without changing counsel of record. Auto-billed on the 5th. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice. Fees deemed earned upon receipt.
Available to two audiences: represented Florida clients who want shadow strategy between billable touchpoints, and self-represented clients negotiating their own divorce who want premium expertise without full representation.
Service 03
Presuit Strategy Advisory
Resolve the matter before anyone files.
Limited-scope representation under Florida Rule 2.505. I draft, review terms, coach you through the conversation, and file in your own name through Final Judgment. I do not appear in court. I do not become counsel of record.
Flat fee per matter, scoped at engagement. Right for couples who want a complete, lawful resolution without litigation — and who are willing to do the back-and-forth themselves with my guidance.
Service 04
Consultations
A direct conversation with an expert Florida family law attorney.
Two tiers
- Quick Read— 45 minutes —$495one specific question, one direct answer
- Full Picture— 75 minutes —$795full landscape of your situation
Online, flat fee, paid before the meeting. Florida only.
Service 05
Prenups & Postnups
Carefully drafted agreements under Florida law.
I draft, review, and negotiate Florida prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. I do not litigate enforcement. Flat fee per matter, scoped at consultation.
Conflict-Free Positioning
The advice is unconflicted.
Unlike traditional litigators whose fees grow with conflict and court time, my advice is 100% conflict-free. I succeed only when you resolve matters efficiently and amicably.
All services are advisory. No service includes court appearances, counsel-of-record representation, or contested litigation. See Disclosures for complete scope-of-practice language.
How the four bands work
Pricing reflects depth of review.
After the strategy audit, I assign your matter to one band based on case complexity and document volume.
Band A
Foundation
$3,500
Pre-filing or early-stage. Organized record. One core strategic question. The only Second Opinion that delivers a written, portable strategic asset for buyers who aren't yet in court — and aren't ready for a monthly counsel relationship.
Band B
Active Case
$7,500
Active mid-case. Moderate document volume. Some conflict. Strategic question is about mediation prep, settlement posture, or next-phase tactics. Most clients land here.
Band C
High-Conflict
$15,000
Complex or high-conflict. Higher-value disputes. Multiple moving pieces. A major decision point — or a clear sense the current strategy isn't working.
Band D
War Room
Custom · starting at $20,000
350+ docket entries. Multi-front motion practice. Complex assets. Messy or contested record. Full attorney's re-read, scoped and quoted after the $750 audit based on document volume and posture.
Most clients land in Band B ($7,500). Band assignment is made by the attorney, not the client — and the $750 intake credits toward whichever band you're assigned.
