Fifteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida — Palm Beach County.
West Palm Beach divorce and family law cases sit in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida and run through the Palm Beach County Main Courthouse in downtown West Palm Beach — the county seat. The local calendar covers a wide complexity range, from straightforward dissolutions to high-asset matters spanning the Palm Beach corridor north to Jupiter and south to Boca Raton. An independent expert read before mediation, deposition, or hearing dates routinely reshapes the strategic posture.

How the four bands work
Pricing reflects depth of review.
Strategy Audit — $750
A 45-minute private consultation where I listen to your concerns, review your case strategy, examine the public docket, and identify your most critical exposure points. The $750 is credited in full toward your engagement fee if you proceed. If you decide not to move forward, you leave with a clear, independent read on where your case actually stands — from someone with no interest in prolonging it.
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
Your case is moving. There's pressure — mediation coming, a settlement offer on the table, or a decision you can't un-make. You have an attorney, but you're not sure if the strategy is the right one. This is where most clients land.
Band C
High-Conflict
$12,500
High stakes. A business, real property, or significant financial assets are in dispute. Multiple issues moving simultaneously. Something in your case feels fundamentally off — not just tactically, but strategically. You need more than a second opinion. You need a full re-read.
Band D
Bespoke
Custom
One discrete issue that doesn't need a full review. Or a multi-front, high-value matter that goes well beyond High-Conflict. Either way, the fee is scoped to fit the problem — quoted in writing after your Strategy Audit.
The $750 intake credits toward whichever band you’re assigned.

Palm Beach · High-asset divorce · Band C
Pressure-tested an incoming settlement offer. Client renegotiated equitable distribution before signing.
