Divorce and family law proceedings bring several legal issues into play, particularly when children are involved. One of the most difficult aspects is working out a parenting plan and arranging schedules in the children's best interests, while also accommodating the demands on parents' lives.
A parenting plan establishes legal custody to decide who makes the decisions regarding the health, welfare, education, and religious upbringing, as well as, physical custody to decide who the children live with, including providing daily needs, food, shelter, clothing, transportation to school and social events, and finally parenting time to determine the non-custodial parent's appropriate time with the children.

The great attorneys know that preparation above all else is how to put the client in the best position to achieve a favorable result. This firm uses preparation, hard work, and an aggressive style of practice to get the results our clients demand and deserve. True preparation is not a skill that can be learned; rather, it is an inherent quality possessed by few, but envied by many.
Estimating the cost of a divorce or family law matter can be a challenge. Hiring a divorce or family law attorney requires a non-refundable retainer fee to be paid at the inception of the case.
The factors the Firm considers for the retainer amount include, but are not limited to: (a) whether the matter is a paternity action or divorce, and if there is a relocation to be sought, (b) whether there are children involved; (c) the assets/liabilities involved; (d) the anticipated level of conflict; and (e) the County of jurisdiction.

Going through a divorce can be a difficult and challenging experience for anyone, but children often suffer the most. The parent who wins custody won't always make enough money to give the children the things they need to live a happy and healthy life. But the problem gets even more complicated as some parents will even use children to get back at their former spouses, which creates a lot of unneeded stress and emotional angst.
Nobody goes into marriage expecting to file for divorce, but the statistics show that as many as 50 percent of Americans eventually will. Known as a "Dissolution of Marriage, " all Florida divorce procedures are similar. However, the particulars of every case are different, so it is important to have knowledgeable family law attorneys from In Law We Trust, P.A. when navigating the process.
When faced with allegations of domestic violence, it's important to take immediate action and contact a domestic violence lawyer for men in Tampa, FL. If you are going through a divorce and are being accused of acts of violence against your spouse, partner, or your children, there can be many ramifications from those charges.

We owe this Smile to John DeGirolamo.
My ex-wife was withholding my son from me, I could barely see him. That's why I hired the law firm: In Law we Trust. This is the firm to go for divorcing men. In a short period of time, thanks to the pressure John put on the other party, I was sharing time with my son and he even stayed with me overnights.

John and his team are the best team I needed for my unique situation. I was deployed while going through my divorce and him and his team was flexible and worked with me through the process. One of my most favorite things is about John as an Attorney he gets right to the point he doesn’t have time bs, he’s tactful about what needs to be said. Great guy, great team hopefully I won’t go through another divorce but if I do calling him up like I’m signaling Batman!

Let me start by saying that whatever John says will happen in Court actually will happen. I called him earlier this year regarding a situation that my ex was putting me through. He spent the time needed to bluntly explain what my options were and what to expect as an outcome.
He's VERY responsive. He took calls from me on his cell phone even in the evenings to answer my questions. And if he wasn't available, he would quickly send a text on when he could talk.
Even though he was confident of a win in this case, it was more of a win for us than he prepared me for! John is very knowledgeable in

Divorce is never fun, but John removed a lot of the stress from it. John was easy to communicate with and very responsive. John is extremely knowledgeable in regards to family law and his associates are great also. He will be upfront with you about everything and will not sugar coat it. He was always a text or email away and literally would respond within minutes. I couldn't have chosen a better lawyer to represent me in my divorce. You will not regret retaining John and his associates for your divorce. Although John advocates for helping men in divorces, he is also great at helping women as well

My experience working with the firm In Law We Trust to complete my divorce was an exceptional one. John and his staff were very detail and attentive to my case and what I wanted to accomplish. Response time to my questions were immediate by phone, text or email any time of the day. John made it easy to go through what would have been a difficult process as he explained in details the steps to achieve my goals each step of the way. In no time my divorce was filed and finalized as he negotiated on my behalf through the process. Couldn't be more please with his knowledge and work ethic along with

I was happy at first but towards the end I felt very disgusted with his services. I felt emotionally abuse. Please, I beg you do a Google search before hiring him as lawyer. As a father fighting for his children I'm disappointed with his services. I am happy with the 50/50 custody I received but not with the way I felt during the mediation. The worst mediation session I have ever been a part of.

John D. was a tremendous divorce lawyer and had my best interests during a difficult time. Divorces can be tough financially and emotionally and John made sure I was up to speed on everything and he definitely had my back during mediation. His team was quick in filing paper work and they made it easy for me to get everything I needed over to them so they could do their part. They picked up every time I called and responded in a very timely and prompt manner every time as well. I would call my outcome "successful" giving the alternatives the ex-spouse was requesting.

After a very long and tumultuous divorce involving injunction, lack of ability to have a productive mediation, and previous lazy and unprofessional legal counsel, John DeGirolamo took my case. He was referred to me by a trusted family associate who had great things to say about him.
From day one Mr. DeGirolamo was organized, straight to the point, and above all found a way to get things moving in a way that no other attorney had been able to be successful at doing over the past three years.
He has a way of taking control and organizing things in the courtroom which will make you glad to have

John was absolutely amazing. He is direct and to the point. He doesn't sugar coat anything and is always up front and honest with all he says and does. He is the best lawyer in my eyes due to the fact that he is available for his clients. You can speak with him directly instead of a receptionist or paralegal. To me, that makes all the difference. If you are looking for the best, look no further!

John was amazing throughout the whole process. He provided fair and balanced counsel, while working efficiently to finish the process as soon as possible. It's never fun paying for legal services, but I felt he earned every dollar.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer who will advocate for them and keep their best interest in mind.

My entire time with The Law Offices of John DeGirolamo was a very positive experience. They handled the case professionally, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. I felt like they were extremely accessible during my case and they answered every question I threw at them. I would highly recommend them! John is a fighter...he wants to win and I observed very strategic thinking on his part early on in our lawsuit of specific performance. He is the guy you want on your team...I have dealt with dozens of attorneys over the years and I am extremely sensitive to "milking attorneys"

I highly recommend John DeGirolamo. I was slapped with a hefty lawsuit with serious allegations. All were untrue but it scared me all the same. John understands family and criminal law. He gave me expert legal counsel. I left his office feeling calm about the future. While I was hoping for resolution out of court, I was confident he would have the skills to defend me, if needed. The suit was completely dropped and I didn't have to go to trial. I am so thankful John DeGirolamo was there for me in my time of need and I highly recommend him if you need someone that understands family law, criminal

John's manner and legal insight set me at ease and totally cleared up the matter to my happiest satisfation. John is an awesome upright person who I trust and respect and I just met him. He's a natural born lawyer, if there is such a person. Thank you John for all your legal help and changing my life for

John took on my very contentious family law case after my previous attorney not only did nothing for me, but was not listening to me and my concerns. John listened to me about my daughter and my concerns for her and my case. We resolved my case fairly and without things getting more nasty than they needed to, which was John and I's goal from the beginning. I highly recommend John for your family case.

We have used Attorney John DeGirolamo's firm on a number of occasions. We established our goals with him and he was instrumental in accomplishing what our business needed. I have retained John on a few personal non-profit projects too. There are always reviews on various sites that don't tell the truth or don't paint the entire picture. The other reviews on this site are likely untrue based on my experiences working with John and his firm. I would recommend anyone to use In Law We Trust, P. A.
