What We Do
Comprehensive Legal Solutions for Life’s Most Important Moments
At Brandon Family Law Center, we assist clients with a full range of adoption services, including stepparent, grandparent, second-parent, and agency adoptions. We manage all legal requirements such as consent, home studies, background checks, and court finalization to ensure a lawful and smooth transition. Our team is also experienced in interstate and international adoption procedures, helping families meet the stringent compliance standards under the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) and relevant international treaties.
We provide strategic legal counsel for contested and uncontested divorce proceedings, focusing on equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities under Florida’s equitable distribution statute. We advocate for fair alimony determinations, child custody (time-sharing) agreements aligned with the child’s best interests, and appropriate child support calculations based on Florida’s statutory guidelines. Our firm also advises on the enforcement and modification of divorce decrees post-judgment.
Our elder law services address key issues including Medicaid eligibility and planning, guardianship proceedings, long-term care planning, and the use of irrevocable and revocable trusts to shield assets from spend-down requirements. We provide durable powers of attorney, advance directives, and designation of healthcare surrogates to ensure clients’ wishes are honored and their rights protected as they age.
We design comprehensive estate plans tailored to each client’s unique circumstances. Services include drafting last wills and testaments, revocable living trusts, special needs trusts, and durable powers of attorney. We assist with advanced estate planning strategies such as irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILITs), family limited partnerships (FLPs), and asset titling to maximize tax efficiency and avoid probate where possible.
Our family law practice covers a broad spectrum of matters, including parenting plans, child support, paternity actions, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and domestic violence injunctions. We also handle modification and enforcement actions, relocation petitions, and contested family law litigation when negotiation and mediation do not yield resolution.
Brandon Family Law Center is a leader in providing legal representation for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples in family formation, adoption, surrogacy, estate planning, and relationship dissolution. We help clients navigate second-parent adoptions, gender marker changes, and marriage-related asset protections. We also defend against discrimination and work to affirm constitutional rights across family law and civil matters.
We guide clients through all phases of probate administration, from admitting wills to probate to asset distribution and discharge of personal representatives. We handle formal administration, summary administration, and ancillary probate. Our guardianship services cover voluntary and involuntary guardianships, guardian advocacy, and compliance with annual accountings and care plans as required by Florida law.
Our firm is at the forefront of Florida surrogacy and reproductive law, drafting and negotiating comprehensive gestational surrogacy agreements in accordance with Chapter 742, Florida Statutes. We also advise intended parents, donors, and surrogates in contracts involving gamete (egg and sperm) donation, embryo donation, and custody agreements. Our work ensures compliance with HIPAA, ART regulations, and evolving case law in assisted reproductive technology (ART) arrangements.
