An absolute amazing man and a wonderful staff to match. I didn't know how to use technology when he helped me in my time of need. So this is a few years after the matter. My husband had just passed away and I found out the insurance company didn't want to pay up. My sister referred me to this angel. He got me my husband's policy I was owed. It was a hard time for me and I didn't know how to deal with this part and i was crying uncontrollably . He was so professional, yet an understanding human. He told me to ake all the time I needed, because the thought of signing these papers seemed so final on his death, that it was a realization to me that he was really never going to come back to me. It's going to be 8 years on the 24th of February. Not a day goes by that I remember the kindness that he and his staff gave me, as this was and still is the first REAL loss (close to me), that I've experienced. Thank you cannot begin to express or acknowledge the respect, and love I have for this man and his staff. Thank you isn't enough for the help and genuine thoughtfulness y'all showed me.
YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE ANGEL ON EARTH!

Woolsey Morcom operates an exceptional firm. The communication was perfect. The handling of my legal case was flawless. Things moved swiftly and the end result was the optimal outcome. I cannot say enough good things about this firm, and Jonathan Thacher specifically. He was prompt, very in-tune with legal process, articulate in the courtroom, and highly effective with driving towards a winning outcome for me. I would recommend no one else. My sincere thanks goes out to Mr. Thacher and the team at Woolsey Morcom.

Take you time and money elsewhere. I can’t fathom how this business has any good reviews. I hired this firm to take care of a criminal misdemeanor charge for me. They answered my call and took my money so fast but the second I needed guidance or assistance regarding my case they were no where to be found. I woke up to a text from my attorney at 4:30 in the morning the day I was supposed to appear in court with a warning that I would have a bench warrant out for my arrest if I did not show. During my case I went through two attorneys because the first one quit the firm due to being overworked and not aligning with the morals of the firm. He made me aware of the fact that I was charged $500 for paralegal fees when the firm doesn’t employ any paralegals. This was confirmed to be true by my second attorney. Both attorneys were verbal about their dislike for John Musca because of his scammy business practices. When I called over the phone to speak with the man who took my money and my case I couldn’t get through. Once again STAY AWAY! There are plenty of lawyers willing to take your money, do yourself a favor and give it to anyone except John Musca.

Dear Smith&Eulo Law
I wanted to express my gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Attorney Alexis Sykes during my recent legal matter. As a first-time client facing a challenging situation, Miss Sykes made the entire process as comfortable as possible. Her attention to detail, informative guidance, and excellent communication skills truly stood out. She walked me through every step, from the court appearance to the eventual dismissal of the case.
I cannot thank Miss Sykes enough for her outstanding professionalism and expertise. She is truly a credit to your firm.
Thank you once again.
Sincerely,
Vin Mazzeo

After having vetted over ten different family law firms, I settled on the Taylor Law Firm. After the initial consultation and interview it was obvious Chris Taylor would provide me with the best representation I could hope for. Fair and transparent he guided me through the entire process while always being available whenever I had questions or concerns. Through his excellent counsel I was able to meditate a fair settlement that I was satisfied with. I highly recommend the Taylor Law Office for all your family law needs.

While I was nervous, he was calm, he helped me see reason, weigh my options for me to have a successful divorce.
Not once did I have trouble contacting him, if I called, he answered, sent an email, always a timely response. Mr. Taylor was affordable, honest, had more patience then I did and explained anything I did not understand. Thank you Sir! I greatly appreciate everything you did for me..

From the moment I called Jennifer she was ready and on alert. I was so thankful! If you want an understanding lawyer to get the job done Jennifer is your women. She is determined and by your side every step of the way. I cannot forget about Ms. Michelle AKA Ms. Make it happen! She is dedicated and completely on her "A game" she was always communicating with me and reassuring. I will forever be thankful for these women they're God sent. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication.

I hired Jay Henderlite to be my lawyer for a case involving a relocation with two of my children. He was recommended by my father in law. He was always honest with me from the beginning about how hard it was to win this type of case but not impossible. He was very knowledgeable about my type of case. On the day of our scheduled court date I was very impressed. He showed up overly prepared for our case. He had all of our evidence and pictures neatly printed in notebooks for all of us to see in court (including the judge & my ex & his lawyer). I would highly recommend him to anyone I know in the future for anything involving family law.

Never a procrastinated moment, and always 3 steps ahead of the process. It really is because of her that I came out on the right side of the dirt from my divorce/custody battle, and I am forever thankful.
If you are ever looking for a divorce attorney, I swear by Erin, she will make sure you are taken care of.

This law firm made me feel like a part of their family! Everyone was always professional, with their own added love. I never had to wait long for any response to any question that I had for them. Cindy was very knowledgeable on military ways, and she was very honest and straight forward with everything. She never pulled any punches with me. The ladies at the front desk, along with Stephanie, were always there when I needed anything. With their smiles and kind words they made me feel at ease. Desire, what can I say except for she is "THE BEST". She really helped me through a rough time in my life, so THANK YOU, with all your kind words. So if you want a team that will work for you and make you feel like you are a part of a family, and make you feel like you are the only client, this is the law firm for you.

In a normal world when a person needs an attorney it is usually for writing a will, settling an estate or buying property. In the abnormal world of bitter divorces and family ravaging child custody cases a person needs more than an attorney; that person needs a counselor who knows children, is more than familiar with divorce settlements, shares empathy for the war-torn victims of one-sided bullying, gets involved both professionally and emotionally with her clients and exhibits a mastery of case law practicing it on the high side of ethics and morality. In Jacksonville, that attorney is Cindy Lasky of the Lasky Law Firm.
During a recent case involving our family Cindy Lasky needed all of the afore mentioned traits to lead us to victory in a courtroom dominated by difficult and harassing opposing attorneys and their determined client. She practiced the type of law and defense that rose above all the baseless trumped up charges, innuendo, and limitless petitions / motions brought by the opposition designed to influence a judge who wouldn’t have it.
Cindy Lasky exposed all the falsehoods and mistakes of the opposition by using carefully worded case law precedents, and keeping exact records of statements made, issues visited, and claims asserted. All this was not without trepidation. Every step of the way to final victory, Cindy was all-in on both the work she needed to do, much of it after normal office hours, and the emotions that a mother feels for her own children and their welfare.
Cindy Lasky was the whole package for us in our time of need and I can tell she does the same for all her clients. She surely made my day as the final judgement came down; and she made the many sleepless nights worrying beforehand disappear from my emotional memory. In addition, her staff is super-efficient, cordial, and comforting; and both the staff and Cindy made themselves amicably available for our many impromptu queries. Thank you.

My company was downsizing and as a senior employee at retirement age, I lost my job. Knowing that I could not continue paying the high-cost permanent alimony that the court ordered years ago, I needed help. Remembering that a friend highly recommended Attorney Bill Dorsey, I scheduled a consultation. There was a fee, but it was worth it because “you get what you pay for”.
I hired Bill and I am extremely fortunate that I did. He led throughout the entire process, and was assisted by team members Sue and Erica. When you hire The Dorsey Law Firm, they are genuinely interested in your case and are extremely helpful. Requests were promptly managed, and the team ALWAYS kept me informed on the status of current proceedings or actions. Impressive!
At Mediation, a remarkably successful resolution was reached. I could not be happier!
Bill Dorsey is Outstanding! YOU NEED his subject knowledge and strategic recommendations. If you want the best outcome for any court issue, call Bill Dorsey.

Mr Dorsey and his team helped dig me out of the messy trench my last 2 lawyers had left me in. I can’t begin to explain how bad my first few lawyers had screwed up my case and made me look bad against an abusive drug addict narcissist who could charm the pant suit off Hilary Clinton. Mr Dorsey took on my case and for the first time I actually felt like I could trust my lawyer. Unlike my last attorney who charged me an insane amount of money to screw me over, Mr Dorsey gave me a free consultation and always charged me honestly and fairly. He gave me his personal cell number for emergencies and him and his team were always very responsive to my calls and emails. He fought tooth and nail against one of the most dishonest and corrupt opposing councils I have ever seen! He is well known and honored around Jacksonville and St Augustine by many other esteemed lawyers and judges.
If you are in need of a good, honest attorney who will fight for you as if you were his own family, you need to hire Bill Dorsey and his team. He is tough and does not give up. Believe me, I probably had the largest case file he had ever taken on in a civil case and he took the time to go over all of it so he didn’t miss a thing. He is stern but honest so listen to his advice because he knows what he is talking about. I can only say that about 1 other lawyer and I have met way more than I ever wanted to.
If you are like me and can’t trust your lawyer and have been paying someone and trusting them with your life but all they seem to do is ignore you and take your money: HIRE BILL DORSEY and he will help you get your life (your child/children) back!

No one really wants to go through any family/custody battles. So when I was faced with this issues I had no choice but to retain an attorney. After numerous hours/days of research I found the Dorsey Law Firm.
I came to Mr. Dorsey with a lot of uncertainty with my impending custody case. During my consultation Mr. Dorsey was fully tuned in and very attentive. He answered every question I had very confidently. After I retained Mr. Dorsey, his team and himself started working on the case promptly. They filed an emergency motion and was able to get a hearing for temporary custody within a few weeks. I was granted temporary custody until the outcome of the final hearing.
In Preparation for the final hearing Mr. Dorsey and the team were with me every step of the way. They reassured me of the potential outcome, instilled confidence in myself and the direction of the case. During the final hearing Mr. Dorsey was very thorough, firm, and fully prepared. His cross examination skills, rebuttals, presentation, and delivery was superb.
As a result, I was grant 75% percent of time sharing. I have never felt better and once again I was stress free.
Mr. Dorsey is Very professional and has many years of experience with a great rapport with the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys. He’s very firm, straightforward, and passionate about his work and clients. He is well known and well respected amongst his peers. His resume speaks for itself.
A big shout out to The Dorsey team. Susan and Heather. They are very hard working, detail oriented, & very professional. They truly care about people.
Stop shopping for attorneys based on price. Mr. Dorsey is the Best Bang for The Buck. He is my guy!!!!!!

Andrea is extremely detailed, and diligent on making sure she fully understands the situation, accurately. Also amazingly dedicated, working long hours and late into the night to ensure we were properly prepared, for both document submittals and court. Andrea is also easy to work with and communicate with, making what can be a difficult process much more bearable.

Erin is such a fantastic lawyer. I’ve worked with her for years over my lengthy divorce. Every step of the way she’s been on top of it all. Never a procrastinated moment, and always 3 steps ahead of the process. It really is because of her that I came out on the right side of the dirt from my divorce/custody battle, and I am forever thankful.
If you are ever looking for a divorce attorney, I swear by Erin, she will make sure you are taken care of.

I worked with the team of Katie, Yomary and Sara and from the moment of the consultation I knew that these were the people for me. They were all very caring and sensitive for the difficult position that I was in, offered great advice and were incredibly patient and supportive the entire time. I doubt I could have found a better team to represent me anywhere.

When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.

Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.

- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.

How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.

Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
