I practice both family law and criminal law at Wood, Atter, & Wolf, in Jacksonville, Florida. In my experience, many times these two areas of law cross one another as either criminal activity causes a divorce or a divorce may cause criminal activity. In either of these situations you need an attorney who is well versed in both areas of legal practice so that you can be given the best representation possible. If a domestic violence situation is causing a divorce and there are criminal implications for the offending party, it is important to hire a practitioner who understands both areas of the law. If drugs have caused a divorce then you need a practitioner who has experience in defending the offending party and who has experience in dealing with substance abuse issues and the collateral damage that comes with a family who has been plagued by substance abuse issues. If a divorce has caused criminal activity such as child abduction or kidnapping, your divorce attorney should have experience in the criminal courtroom as well to best represent the issue in the dissolution.
At Wood, Atter & Wolf, I represent family law clients in divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, adoptions, property distribution and all types of cases but I also have vast experience in the criminal courtroom defending clients accused of misdemeanors from domestic battery to drug charges to felony charges such as kidnapping, armed burglary, armed robbery and sexual crimes. Please call our firm for the help you need and for expert advice.
