You're in a Fight for your life. Does your lawyer know?
Joseph J. Registrato, Attorney At Law in Tampa-St. Petersburg Florida
I've heard it said that a court fight is just a street fight in which the combatants wear a suit and tie. I've heard judges right here in Hillsborough County, Florida, say they get tired of keeping lawyers from trying to beat each other up in court. There's a certain truth to the comparison.
Whether you are fighting with a spouse in a divorce case in Tampa, Florida, or fighting with the State of Florida in a criminal case, you're still very much in a fight for your life. Facing a fight like that, you want your divorce lawyer or criminal defense lawyer in Tampa who's been there before and more than just once or twice, to fight it for you, somebody who knows the complicated rules you must follow, and who will make the best arguments at the right time. You also want somebody who has demonstrated he is willing and knows how to fight to the finish.
Plain English
Making things more complicated, divorce lawyers and criminal defense lawyers tend to speak a language other than ordinary English, use legal terms that are impossible to understand.
We try not to do that. The staff at our law office will talk to you in plain English and try to break down complicated problems so that you can understand them and explain how the very real battles you may be facing should be fought.
Divorce, Parental Responsibility, Criminal Charges
Fights in divorce cases are emotional and traumatic and take a toll on everyone involved, especially the children. The biggest fights are over child custody, (even though the legislature has deleted the word "custody" from the most pertinent law on the subject, parents continue to fight over who gets the kids), splitting up marital property, modifying divorce orders and domestic violence. It has been said that only the death of a family member is more shocking to the system than divorce.
If the problems can't be settled through negotiations or in mediation, we go to court, where the real battle takes place in front of a judge or a jury. Sometimes, judges make mistakes and the mistakes need to be appealed to a higher court, which we will do when necessary.
In every case, we pledge to treat you with respect and dignity.
