Sarasota Family Law Attorney

For better or worse, the American family has changed. In 2014, a Pew Research Center survey revealed that, for the first time in the country’s history, fewer than half of children lived in a “traditional” household with a married mother and father who’d never been married before and their pure biological siblings. Blended and other “nontraditional” families have special legal needs. Speaking of legal needs, to keep up with these changes, Florida family laws have changed, once again, for better or worse. Recent examples include a co-parenting law and spousal support revisions.

At Carman & Bevington, our Sarasota family law attorneys work to ensure that you, and your family, experience the “better” of these changing laws as opposed to the “worst.” Furthermore, although the environment has changed, our approach is unchanged. A combination of everyday hard work, open communication, and commitment to clients usually produces results that exceed your expectations.

Learn How Our Trusted Family Law Firm in Sarasota Can Help You

Florida has more lawyers per capita than almost any other state. So, at first blush, people with family law needs have lots of choices. But upon closer examination, there is really only one choice when it comes to family law attorneys in Tampa Bay. At Carman & Bevington, our Sarasota family law attorneys excel in three key areas:

• Dedication: Family law is a natural extension of personal injury law, our other primary area of practice. Both kinds of law protect families. Personal injury lawyers obtain the compensation injury victims need to carry on with their lives. Family law attorneys put your family in a position to survive and thrive in a difficult environment.
• Experience: Our professional team has years of combined experience. Over these years, we have developed proven methods that secure positive results. Experience really is the best teacher. Law school teaches students to think like lawyers. Experience teaches them to act like lawyers.
• Accessibility: We are physically and professionally accessible. We have several offices in the Tampa Bay area. We are also well-equipped to conduct personal and confidential Zoom calls and other online meetings. Furthermore, we do not instantly refer clients to other law firms or look for quick settlements. We are with you until the end of the line.

Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, we treat all our clients, and all our opponents, with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Handling Many Types of Family Law Cases

Some law firms handle a few local family law cases on the side, mostly for friends, family, and existing clients. But our Sarasota family law attorneys handle a full range of family law matters throughout the Sunshine State.

Our professional team resolves most of these matters out of court, although, as mentioned, we don’t look for an easy way out. A favorable settlement is good for everyone. It drastically reduces legal fees, avoids an emotional courtroom showdown that usually leaves lasting scars, and promotes civility that’s important for the future.
