Some things land better in the same room. My Boca Raton office is quiet, private, and yours for the hour.
Book in personTalk by Phone
Not sure yet? Ring me and ask. It costs nothing, you get me rather than a receptionist, and there is no pitch.
Call (754) 225-9819My caseload reaches right across St. Lucie County, from Fort Pierce out to the towns most directories forget. Nothing you say leaves the room. That is not a formality to me; it is the whole reason the work is possible.
Video sessions are encrypted and private. Several of my longest-running St. Lucie County clients I have never met in person. I work in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and you are free to switch mid-sentence. Most people do.
An evaluation gives a judge the part of your story that a form has no space for. St. Lucie County sits in the Treasure Coast, near Port St. Lucie, and the families I see here come from everywhere, which is precisely why I do not work in one language only. If you are unsure whether this is for you, that is exactly what a first call is for.
