Call (754) 225-9819My caseload reaches right across Sumter County, from Bushnell out to the towns most directories forget. My aim is that you leave with something usable, not just a place to vent, though there is room for that too.
Some Sumter County clients mix it: video most weeks, in person when something big needs the extra room. For Brazilian and Latino families near Sumter County, this is not a translated service; it is the same care in your language.
Attorneys send clients to me because the reports come back on schedule and hold up under scrutiny. Sumter County sits in Central Florida, near The Villages, and the families I see here come from everywhere, which is precisely why I do not work in one language only. There is no waiting list and no runaround. Reach out and we will find a time.
