Tampa Family Lawyers

Top Florida Attorneys in Divorce, Modifications, and 
Child Custody & Support

At Four Rivers Law Firm, we abide by the principle that most family law cases are 80% emotion and 20% law. Therefore, we strive to take the emotion out of the case so the process is simple as it can be. When both sides are able to cooperate and work soberly through the court applied formulas, cases can be easy.

Often, our clients going through a divorce or other family legal matter are worried the other spouse has hired a good lawyer. We welcome this as a good thing and prefer the opportunity to work across the aisle with experienced family attorneys since they usually share our reasoned approach. The most difficult cases are ones involving attorneys who inject additional energy into the case, which is often done at the expense of both clients. This is usually due to inexperience. It benefits everyone on both sides to be represented by effective counsel.


We take a level-headed approach to divorce and family law cases. Contact our proven Tampa family attorneys today at (813) 331-5056 for a free consultation.


Types of Family Law Cases in Florida

The team of Tampa family law attorneys at Four Rivers Law Firm is experienced in all types of Florida family law matters. Examples of family law in Florida include, but aren't limited to:

Cost-Effective Family Law Counsel

Over half of all divorce cases are done pro se, which means with no lawyer at all. The reason is the wide disconnect between law firms and the ability of many clients to pay high legal fees.

We offer a unique choice of representation in order to match your needs. One size does not fit everyone. For e.g., if you have a complicated separation and a lot of assets to split, we offer full-service representation based on retainer and hourly billings, so that we can represent you throughout the entire process, consistent with our simple philosophy.

We offer menu-based prices, so there is full transparency of costs before you engage us. We have found that this model can be very successful for clients who are appearing without an attorney but need some help on the side..
