I practice law at Winderweedle, Haines, Ward & Woodman, P.A.'s Orlando office.  I represent clients throughout Florida in the areas of Appellate Practice, Banking, Commercial Litigation, Bankruptcy, Creditors Rights and Collections, Securities, and Receiverships. I am a member of Florida Bar's Trial Lawyers and Business Law Sections, and the Orange County Bar Association.  I am admitted to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Middle and Southern Districts of Florida.

I obtained my Florida Supreme Court Board Certification in Juvenile Law on August 1, 2017.  I and 93 other Florida lawyers were the first members of the Florida Bar to qualify for this honor, as this is the first time certification has been offered in this area of the law.

I have the privilege of providing the highest caliber legal
representation for my clients and assuring that my clients are satisfied
with the work performed by me and the results obtained for them.
Although located in Central Florida, I focus my practice throughout the
State of Florida in both federal and state courts.. I am dedicated to offering my clients results normally associated with
large firms and the customer service typically found only at smaller
ones. I personally handle my client’s cases, and I always remain
focused on my client’s bottom line.

I have been representing homeowners, building owners and community associations for over 16 years, which has always been interesting and rewarding.  I've enjoyed working with my clients toward successful resolutions of their claims and feel privileged that new clients are continually reaching out to me.. Outside of work, I travel throughout the world, ski and snow board, and coach youth baseball and football.  I am a professional skydiver holding a D-License, tandem instructor rating and Pro-Demonstration rating from the United States Parachute Association.

I have been practicing law in the Central Florida area for over 30 years. My top priority is to provide quality and personalized legal services to all of my clients. If you contact my office I will personally speak with you and answer your questions. I am also available for a free consultation in my office. I am also a Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator.

I have been practicing law for over 40 years in the Central Florida area.. As a small firm, we are able to provide clients with personalized, one-on-one service that you will not receive at larger firms. As a family-run firm, we are committed to providing accessible and attentive services. We make it a priority to return calls and keep our client's informed. We welcome any questions regarding our practice areas and inquiries about scheduling consultations.

I have been practicing in Central Florida for over 35 years as both a former trial attorney and, since 1995, exclusively as a family law lawyer.  Over the last decade, I have focused my energies and efforts on my collaborative law and mediation practice.  I possess an ability to see the big picture and to assist in finding creative solutions where they may not be readily apparent.  In protecting the rights and safety of children, I am tenacious, and my personality and style are such that I often bring a calming influence to contentious situations.  My consistent goal is to guide clients to outcomes that preserve, and even enhance, family relationships, while minimizing damage to children.  At The Aikin Family Law Group our culture is such that we treat all of our clients with respect, compassion and caring, from the front desk to the corner office.  We value empowering clients to be able to focus on global resolutions tailored to their family’s needs.. I have been instrumental in the expansion and acceptance of collaborative law practice in Central Florida over the last decade and serve as the President of The Collaborative Family Law Group of Central Florida, an organization of collaboratively-trained attorneys, mental health professionals and financial professionals, numbering 110 members strong.  I am passionate in my belief that divorce and related issues are better handled out of the courtroom setting, ideally around a table with the guidance and expertise of both attorneys, a mental health neutral and a financial neutral.  Direct, open and transparent communication results in greater efficiency and clarity, allowing for more informed decision-making and more lasting agreements.. Mediation adds another dimension to my practice and allows me to bring to bear the skills to resolve legal disputes such as child custody and timesharing, child support and modifications, contested and uncontested divorce, equitable distribution, domestic abuse, alimony/spousal support, relocation and other Family Law issues.  My reputation is one of tackling the hardest cases with complex issues and complicated family dynamics and working the cases as needed between the formal mediations sessions, as may be required for resolution. My extensive community contacts help access resources to guide cases to conclusion..

I am married and I enjoy a blended family of four children and two grandchildren with a third grandchild on the way.

I dreamed about becoming a lawyer, flying for the U.S. military and becoming an engineer while a little boy. I was raised in a Navy family. Recived a BA graduating from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Alabama in 1976 with a major in Political Science and Minor in Russian Language Studies. God has been good to me! I served in the Coast Guard in Port Security (dangerous cargo security and inspection) in one of the largest ports in the U.S. - Baltimore, Maryland before the Coast Guard sent me to Naval Flight Training to fly transport aircraft on various missions including alien interdiction, drug smuggling interdiction and search and rescue missions and was stationed at the Coast Guard Air Station in Miami, Florida. I flew support for Cuban Exodus 1981 - the very first night mission in support of those risking their lives for a better one in the U.S. At one point before leaving my Port Security job in Baltimore I was ordered to seize a Soviet Bloc (Russian) ship in Baltimore...without support of other personnel. In 1982 I began law school at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama graduated and was admitted to practice in Florida after graduation in 1985. I am admitted to practice in Federal Courts in all Districts in Floira including the Trial Bar in Miami; admitted to practice in the Federal 11th Circuit of Appeal; admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court and all Florida State Courts; admitted to practice in States outside of Florida through pro hac vice admissions previously in Puerto Rico and New York (without requirement of local counsel). I have jury trial experience along with major litigation experience including Multi-District Federal Court Litigation for mass disasters. My first state court jury trial was a success in 1972. :-). I have been a licensed Florida lawyer continuously since having been admitted in 1985. I have maintained a Federal Aviation Administration license since receiving my Naval Aviator wings in 1979 which now includes an Airline Transport License or ATP with Commercial Privileges with special Type Ratings including Lear Jet and Convair aircraft. I have flown as a commercial airline passenger aircraft pilot (First Officer) and been a member of ALPA...a major pilot union, previously having been based at Miami International and at New Yorks' JFK.. Though I rarely play golf today, I still have my sticks and chip around; enjoy sailing, flying (now) occassionally - but simulators all the time; photography (vintage camera collecting and repair in some instances - even without the repair manuals); and have aspirations to become "Registered" at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and have begun courses at UCF which eventually could result in an engineering degree. My Intellectual Property practice litigation experience includes a case against, on behlf of a client, prevailing in Federal Litigation against, a now President entitiy related individual owning "Mar-A-Lago" in one of my copyright cases.. I love life and want all that I associate with to succeed and reep the most from their God Given Blessings!

I come from a middle class background in Lake County, Fl where I went to Eustis High School.  I worked very hard as a young man as it was very important to my parents that I develop a good work ethic and to appreciate honest hard work.  In high school, I mowed lawns and worked at a bookstore to save money for college.  After high school, I was accepted to the University of Florida.. I did my undergraduate work and went to law school at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL.  I graduated summa cum laude, which is the highest honor you can recieve at graduation.. I then went to work immediately practicing law for Attorney Richard Troutman.  I specialize in personal injury cases including motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability cases, products liability cases and medical malpractice cases.  I have focused my practice in these areas of law since I finished law school in 2003.. I believe in not only working very hard for my clients but also being available to them and giving great personal service.  I try to anwser every one of my clients' telephone calls personally and if not call them back as soon as possible.  My clients speak to me about their cases, not a paralegal or a case manager.  I handle virtually every aspect of their case from start to finish.  I don't advertise on the television or radio and I don't believe in these forms of advertisement.  I rely on personal referrals from past clients and referrals from other attorneys as my sole means of new clients.

I am proud to say, we are not an T.V. advertising firm.  Our clients come to us by referrals from current and former clients, other lawyers, doctors, our friends in the community, and people who know of us by reputation.  We are very proud of reputation for responsiveness to our clients and our genuine interest in the welfare of our clients.  Being a non advertising firm means that we have more time to dedicate to our clients’ cases, and I think it is for this reason we have a higher level of client satisfaction compared to the experience of clients at an advertising firm.. I have been continuously practicing law in Florida since 1990 when I started my career as a prosecutor for Janet Reno in Miami. A prosecutor has the highest ethical responsibility of any practice in law, and I admire prosecutors and enjoyed this part of my career. After working as a prosecutor for a few years, I transitioned into private practice, representing victims in civil claims for injury and wrongful death. I have tried cases involving serious injury and death, claims against insurance companies, and represented hundreds of individuals and various civil claims. In the past ten years, my practice has grown to include two unique sub specialties within my civil practice, hospital lien litigation and automotive diminished value claims. I am known within Florida as a resource for help to attorneys and individuals grappling with hospitals’ aggressive tactics of attaching hospital liens against the settlement of a patient. This is a slowly evolving area of law in which clear answers are rare, and collaboration among lawyers is essential for civil practitioners. Diminished value claims are gaining in popularity due to increased consumer awareness of the ability to seek compensation for diminution in value to an automobile, motorcycle, RV, bus, or any valuable car owned by an individual or corporation. Most lawyers seem disinterested in this area of law, but I thoroughly enjoy handling this area of practice. I have found that the owners of expensive cars and motorcycles who retain me in diminished value claims seem to be some of the most satisfied and grateful clients, and this is a great feeling for me as a lawyer.

I am proud to be a a family attorney. We practice divorce and paternity law throughout Central Florida. Being an attorney means a great deal to me because holding a law license empowers me to help people that are genuinely in need. Knowing that we have made a difference in the lives of clients is what fuels me as a legal professional.
