My parents instilled in me at an early age the importance of community, education and pride in this country. These values are why I am dedicated to becoming YOUR TRUSTED ADVISOR committed to YOU and your FAMILY’s future. To provide guidance and advice as you craft a future that allows you to grow and succeed and provide security for your children.. I have been practicing law for 23+ years, beginning my career in private practice, as an associate and then a partner in a small law firm in Lakeland, Harris & Gonzalez, where I concentrated in Family Law.  Beginning December 2008 through September 2017, I transitioned my career to focusing my efforts in the non-profit realm, as Executive Director to both the Heart of Florida Legal Aid Society, Inc. and the Lee County Legal Aid Society.  Having loved my work with these agencies and the impact we made in the community, I found that I missed building those meaningful connections and bonds with the individuals and families I served.. Committed to the care and future of my clients and their families, providing personalized service for each client.  I created this business with the needs of my clients and their families in mind. I understand you are BUSY, you are growing, you are planning for a life of prosperity and you value ease, convenience and efficiency. You want to know you’ve made the best decisions for your family and that your plan will work when your loved ones need it most. You want to make sure your children and family would be taken care of in the best way possible.  That is my focus as well.

Practice Areas: Family

I am a retired military officer - almost 27 years total service (active and reserves) - and a disabled veteran.  I am, however, fortunate to have run three marathons - and hope to run more - in my life: Oklahoma City; Honolulu; and Cayman Islands.  I like to help my clients achieve a relaxed attitude.  Most are upset about the circumstances in which they currently find themselves, or they would not be seeing me.  I take them to golf - SWFL has some simply magnificant courses - and encourage them to do things they find relaxing so that our communication about the pending issues can be more precise.  While Church - and being a Christian - is very, very important to me, I do not "force" my belief on others.  However, those who know me know that my beliefs and values and see that as an asset.
