Firm: Fanash Family Law

111 N. Orange Ave , Orlando , Florida 32801

Practice Areas: Family

I have been practicing exclusively in the area of Family Law and Domestic Relations for my entire career.  After graduating from the University of Denver law school, I accepted a fellowship position with the Eighteenth Judicial District in Colorado working exclusively in Family Law and Domestic Relations with the Honorable Judge Angela R. Arkin. The fellowship experience allowed me to see the judges’ perspective and how judges dealt with and analyzed issues. Working closely with judges taught me that good advocacy, preparation, and aggressive representation is very important to reach resolutions in or out of the courtroom.. I believe strongly that family law attorneys must do everything they can to minimize the emotional turmoil that divorcing families go through. Divorce is a difficult thing and if you have to go through with it, then you deserve the right attorney by your side. I approach each Client’s case as the completely unique situation that it is. Sensitivity and understanding sometimes resolve family law matters without the need of the court’s involvement; however, in other circumstances, the case calls for aggressive and persistent advocacy. My job will be to assess your particular factual situation, your goals, and objectives in order to work with you on developing a legal strategy that will allow us to address your situation and meet your needs.. Through my legal education, experience, and litigation skills, I look forward to successfully helping you through the complicated legal system while making sure that your integrity and peace of mind remain intact.
