A divorce attorney’s guide to the weeks before you file plus tips to save thousands more!
Early in every Florida divorce case, the parties are required to exchange a defined set of financial records, called Mandatory Disclosure. Gathering those records falls to you, and every hour a firm spends reviewing, chasing and organizing them is billed at its hourly rate. Before You File significantly reduces how much of that work your firm bills you for. The hours nobody spends are hours nobody bills.
Before You File, a Florida divorce preparation system, starts at less than one billable hour of a lawyer’s time and will introduce the extensive discovery process, retrieve your bank and financial institution statements for you, keep your file organized throughout the pendency of your case, and most importantly, provide 9 different ways to save on your attorney’s fees.
So the only question that matters is who spends the hours.

I have been a member of The Florida Bar since 2015 and started my firm in 2017. I first-chaired more than 30 trials and appeared at over 100 evidentiary hearings. In that time, I’ve watched many clients spend money on attorney’s fees they did not need to spend — not on advocacy, but on the parts of a case that never required an attorney at all.
I created this to help you save on your attorney's fees.
Going through a divorce is hard enough.

Then preparation isn’t the first thing you need. There’s a free guide for this, and you don’t have to share any information to own it. If you share a device with the other party, read it on one they don’t use.
