When the decision is made to dissolve your marriage, you are severing much more than just a one-on-one relationship. Issues such as the division of your assets and liabilities, timesharing with your children, the payment of alimony and child support, as well as many other important concerns must be resolved. These issues must either be agreed upon or else eventually litigated before the divorce action can be completed. If you are planning for, or being pushed into a divorce, it is in your best interests to discuss your situation with a qualified and experienced divorce attorney who can educate you about the process, your rights, and your options. THIS IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT INITIAL CASE ANALYSIS (see the Anticipated Divorce Case Analysis section of this website for a thorough description of an initial case analysis).

Our firm will negotiate marital and post marital disputes whenever possible, and aggressively litigate cases when necessary. The individual needs of each client and family vary considerably. To assist in meeting these various needs David Anton, Esq. brings to the table 35 continuous years of family law experience working as a mediator, collaborative lawyer, and litigator in the Tampa, Florida area. He will work diligently to collaborate and negotiate with your spouse, if possible, in order to make your case as simple, efficient, painless, and successful as possible. In those cases where a negotiated resolution is not possible, you can depend on David Anton, Esq. to provide you with effective, efficient, and aggressive litigation and trial representation.

Our Approach

We are a boutique law firm which combines many years of experience with a very hands-on approach. We take the time to get to know both you and your particular circumstances in order to provide you and your family with complete answers to all of your questions and to provide top-quality legal representation. We begin this process with a no obligation initial case analysis. During this analysis you will learn a tremendous amount about your case. Once this first meeting is concluded you will understand the type of office we operate and you will understand whether this firm is the right fit for you and your case.

Florida Collaborative Divorce Attorneys

We proudly represent clients in collaborative divorce cases. In a collaborative divorce both spouses and their attorneys must agree, in writing, to use their best efforts to negotiate a settlement of the divorce action. Clients also agree in writing to be honest with each other and to provide full financial disclosure. If experts such as a CPA are needed, they are typically mutual experts hired to work for both spouses in the case. For additional reasons beyond the scope of this paragraph, both attorneys and both spouses have considerable incentive to successfully conclude a negotiated settlement of their case. David Anton, Esq. is a founding member of the Next Generation Divorce Group of Tampa Bay and thus has considerable expertise in this type of case resolution. (See the “Collaborative Law” section of this website for further information about collaborative divorce law).

Tampa Mediation Lawyers and Family Law Mediation

At mediation both sides of the divorce or other family law case, along with their attorneys, meet with a professional mediator. The goal is to resolve and settle your entire case or as many of the issues of your case as possible. The resulting agreements are then committed to writing and thereafter incorporated into court orders. David Anton, Esq. has been a State of Florida licensed mediator for approximately 25 years wherein he has worked as an impartial neutral leading and guiding mediation sessions. In addition, during the past 35 years he has been involved in several hundreds of mediations as a client representative.

Reviewing the Facts

This process begins by conducting a clear and understandable initial case analysis. This is then when the particular facts and circumstances of your case are carefully reviewed. Towards the end of your meeting we discuss the likely results of you case including your likely entitlements and your likely obligations.
