St. Petersburg Divorce Lawyer

If you are considering a divorce, or you or your spouse have already started the process, then you may need the counsel of a family/divorce lawyer. My name is Garth Goodman, and I am a family law and divorce attorney with over 15 years of litigation experience. Please feel free to contact my office at 727-895-5858 for a free initial consultation. As your lawyer, I will personally advise you on your rights and responsibilities.
The primary emphasis of my law practice is Family/Divorce Law, which includes:

Although divorce proceedings are known to be adversarial, you may prefer to use a collaborative approach to resolve your differences with your spouse.

My parents separated one week prior to my ninth birthday. I vividly remember the day I left the only home I had ever known. I believe one of the essential ingredients to effective representation of you, the Client, is an understanding of the emotional impact a divorce may have on you and your family.
As your attorney and advocate, I firmly believe that one of my services is to seek an amicable resolution between you and your spouse. In this regard, I will actively engage your spouse and his or her counsel to find common ground. The Mediation process is usually instrumental in assisting the parties with reaching a settlement. Spouses may not always be able to reach a final agreement, but it should always be the goal.
When you arrive at my office for your initial consultation, you may be anxious or confused about your rights and responsibilities - perhaps as a result of certain misconceptions about the legal process. I will make every effort to inform you about the divorce process and procedural considerations (see also, Legal Process). With knowledge comes power.
