Right in the neighborhood.
For Carrollwood families, steady family-law counsel sits close by, right here in Hillsborough County. Our Tampa office is just off the corridors you drive every day, and we are focused exclusively on divorce and family law.
Family-law focused since 1992. Every consultation is confidential.
When a marriage is coming apart, the last thing you need is a long drive to sort it out. Our office sits on Busch Lake Boulevard, just off Busch Boulevard near Carrollwood, near enough that meeting with a family-law attorney does not have to upend your week or your children's school-day routine.
Carrollwood grew up in two chapters: the original 1950s subdivision that took shape around spring-fed Lake Carroll, and the Carrollwood Village expansion that spread west of Dale Mabry Highway in the decades after. Families here have put down deep roots, and a divorce often turns on the home and the life built inside those streets.
Because Carrollwood grew as an unincorporated part of northwest Hillsborough County rather than its own city, a case that begins in the streets around Lake Carroll or Carrollwood Village is heard downtown through the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in Tampa. Knowing that before you file means you arrive prepared rather than unsettled, and our Tampa office sits only a short drive from that courthouse.
Carrollwood sits in unincorporated Hillsborough County, so its family-law matters are heard in Tampa, at the county's main courthouse. Knowing the venue before you arrive means you walk in prepared instead of unsettled.
800 E. Twiggs Street, Tampa 33602
The county's main judicial center, downtown on Twiggs Street, is home to the Circuit Court's Family Law Division. Dissolution, time-sharing, and support matters for Carrollwood families are decided here, and if yours is set for this courthouse, nothing about the day will feel unfamiliar when it comes.
Edgecomb Courthouse, 1st Floor, Room 101
The Clerk's Family Law Division, on the first floor of the Edgecomb Courthouse, is where petitions are filed and family-court records are kept for Hillsborough County. Its customer service center keeps regular weekday hours, and we handle the filing details so the paperwork is one less worry for you.
Which division hears your matter depends on your circumstances, and we confirm that at your consultation. Time spent in a courthouse buys preparation and steadiness, never influence and never a promised result.

Because ours is very likely the nearest family-law office to your neighborhood, dropping in for a face-to-face conversation costs you little more than a short local drive. Even so, much of the work between meetings moves quietly in the background, and a great deal gets settled without you ever leaving your kitchen table. We reserve the in-person time for the moments that truly call for it, and we set those around the hours you can actually spare.
Carrollwood is part of unincorporated Hillsborough County, so a Carrollwood divorce is filed and heard through the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, the county's court system based in Tampa. The hearings themselves take place at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse downtown, and petitions and records pass through the Clerk's Family Law Division there. The particular judge and division assigned to you depend on your circumstances, and we walk through exactly what that means for you when we meet, so none of it arrives as a surprise.
Close. Our office sits on Busch Lake Boulevard in Tampa, just off Busch Boulevard, one of the corridors that runs by Carrollwood, so for most families here it is a short and familiar drive rather than a trek across the county. That proximity is part of the point: when you are managing a divorce alongside work and children, having your family-law attorney nearby takes one more strain off an already full week. When meeting in person makes sense, it is genuinely convenient.
When life comes apart, counsel should be close to home.
For families in the neighborhoods around Lake Carroll and Carrollwood Village, careful senior counsel is not somewhere across the county. It is a short drive down familiar roads like Busch Boulevard and Dale Mabry, and the attention you receive here is the same we bring to every family across Tampa Bay.
Of every community we serve, Carrollwood may be the closest to our door, and in a hard season that nearness is more than convenience. When something urgent surfaces, you can sit across the table from your attorney the same week, without losing a working day to the far side of the county.
