From our Tampa office, Rechel & Associates guides families across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties through divorce with judgment, discretion, and a clear plan for what comes next.
Family-law focused since 1992. Office at 2913 Busch Lake Boulevard, Tampa.
Rechel & Associates was founded in Tampa on January 1, 1992, and family law has been the firm's only practice from the start. The people who call us are our neighbors: parents from Carrollwood and Temple Terrace, families in South Tampa, service members stationed at MacDill.
That matters more than it might seem. A divorce is not just a legal filing. It is your school calendar, your commute, your church, your Sunday routines. Counsel from inside the community understands what is actually at stake in the details, because we live with the same details.
You work directly with a senior attorney who has practiced family law in this county for decades, not a rotating case number at a marketing-mill firm.
Hillsborough County family-law matters are generally heard at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse in downtown Tampa. For most of our clients, that first hearing date is the most intimidating line on the calendar.
Familiarity is what we can offer there. We know the building, the procedures, and the rhythm of the local family divisions, and we prepare you for all of it before you walk in: where to go, what will happen, what is expected of you.
That familiarity does not change the law, and it never predicts an outcome. What it does is take the strangeness out of a hard day, so your attention stays where it belongs.
MacDill Air Force Base is part of Tampa, and military families here face issues a civilian divorce never raises. We help service members and military spouses work through them in plain language.
How the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act treats military retired pay in a Florida divorce, and what equitable distribution means for it.
Parenting plans built to anticipate deployment, temporary duty, and permanent change of station, instead of breaking the first time orders arrive.
The protections the SCRA gives active-duty service members, and how they can affect the timing of a case.
What happens when a family's home of record and duty station are different states, and what that means for filing in Florida.
The hardest part of a divorce is often the beginning, when the questions outnumber the answers and no one around you seems to understand what you are actually deciding.
From your first conversation with us, you have someone in your corner who has sat across the table from families in exactly this season. We listen first, explain things in plain language, and help you see the path in front of you clearly.
You work directly with a senior attorney, not a rotating case number. That steadiness is the point.
