Facing a divorce in Miami? A paid divorce consultation gives you personalized, actionable advice tailored to your situation — before you file or respond to court papers. Unlike a free consultation, where you spend most of the meeting explaining basics, a paid consultation lets me review your case in advance. By the time we talk, I already know your situation, and the conversation goes straight to what you should do about it.
Why Isn’t This a Free Divorce Consultation?
Most Miami family lawyers advertise free consultations. I don’t, and the reason is worth explaining.
In a free consultation, the attorney learns about your case for the first time while you’re sitting there. That’s not a criticism of the practice — it’s structural. The firm hasn’t been paid to prepare, so the meeting becomes an intake interview: they hear enough to decide whether to take your case, and you spend most of the time supplying background.
A paid consultation inverts that. I read your questionnaire first. By the time we talk, I know what your situation is, which means the conversation starts where a free consultation would end.
| Free consultation | Case Assessment Session | |
| Attorney prepares beforehand | No | Yes — questionnaire reviewed in advance |
| Time spent on background | Most of it | None |
| Legal advice given | Usually general | Specific to your facts |
| Length | Varies by firm | 30 minutes or two hours — same fee |
| Cost | Free | $250 flat |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a divorce consultation cost in Miami?
Family law consultations in Florida generally run between $150 and $500. A paid divorce consultation with me is $250, flat — the same whether we talk for thirty minutes or two hours. Many Miami firms advertise free consultations instead; the difference is what happens before the meeting.
Why do lawyers charge for consultations?
Because preparation takes time. When a consultation is free, the attorney typically hasn’t reviewed anything beforehand, so the meeting doubles as an intake interview — the firm is deciding whether to take your case while you supply background. A paid consultation covers the time spent reading your questionnaire in advance, which is what makes it possible to give you specific answers rather than general ones.
Is the $250 credited toward my case if I hire you?
No. The session is a standalone service with its own value, and it isn’t a deposit against future work. You’re paying for prepared, specific advice about your situation — whether or not you hire me, and whether or not you end up needing an attorney at all.
What if I decide not to hire an attorney?
That’s a legitimate outcome, and it happens. Some people finish the session and realize their situation is simpler than they feared. Others learn their case doesn’t justify what litigation would cost. Knowing that is worth $250 on its own.
Can I talk to more than one divorce attorney?
Yes, and it’s worth understanding why this matters in family law. Once you’ve discussed the details of your case with an attorney, that attorney generally cannot then represent your spouse — a conflict of interest arises. Consulting several lawyers is your right.
What happens after I submit the form?
I contact you within one business day and send a questionnaire. You complete and return it before we meet, which is what lets me prepare. We schedule the session around both our calendars, the $250 is payable before it begins, and we meet by telephone or Zoom.
