Separation Agreement Attorney Fort Myers

Is a separation agreement right for you? Get the facts.

If you would like to set up a separation agreement, consult one of the Fort Myers separation agreement attorneys at Powell, Jackman & Ricciardi, P.A. 

How does a separation agreement work?

A married couple can establish a separation agreement in lieu of filing for a divorce, but the separation agreement must be fair, equitable, and transparent for both parties if it is to be considered legally binding. In certain scenarios, such an agreement essentially provides the same outcome as a legal separation would in other states. The key difference is that the court would not resolve disputes regarding the agreement. This means that the spouses must submit to the terms of the agreement on their own accord as they would any other contract.

“They were very efficient, pleasant, and professional.”

We used P,J,S & R PA to generate an Operating Agreement for a newly formed LLC and to file several Quit Claim Deeds for the purchased property. They were very efficient, pleasant, and professional. Based on this very positive experience, we would recommend this company, and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

“The firm surely does stand by its name as Your Advocates!”

I hired this firm to help handle an eviction matter. The matter was contested and went to trial. Richard Ricciardi, Esq. handled the matter along with their great legal assistants. The case ended up in trial and we won with the help and expertise of Richard. He was extremely professional throughout the journey and very experienced in this matter. I would recommend this firm to anybody in an uncontested eviction, contested eviction or any legal needs. The professionalism and value I received was a pleasant surprise. The firm surely does stand by its name as Your Advocates! Thank you Richard, Tammy, Catherine, Francy and everybody for your support!

“Diana’s experience, professionalism, and dedication resulted in a most favorable outcome of my case and her negotiation skills proved it.”

I had the pleasure of working with Diana Castrillon on my workers’ compensation case and the least I can say is that she is an outstanding attorney. Diana’s experience, professionalism, and dedication resulted in a most favorable outcome of my case and her negotiation skills proved it. I will definitely recommend Diana as your preferred WC attorney.
