Does This Sound Like You?
Your Ex Is Keeping You From Your Kids
A parent doesn't get to cut you off after a divorce. If you're being blocked from seeing your children — or you don't even know where they are — we can get you in front of a judge fast.
You Were Accused, and the Judge Believed Her
Your wife said you hit her. You didn't — but the injunction still went through, and now you're out of your own house. False allegations happen, and they can cost you everything before you get a real chance to respond. We know how to fight an injunction built on one person's word.
He Stopped Paying and You're Covering Everything
Your husband makes the money and stopped paying the bills to force your hand. You shouldn't have to choose between rent and what your kids need. We can get emergency support ordered.
Your Spouse Is Spending Marital Money on Someone Else
If marital funds are paying for someone else's apartment, gifts, or trips, that money belongs at the table — not out the door. We trace it and bring it back into the case.

Did you receive divorce papers?
Don't sign anything until we talk. Florida gives you 20 days to respond, and what you do in those first days can shape the entire case.

When parents disagree on timesharing, the court decides. I build parenting plans rooted in Florida law and your children's best interests.

Asset protection
From the marital home to retirement accounts and businesses, I protect what you've built and pursue what's rightfully yours.
A decade of trial experience behind every case.
The law isn't paperwork, it's strategy. John P. Sherman has spent nearly a decade inside Florida's courtrooms, handling hundreds of depositions and contested matters across family law and personal injury. That courtroom experience shapes every case our firm takes, from the first consultation to the final outcome.

Trial-Tested Strategy
Nearly a decade of depositions, hearings, and contested trials gives our firm an edge most practices can't match. We know how opposing counsel builds a case and how Florida judges think, and we plan around it from day one.
-
Attorney-Led at Every Stage
John sets the strategy and stays involved throughout your case. Every step happens under his direct guidance, so nothing falls through the cracks and no detail gets overlooked.
-
Honest Case Assessments
No sugar-coating. Before you spend a dollar, we outline the real strengths and risks of your case so you can make informed decisions about your future.
