We Are Divorce And
Family Law Attorneys For Men

If you are going through a divorce, child custody battle, or another matter relating to family law, it can be a confusing, lonely, and exhausting experience. You are probably uncertain about your rights and concerned about child custody, financial ramifications, and how best to protect yourself, your assets, and your family. While you may be aware that Florida statutes favor mothers and that as a father and a husband, you could already be at a disadvantage. The more prepared you are, and the sooner you seek legal counsel, the better!

Divorce not only ends a marriage, but in many ways, changes the lifestyles that went with it. Divorce and family law addresses the dynamics of family relationships from a legal perspective, and sets the parameters for parenting, custody, financial support, rights against domestic violence, and other family matters based on Florida law.

We are recognized for representing men during this difficult time and combine highly personalized, compassionate, and detailed representation with aggressive advocacy for each of our client’s rights.

From our experience we have found there are many missteps men make before or during a divorce, or with family law issues. Proper representation, especially from a firm that specializes as divorce attorneys for husbands in Tampa, FL, will dramatically alter the outcome in your favor. Again, going it alone is not the answer, so take the time to learn more about how to avoid these costly mistakes.

John was exactly what my girls and I needed through my divorce and criminal case. He was on top of communication, clear expectations, but most importantly he produced the results needed for myself and my family. He is very blunt and to the point. When in court he is a an expert with his words and knows how to win. Very happy that I found him for my divorce.
Response from the owner:In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers thanks you very much!
5 stars isn’t enough.
This is the kind of lawyer you hire when everything is on the line. If you’re contemplating legal counsel regarding your presence in your child’s life, make no mistake. Everything is on the line.

John kept me grounded through a situation that had every reason to make me spiral. When emotions are high and everything feels overwhelming, what you need most is someone who’s going to be honest with you. Someone who tells you the truth, keeps you focused, and makes sure you handle what actually matters instead of getting lost in how you feel.

That’s what I got here. Real guidance. Real structure. Real results.

I came into this expecting to fight. I walked away with more than I could have asked for. I received peace of mind, clarity, and the security of knowing I can be there for my child.

That’s all that matters. And if that’s what you’re fighting for too, this is the team you want.
Response from the owner:In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers thanks you very much!
John is an excellent attorney. Unlike some other attorneys you may speak with, John is very straight forward, sticking to the facts, and will tell you the realities of a case whether they are good or bad. Throughout my time working with him, he kept me from getting tied up with all the what ifs and theoretical outcomes, sticking to the facts we had in front of us. It is obvious he makes decisions based on his client's best interest and is very knowledgeable.

I also really appreciated that he did not "nickel and dime" me for questions or quick chats on the phone. He was always extremely responsive to texts, phone calls and emails, usually responding immediately. I recognize that as an experienced attorney, his time is extremely valuable so this was something I thought was very generous of him and for sure putting his client first.

When it came time for mediation, John and Suzanne had over-prepared our case which I truly believe helped to give us a favorable outcome. I hope I do not need an attorney again, but if I do, John will be at the top of my list! I would highly recommend him for any man that needs representation in a family law case!
Response from the owner:In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers thanks you very much!
John is an absolutely amazing attorney. He tells it to you like it is and won't charge you for things unnecessary that won't contribute to the best outcome for your case.

He's extremely prompt in replying to messages and emails. His presence and knowledge in the courtroom was outstanding. If I could give him 10 stars I would...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Expect to man up if you hire him... No sugarcoating here...have tough skin as he is very direct in his communication but I assure you he will get the job done ✅
Response from the owner:In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers thanks you very much!
Just wanted to hurry me off the phone. After he made sure the first thing he talked about was money. Didn't help me at all, whole thing is a waste of time
Response from the owner:That is absolutely not what happened. Why would you lie like this? You said you couldn’t afford the retainer. I then told you we take credit cards, we take payments from third parties, and gave you other options to retain us. You shot all of them down, said you were just getting out of debt, didn’t have a credit card, already have a personal loan. I then said okay if we can help you in the future, please call. That is the truth. This review is you just being upset because you couldn’t afford the services, but it’s not an accurate representation and serves nothing but to I guess make you feel better.

Dear John GeGirolamo

I am writing to extend my deepest thanks for the exceptional service and support you provided throughout my case. Your professionalism, patience, and approachable manner made what could have been a very overwhelming process feel manageable and clear.

From our first conversation, you made me feel comfortable and heard. You took the time to answer all of my questions—no matter how small—and explained things in a way I could easily understand. Your accessibility and responsiveness meant a great deal to me, especially during the more uncertain moments.

It’s not always easy to find someone in this profession who genuinely puts a client’s peace of mind first, and I truly appreciate the way you handled my matter with both competence and care.

Thank you once again for your hard work and for being someone I could trust during this important time
sincerely
Rudy white.
Response from the owner:In Law We Trust Family and Divorce lawyers thanks you very much!
He is saying it wasn't him he is lying . How bad are you. Terrible experience from the very first phone call. I reached out to schedule a consultation for my case, and after setting the appointment, I received a follow-up call from a lawyer in the office. Unfortunately, he was aggressive, rude, and dismissive whenever I asked questions or sought clarification about my case. This lack of professionalism was alarming, especially considering they expected to charge a significant amount of $4000-$8,000 for services that I could handle myself in court. Don't be misled by the inflated reviews; it’s important to be cautious.
Response from the owner:I do not think you have the correct firm. We have never charged an $8000 retainer. Hopefully you find the correct firm and remove this review.
John and Laura did a great job. They made this transition as smooth as possible from paperwork to answering questions. I definitely recommend them. Good people If you need them. Hope not to have to use them again, but I definitely would.
Response from the owner:In Law We Trust Family and Divorce Lawyers thanks you very much!
This firm it’s really awesome they handle ur case very well very professional, I had a divorce case this firm was helpful and well communicated with client and they not after ur money instead ur case I really appreciate and recommend others JHon was super intelligent and tough for my case 👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙
Response from the owner:In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers thanks you very much!
Divorce is never easy. I never thought I’d have to go through a divorce but there I was. I contacted several firms to handle my case, but none seemed to feel right. When I contacted In Law We Trust I set up a consultation for the next day. John contacted me the same day and answered all my questions. From start to finish the process was smooth. I was always kept up to date during the process. John and the firm know what they’re doing. There are a lot of moving parts during a divorce, be patient, trust the process, know you’re in good hands. You are hiring experience, let them take care of the legal part, don’t try and out lawyer them, listen and trust that they know what they are doing.

So, what areas of family law can we

Child Custody & Visitation

Divorce and family law proceedings bring several legal issues into play, particularly when children are involved. One of the most difficult aspects is working out a parenting plan and arranging schedules in the children’s best interests, while also accommodating the demands on parents’ lives. A parenting plan establishes legal custody to decide who makes the decisions regarding the health, welfare, education, and religious upbringing, as well as, physical custody to decide who the children live with, including providing daily needs, food, shelter, clothing, transportation to school and social events, and finally parenting time to determine the non-custodial parent’s appropriate time with the children.

Banking & Finances

There are many misconceptions about the division of property during a divorce, and some of those misconceptions have to do with the division of bank accounts. The divorce court judge will determine whether the funds are joint property or one spouse’s separate property by applying Florida state law. Getting what is rightfully yours in a divorce, no matter whose name is listed on the asset, can be complicated. Our firm works with men just like you, who do not want to take a chance with their future financial well-being. As your legal counsel, we will make sure that you not only understand your rights but are confident that your assets and best interests are always represented.

Child Support

Florida Child Support Guidelines dictate child support calculations. However, some couples have special situations that require a more customized approach. The courts will attempt to estimate how much the parents would have spent on their children if they remained together. We work to see that child support payments are structured to make sure both parents pay their fair share of the financial responsibilities.

Equitable Distribution

We also help identify accrued debt and other obligations. Our firm’s specialist expertise in understanding Florida Law and Fathers’ Rights and will ensure that there is a thorough examination of all of the financial factors involved.

Alimony & Spousal Support

Today, both spouses are often working, and not every divorce involves alimony. The crucial factors in awarding alimony are determining the extent of a spouse’s inability to be self-supportive, along with the lifestyle previously maintained during the marriage. In a household with only one spouse working, things can get complicated and emotional, but the Law Offices of In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers know how to manage such issues and keep the emotion out of it.

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence is often either a cause or symptom of family issues and divorce. The main priority is ensuring safety for victims. That can be done through a protective order or restraining order, which Florida statutes refer to as an “injunction for protection.” Unfortunately, this is often a necessary step taken by family members who are fearful of their domestic situation. Whether you are the protected person, or the opposing party, be sure to seek legal counsel.

FIRM OVERVIEW

We believe in giving men going through a divorce in Tampa, FL the right tools. As a result, our firm is dedicated to four core principles in every case.

Fearless Use of the Court System

Many attorneys fail to use the court system to their client’s advantage, will shy away from a court hearing, and try to convince their clients to settle. In reality, a better outcome is likely found in court, or a better settlement can be negotiated and achieved before a hearing. Our opponents usually fear the courtroom. Court is stressful for attorneys and clients, difficult to predict, and may expose the lesser attorney’s limitations. We excel in the courtroom, and proceed to trial with confidence, expertise, and a commitment to our clients. Attorneys hate to lose, but at In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers, we love to win!

Direct Contact

As a client, you deserve direct and frequent communication with your attorneys.

Your concerns are important and your case is always handled in a very personalized manner. You can count on us to be attentive and responsive to your needs.

The Truth, Even When it Hurts

Most attorneys tend to tell people what they want to hear. This is especially true at the beginning of the representation, before the hard work starts. As family attorneys for men in Tampa, FL, we don’t think this is helpful to clients, and in fact, we are sure this approach harms a client’s case. We are not shy about telling our clients what we think they need to do, whether they want to hear it or not. Of course, what to do is up to our clients, but they never lack for strong, helpful guidance. Bottom line: you will get the truth – good, bad, or ugly – from us at all times, because that is what you will need to be successful in this process.

We Protect Florida Fathers’ Rights In Divorce

Our goal for you is fair financial obligations with meaningful time sharing. If you are without children, we will work diligently to protect the financial status you have worked so hard to obtain. At In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers we understand the unique needs of men in divorce and related legal proceedings – we have dedicated our practice to fighting for men’s rights.
