DIVORCE 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 is a Drastic Change — You Need a Guide

Divorce not only ends a marriage, but in many ways, changes the lifestyles that went with it.

John is an attack dog with a heart. He understands our struggle and will work relentlessly to "soften the blow" of what is for most men a traumatic event. He was my second lawyer through my divorce and the difference between him and the first was night and day! Hire him now, thank me later.

John and Suzanne were very detail oriented and committed to seeing that my divorce was fair. Unlike the majority of divorces which are initiated by the woman I was the one who initiated. John is a no BS kind of guy who tells you straight up what to expect.

John Ditirolamo, ESQ has been on top of every issue I have come up against in my divorce, children custody and so many other things. I could not ask for a better attorney to fight for me. He is one of a kind and he will always take the situation serious. He is trust worthy and will give the best advise to his clients. I am very happy I chose him for my attorney.Thank you John for all you do!Adriane

I didn’t have very high expectations when I was searching for a lawyer. I had called a few offices that had good ratings online and they either gave me a sales pitch or tried to scare me into thinking I should hire them. Later I received a call from John and instead of telling me what he could do and how much it would cost he gave me some advice he thought could solve my problem and offered to help if it was still needed after. The charges were dropped and I wasn’t charged, I’m grateful for his help and honesty. Definitely recommend!

Sent in consultation request for general questions on possible divorce. He called me back VERY QUICKLY and spent much more time than I expected answering whatever questions I could think of and shooting it very straight. Then continued to respond to me via text on questions that came to me after the fact. Definitely will use him if it comes to it and would recommend him for sure

Any guy going threw a divorce needs to hire John and his team . John's commitment and communication skill are amazing!! I don't understand anything with the courts or the system processes. I had a ton of questions about every other day and John was very patient with me threw the whole process. It's very important to have John as your legal attorney to protect you and your children.

Before hiring John, I was court ordered to parenting time only 2 days out of the week. As a parent/Father who is involved in my children's lives, this was unacceptable to me. My divorce was headed in the wrong direction. I made the greatest and best decision to hire John who answered all of my questions and was very knowledgable in Family Law. Throughout my time with John, if I had a question or concern, he was always available via phone call/text/and email. If for some reason (and this was extremely rare) I couldn't reach John on the first try, he would return the text and/or call back within minutes. He was always available. John is the type of attorney that will supply you with truth and honesty in your case. During my time with him, if he said it, then that's what happened. John was honest all throughout the process. His relentlessness and determination yielded positive results and increased my time with my children to 50/50 shared parental custody. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. John was also very reasonable and worked with me with cost. John comes highly recommended and is highly respected in the courtroom. My divorce is now final with there is no better feeling to know that John had my back throughout the process and exceeded my expectations.

After fighting for split timesharing for my children for the last 5 years, I decided to hire John. John is the most tenacious attorney out there. He was always available anytime I had questions and provided me the support I needed. He was professional and it was clear that he knew his stuff. John will absolutely fight for the rights you have as a father. As a result of John’s effort and hard work, I’m pleased to say that he was able to get me the timesharing I was asking for. Nothing I say will ever be enough to thank John and his firm for what they did for me and my family. My children are thrilled they get to spend more family time with me and this will positively impact them for the rest of their lives!

Your reading through all the the reviews here, just as I did in January 2022. Being married for 36 years to the same woman, I needed a Law Firm. From the very first day I met with John DeGirolamo at his firm, when I left there I knew I hired the right law firm. John will make you feel at ease from the beginning. My divorce is final now, thanks to John and his team for the 5 star service that I received. If your in need of a powerhouse law firm, call John DeGirolamo !!!!!!!

Simply put Johnny is the best. There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t been said already. I have experience with a few different lawyers and I will tell you he stands apart. He has a no nonsense approach (to his own clients as well) which I appreciate. He is very prompt just like every other review says and willing to go the extra mile to help. Very understanding to your life as well. Not just someone there saying “not my problem” or not replying at all. He does his best to accommodate. Also being able to communicate with him directly even past 5 o clock is something you can’t just say enough about. Then his performance in the courtroom is unparalleled. Highly recommend.

Many times I sat back and let John work and it was glorious! John’s personality tells me he was born to be a lawyer.If you are considering John as your lawyer, it’s going to be hard to find a better one.

Mr. John is an excellent and straight-to-the-point person. He is always available to respond to my questions. If he is not able to respond he texts and calls as soon as he can. I have never had to wait long for a response from him. He keeps his words. He took care of the case. The case ended the way he stated. He is the man. I will rate him higher than 5 stars.

----------------------------READ ME --------------------------------------------A bit late, but I wanted to ensure John received the credit he deserved. He was a crucial part in making my divorce a smooth process, allowing me to heal myself as man and father. Thank you for everything, truly!My situation: It was late 2021 (December timeframe) and I was past my breaking point with the ex-spouse at that time, and had finally decided to start the divorce process. I NEEDED to get the divorce started and finalized as soon as possible, due to her being emotionally and mentally abusive throughout the separation. Various situations occurred where our kids’ safety came into play. I was no longer going to allow her to jeopardize their well-being nor my mental health.On the first day of my search for an attorney I ended up calling more than 10 attorneys, all with varying fees, promises, and demeanors. Not ONE asked about my situation, what I could expect during this process, recommendations, nor provided any time frames for said process. I was, honestly, mentally defeated and depressed. The next day I called two more attorney offices, the first didn’t answer and the second one I was scheduled to talk to John DeGirolamo. I was ready for the meeting, had tons of questions lined up, and was eager to get the process started. Lucky for me, John had an opening and ended up reaching to see if I’d like to discuss further, which I did. The first thing I asked was his price and how FAST he could get this done. His price was fair AND cheaper in comparison to other outrageous fees I was quoted from various other attorneys, but he also advised me that he will do everything he could to get this specific case done within 2 months. I was more than happy with both of these parameters! He then proceeded to ask me more about what was going on (with ex) and how I wanted to proceed (custody wise), which was for majority/full custody, he acknowledged. He gave me an overview of what I could expect regarding timeframe, documentation, what my custody desires meant, and what would happen if the case took a harsh right turn. What meant the MOST to me was that he talked to me as a MAN and told me where I stood, he advised me what he would do, what I needed to do and what it would take. At this point I appreciated his consult and insight significantly, because EVERY single prior attorney I had spoke with treated me like CHECK or just a NUMBER, and I hated it.Fast forward a bit, I had followed John’s direction to the T and was quick with everything he requested of me (documentation, calls, deadlines…). Mind you the expected time for this divorce was 2 MONTHS and possibly more (which was already a fast deadline on its own) …. But MY case was finalized (from petition to final disposition!) in 34 calendar days! To some that might not mean anything, but to me it was everything. I felt like a huge burden/weight was off my shoulders and I could breathe again. And it was John that knocked it out of the park, through and through. Of course, every case might vary slightly but this is my personal experience with John, his demeanor, his assistance, and his overall expertise.If you are curious or need more ‘verifiable’ data, here’s my case# 20DR015785. See for yourselfThanks again John!----------------------------READ ME --------------------------------------------

I initially chose John because of his reviews. PEOPLE HIS REVIEWS ARE LEGIT!!!!! This man is an impeccable lawyer & his team is just as incredible. During my free consultation with John he reviewed my case and understood what needed to be done, we agreed on a plan to end the divorce as quickly & painless as possible. I remember him telling me that he was most def in this with me til the end. He professionally, but aggressively put pressure on my ex’s attorney to finalize. Still not sure how, but John got my divorce finalized in about 4 months. THANX JOHN!!!! I am so grateful & thankful for you & your team sir! John was very easy to work with, responsive and did actually what he said he would. Thanx again John!!!! I highly recommend hiring John for representation if you ever find yourself in this similar situation, YOU WILL NOT REGET IT!!! John and his team by far exceeded my expectations!!!

Johnny is an excellent attorney who handled my divorce exceptionally well! He made himself available whenever I had any questions or concerns. A lot of attorneys are so hard to get a hold of but John made sure I had his personal cell number in case I needed anything at anytime and always responded in a timely fashion. He's also a very funny and a down to earth individual who isn't afraid to tell you like it is and he'll do the same for you in court! These past 8 to 9 months have been difficult but John made sure to bridge the gap for me and make it as painless as possible. Thank you John for all the hard work and your professionalism! I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a family lawyer!

This man will fight for you till he turns blue. He will tell you exactly how it is and what you need to do. John made the seemingly impossible very much possible. If it wasn’t for him I could’ve very much so lost the chance to see my daughter grow in her life. I’m grateful to have had such a great male only representation having my back. I won’t get into details but take my word for it! With that said give this man a call. He will tell you how it is which at times can be scary but it’s always in your best interest whatever he can try and help you with.

Leading up to my divorce I was always distrustful of lawyers, however speaking with John and others it changed my entire view. I had great interactions and clear communication the entire time. Being a newly retired Army Vet I tend to like clear, direct, no nonsense information and that's exactly what John provides, your not paying to hear what you want, your paying for clear, informative and professional individuals who are there for you the whole way. If I ever had any questions (and I had plenty even repetitive) John was a mere text or call away, or anyone at the law firm at that, countless hours were spent breaking down the steps I need to take. They did an amazing job teaching me. Overall I am incredibly thankful and impressed by the entire organization.

We owe this Smile to John DeGirolamo.My ex-wife was withholding my son from me, I could barely see him. That's why I hired the law firm: In Law we Trust. This is the firm to go for divorcing men. In a short period of time, thanks to the pressure John put on the other party, I was sharing time with my son and he even stayed with me overnights.John was always available to me and he answered all my question right away, his answers are short and precise. I felt comfortable with the firm in general due to their professionalism and rapid responses. I'm satisfied with the results of my divorce, the whole process took only a little over 3 months, and it was settled in mediation, John is a very tough negotiator.The marital settlement he wrote for my case is a legal masterpiece, everything was covered, even my ex-wife has tried to screw me over and I just go to that contract for reference, when I read it through I feel protected.I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!

Let me start by saying that whatever John says will happen in Court actually will happen. I called him earlier this year regarding a situation that my ex was putting me through. He spent the time needed to bluntly explain what my options were and what to expect as an outcome.He's VERY responsive. He took calls from me on his cell phone even in the evenings to answer my questions. And if he wasn't available, he would quickly send a text on when he could talk.Even though he was confident of a win in this case, it was more of a win for us than he prepared me for! John is very knowledgeable in Family Law, he will not sugar coat anything, he gets right to the point, and he's aggressive in court. This is what you want from a good attorney! I can't recommend this firm strongly enough for any family legal issue that you may be going through!

After reading many reviews and going through several attorney profiles I came across Mr. DeGirolamo I decided to give him a call after hitting a road block trying to handle my case on my own. I highly recommended him for his knowledge on both family law and criminal law. He handle my new case and amended restrictions on an old case that was closed and was handle by another lawyer. Mr DeGirolomo doesn't tell you what you want to hear to make you feel better or make false promises that is impossible to achieved but he discuss your case base on the law, facts and the evidence on the case and where you stand and what he can achieved. Basically he didn't sugar coat anything to get your business which means to me a respectable Lawyer. I didn't know what the outcome of my case will be and expect it to carry on for about a year or more. Mr. DeGirolamo had gotten me what I want and even more and only took a few months extremely quicker that I’d expected. Another good quality is his turn around time to getting back to you is extremely quicker than any lawyer I have every spoken too or had. Many days we were texting or emailing back and forth and if it was later in the night, holidays, weekend or he was in court he did acknowledge you and got back to you later that day or the next morning. I’m please to say that I highly recommend him to handle your case or give him a call and see what he can do for you.

Divorce is never fun, but John removed a lot of the stress from it. John was easy to communicate with and very responsive. John is extremely knowledgeable in regards to family law and his associates are great also. He will be upfront with you about everything and will not sugar coat it. He was always a text or email away and literally would respond within minutes. I couldn't have chosen a better lawyer to represent me in my divorce. You will not regret retaining John and his associates for your divorce. Although John advocates for helping men in divorces, he is also great at helping women as well.I Highly recommend "In Law We Trust, P.A."

My experience working with the firm In Law We Trust to complete my divorce was an exceptional one. John and his staff were very detail and attentive to my case and what I wanted to accomplish. Response time to my questions were immediate by phone, text or email any time of the day. John made it easy to go through what would have been a difficult process as he explained in details the steps to achieve my goals each step of the way. In no time my divorce was filed and finalized as he negotiated on my behalf through the process. Couldn't be more please with his knowledge and work ethic along with his no nonsense approach; and finally my outcome.Don't think twice about using the firm In Law We Trust as you will not be disappointed. Professionalism, knowledgeable and timeliness is top notch.

Could not have asked for a better experience. Reached out to John DeGirolamo and he answered right away and went to work. We tried another lawyer as our divorce was amicable, we just wanted to file. The other lawyer was unresponsive and we waited over a year. As soon as I contacted John, we were happily on our separate ways within 8 weeks. Probably would have been faster if the courts weren't backed up as this was during COVID. Every time I reached out to John by phone, the call was answered. Every time I sent an email, immediate response.Don't make the same mistake I did, go with "In Law We Trust" the fist time, you will not be disappointed.

Divorces are scary and if you’re new to the legal system, it’s extremely daunting. Mr. DeGirolamo’s practice made it extremely easy and transparent. He laid everything out up front and took the time to explain the process every step of the way. He’s got a level of experience that instilled confidence and honestly, some peace of mind. I cannot recommend him enough. The amount of experience he has means he’s always a step ahead of both you and the legal system.

I highly recommend John! He is very knowledgeable and always responded to me within 5 minutes. After letting go of 2 other terrible attorneys I was able to find John to represent me. He took my case on one month before trail was set and always informed me of things immediately. I had an overall great experience with him and I recommended him to anyone in need of an experienced attorney.

I contracted John in late October 2020. My divorce was final in May. I highly recommend this attorney for men seeking sound legal representation and would not hesitate to re engage him for any legal council. Johns knowledge, tenacity and straight forward approach are what got the job done. Even in the face of somewhat unique issues, Johns experience kept things moving along. Johns rigorous adherence and application of Florida family law, prevented the other attorney from engaging in any shenanigans. Likewise, Johns support staffs knowledge and professionalism, in my opinion are unparalleled. If you are in the unfortunate position of needing legal council, this is the man to have in your corner hands down!!!Jeff Rappaport

If I had the option to rate John 100 stars I would, I strongly recommend anybody going through a divorce to look no further!!!I have honestly never been more impressed with someone’s quality of work in my life.He is Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and has the utmost integrity. John set clear expectations from day one, he tells you what you NEED to hear, not what you want to hear (which I learned very quickly how important that was). He guided me through the whole process, was ALWAYS available, responded with in minutes by email or phone (personal cell phone I may add), and kept me in the loop about everything.Going through a divorce is already stressful enough, you're lawyer shouldn’t add to that, which is why I'm forever grateful for John’s representation. I will 100% Recommend him to anyone!If you want an aggressive, efficient, and knowledgeable attorney, just do yourself a favor and use John. He is the best of the best, and is the DEFINITION of what an attorney should be.

We met John through a friend's referral, and he didn't disappoint. John is very professional and effective in his specialties. Besides offering legal advices, he was able to analyze personal situations from the client's point of view and leverage his wealth of experience to help his clients to achieve the best outcome. Responsive and trustworthy. Highly recommend!

I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the hard work John DeGirolamo at In Law We Trust, P.A. provided me. He was extremely professional and treated me with the utmost respect. Every question I had was answered quickly and efficiently. Every email and phone call was responded to in a timely manner with detail. To say I could not of had the result I had without him would be a dramatic understatement. My hat is off to John and I will forever be indebted to his service. Thank you very much!

The number of high quality reviews I read while researching divorce attorneys, particularly those specializing in alimony is what drew my interest, John didn’t disappoint. He was upfront, consistent and completely honest in terms of expectations.Responsive and always available, John on several occasions answered questions and addressed concerns late evenings and on weekends.Professional and courteous, the polar opposite of the opposing attorney. John made me comfortable and confident in an unpleasant situation, all while achieving results that were well above what was expected.If you are feeling out of your depth in this arena; make the right decision, trust the reviews/results and hire this man. He will be efficient with your time and effective in representing you.

Words cannot express my sincerest gratitude for John DeGirolamo, Esq and his team! From the consultation on day one, to the finalization of my divorce a few months later, Mr. DeGirolamo demonstrated the utmost professionalism and work ethic when it came to my case. Communication was superb as he explained the whole process, his strategy towards the end goal and responded quickly to any questions I had regardless of time of day. Personally, I find it rare for men to “come out on top”, as every situation and outcome is different. But I’m sincerely grateful for Mr. DeGirolamo and his In Law We Trust team, for my outcome would’ve been much different, more expensive and been in a different mental state had I gone elsewhere. If you’re shopping for divorce lawyers, especially Lawyers for Men, look no further. This is the only law firm you’ll need. There’s a reason why there’s a 4.8+ rating with the large amount of reviewers. Statistically speaking, you won’t be disappointed by choosing him to represent you.

John was everything I was looking for and more in an attorney. If you are looking for someone who will tell you what you need to hear and not just what you want to hear, he is it. He worked through my case quickly and had zero intentions of nickel and diming me to death like most other attorneys and he was more responsive to my texts than any one I know. It didn't matter how small of an issue it was, there was not one instance that I had texted him and he didn't get back to me within a few hours. He even returned texts on a Sunday and while he was out of town on vacation. If you are a guy looking for a great attorney, contact John!

Tampa Divorce for Men

So, what areas of family law can we help you navigate?

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.

Learn More

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

In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers helps clients obtain values for the assets accumulated during the marriage, including real estate, retirement funds, business interests, bank accounts, and prized possessions. 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. In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers is structured so that you will have access to, and be dealing with, a family law attorney for men, not an employee of the attorney. 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.
