“I will work tirelessly to give you the best representation. You should accept nothing less than that.” – John DeGirolamo
As one of the most important and populous cities in Florida, St. Petersburg is naturally a focal point for family-oriented citizens. This is among the reasons it has been so important for In Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers to represent local husbands and fathers. The men of this part of Florida deserve to have professionals they can rely on to guide them at challenging times in their lives.
Meeting the Challenges St. Petersburg Men Face
Divorce and custody matters are always challenging experiences. However, it’s important to understand that the challenges aren’t always the same wherever you happen to be. So much of family law depends on geographical location. The husbands and fathers of St. Petersburg face some specific hurdles that those in other cities or states may not have to overcome.
Perhaps chief among these is the reputation local courts have for prioritizing women in divorce and custody cases. In legal circles, Florida is often referred to as the “mother state” for this reason. This is, of course, unfair and puts St. Petersburg’s men at a disadvantage if they aren’t represented by lawyers with significant experience navigating this system. Husbands and fathers’ cases should be based on their merits as caring and responsible people. In Law We Trust Divorce and Family lawyers have the skills and knowledge to ensure the correct standards are applied, rather than outdated perspectives some local courts may have about the role of gender in parenting and marriage.
This isn’t just a challenge that affects the division of custody, either. The fair and equitable distribution of business assets can be impacted by gender biases, too. Recent census data shows that around 73% of business owners in St. Petersburg are male. As a result, a court system that unfairly awards assets to female spouses might disproportionately affect local men who are entrepreneurs. It’s vital to collaborate with our experienced family lawyers that can help make certain you don’t improperly lose aspects of a business you’ve poured your talent and passion into.
Your Rights & Assets Are Worth Protecting
Services We Provide to Locals
Matters such as divorce and custody can be complex. As such, At Law We Trust Divorce and Family Lawyers offer men in St. Petersburg a range of nuanced but impactful services. These include:
Child Custody & Visitation
Arranging child custody and visitation is often one of the most emotionally taxing parts of the process. It is vital both for the welfare of the children and the parents involved that any custody plans are fair. We can help men in St. Petersburg to navigate this process and produce a legally binding custody plan that is driven by the best interests of everyone involved.
Equitable Distribution
While there is legislation in place for fair distribution of personal and business assets, achieving the correct balance isn’t always guaranteed. Gender bias, unscrupulous accounting, and other elements may all disrupt your ability to gain a settlement that accurately reflects the intentions of family law.

As such, we’re well placed to support St. Petersburg’s men through the process.
