Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida — Miami-Dade County.
Miami divorce and family law cases sit in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida and run through the Lawson E. Thomas Courthouse Center. The market is dense with experienced family law counsel, mediation calendars are tight, and high-asset and high-conflict matters are the rule rather than the exception.

How the four bands work
Pricing reflects depth of review.
After the intake review, I assign your matter to one band based on case complexity and document volume. The attorney makes the band assignment, not the client.
Band A
Foundation
$3,500
Early-stage cases. Organized record. Low document volume. Limited conflict. Strategic question is about positioning before things escalate.
Band B
Active Case
$7,500
Active mid-case matters. Moderate document volume. Some conflict. Strategic question is about settlement posture, mediation prep, or next-phase tactics.
Band C
High-Conflict
$12,500
Complex or high-conflict cases. Higher-value disputes. More moving pieces. A major decision point or a sense that the strategy isn't working.
Band D
War Room
$19,500
350+ docket entries. Messy or contested record. Complex assets, multiple motion practice, high stakes. An expert attorney's full re-read.
Most clients land in Band B ($7,500). Band assignment is made by the attorney, not the client — and the $500 intake credits toward whichever band you're assigned.
