Trusted Attorney In Orlando, FL With 20+ Years of Experience
Attorney Nicole Benjamin has spent more than 20 years handling divorce, child custody, probate, guardianship, and personal injury cases for clients in Orange County and across Central Florida. You'll know your options, what they may cost, and which path makes the most sense before you commit to anything.
Divorce Is Hard. Your Next Step Doesn't Have to Be.
Nobody walks into a divorce feeling ready for it. Even when you both agree it's over, there's a long list of decisions still waiting on the other side: the house, the debts, the retirement accounts, and how the kids will split their time between two homes. That's a lot to carry while you're still trying to get through the week.
Here's the part most people don't hear early enough: there's more than one way through a divorce. Some couples agree on most things and just need the paperwork done right. Others need someone ready to push back in court. Many land somewhere in between, where divorce mediation or a collaborative divorce can settle things for less money and less damage to a relationship you may still need for co-parenting.
Attorney Nicole Benjamin is a highly experienced divorce attorney in Orlando and has handled all three paths for more than 20 years, so she can tell you early on which one fits your situation and what it's likely to cost.
Ready to take that next step? Dial (407) 228-0337 and tell us what's going on. We'll help you figure out which path makes sense before you spend a dime on it.
Child Custody Help for Orlando Parents
Ask most parents going through a divorce what keeps them up at night, and it isn't the house or the retirement account. It's the kids. Florida courts call it parental responsibility and time-sharing now, but the questions haven't changed. How much time will I get with them? Who decides where they go to school? What happens if my ex moves?
Nicole Benjamin, attorney at law, has spent 20+ years helping Central Florida parents build parenting plans that actually work for their children, and she'll tell you honestly when a custody fight is worth having and when a mediated agreement will serve your family better. As a court-trusted mediator, she knows how to keep the focus where it belongs.
Worried about what custody will look like for your family? Contact our trusted child custody lawyer in Orlando today by calling us at (407) 228-0337 and talk it through with an experienced attorney.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT OUR FLORIDA LAW FIRM
Hurt in an Accident? Our Orlando Attorneys Handle That Too
A lot of people don't realize that the same attorney who helps Central Florida families through divorce also represents people hurt by someone else's carelessness. Car accidents on I-4. Falls at stores and apartment complexes. The loss of a loved one that never should have happened.
Attorney Benjamin is a highly qualified personal injury lawyer in Orlando who handles injury cases throughout Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, Brevard, and Volusia Counties, and she brings the same honesty to these cases that she brings to any family law case.
Before you accept an insurance company's first offer, she'll give you a realistic read on what your claim may actually be worth. Accident injury cases are typically handled on a contingency fee basis, so there's no upfront cost to find out what your case may be worth.
Not sure if your accident is worth a personal injury claim? Contact us at (407) 228-0337 for a free conversation about what happened.
When a Loved One Can't Speak for Themselves
Some of the hardest legal decisions don't come from conflict. They come from love. Maybe a parent's memory is slipping and the bills are going unpaid. Maybe someone you love just passed away, and now you're the one expected to sort out the house, the accounts, and the paperwork, all while you're still grieving.
Florida has a court process for each of these situations, and none of them are as simple as most people hope. A probate attorney in Orlando can guide you through settling an estate, including whether it qualifies for a shorter, simpler process. When an adult can no longer manage their own affairs, guardianship gives a trusted family member the legal authority to step in and help. And with estate planning, you can make many of these decisions now, on your own terms, so your family isn't left guessing later.
Attorney Benjamin will explain what your situation actually requires, so you don't pay for more process than you need.
MEET ATTORNEY NICOLE BENJAMIN
Attorney Nicole Benjamin started her legal career in Pensacola and has spent more than 2 decades practicing law in Florida, most of it here in Central Florida.
