Here is your documents checklist. We hope you find it helpful as you are representing yourself.
If you are struggling with understanding the whole court process, consider scheduling a coaching session with Attorney Keith Grossman. You can meet with Attorney Grossman at any time during your case for coaching and guidance. This option is "pay as you go" - no retainer required.
These coaching sessions can be online video calls, which is convenient if you don't live in Lee County, Florida.
You may also be interested in using Keith as your mediator. You can learn more about that option here.
If interested, contact us at 239-210-7516, email, or through Keith's online calendar
