The Sarasota-based law firm of Kirk-Pinkerton represents clients in all areas of marital and family law, and can assist in a wide range of matters including:

• Dissolution of Marriage Proceedings
• Prenuptial Agreements
• Modification Proceedings
• Grandparents' rights
• Parental relocation

We are sensitive to the fact that families going through a divorce are frequently already under significant strain and hardship. We recognize that no two family law cases are alike and each client deserves to feel as though his or her matter is the lawyer's first and foremost concern. Our team prides itself on the open lines of communication which are prioritized in the handling of family law cases. We view our role in the process as one of having clients who are informed and in a position to participate actively in the resolution of their family law case, and Kirk-Pinkerton's family law professionals pride themselves on providing a concierge-type of service to their clients.

We will work to assist the client in reaching a settlement if it is in the client's best interests, but we are prepared to litigate when settlement is undesirable or impossible. When children's issues arise, including timesharing,  or parental relocation, we'll work with our client to analyze how the minor child's best interests will be met, and together with our client obtain a result that makes sense.

One of the goals in the handling of family law cases at Kirk-Pinkerton is to provide clients with an integrated approach. To this end, our team of dedicated legal professionals works with its family law clients, not only in resolving the family law issue itself and conducting the actual necessary litigation but, also, in the areas of real estate, taxation, wealth and estate planning, and business law.
