Are you facing some problems with your marriage? Do you have any family problems where legal advice is required? These issues can be challenging to manage, especially if negotiations or family court proceedings are a huge part of the equation.
Family law is an expansive area of practice that deals with divorce, adoption, guardianship, and many others. If you’re dealing with these matters, you know how stressful it can be. This is especially true for those trying to navigate the legal system without a helping hand. So you must find reliable family lawyers in Florida who can guide you.
If you have family law matters, then Smith & Eulo offers the best legal counsel, specializing in Family Law. With our help and advice, you can find a solution to solve your case.
What is Family Law in Florida?
In Florida, Family Law means legal issues surrounding your family. Some examples are prenuptial agreement, paternity, alimony, emancipation, child custody, and so much more. It’s a complex part of the law, so hiring a specialized family Defense in Florida is the best course of action. They are the ones who will take care of any documents or paperwork that you’ll need during court proceedings when the time comes. Plus, they’ll defend your rights.
Family law is more than just taking care of divorce proceedings. They also handle child abuse cases, protective orders, and domestic violence. That’s why you shouldn’t think twice about asking for help from a reputable family defense attorney in Florida who can give you the best protection advice in issues like these.
The Role of Florida’s Family Court
The Florida Family Court offers a more comprehensive and specialized approach to dealing with all family law cases involving children and families. They ensure that these disputes are resolved in a timely, cost-effective, and efficient manner.
The court also understands that families with disputes must be able to handle and carry out their conflicts effectively and most efficiently as possible. It’s where most family cases are heard, and you must understand that its decisions are binding.
Areas of Service
The Main Family Court Jurisdictions are as follows:
- Marriage dissolutions (annulment or divorce)
- Child support
- Paternity
- Annulment
- Custodial care for children
- Name change
- Adoption
- Termination of parental rights
- Civil domestic, repeat violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual violence injunctions
- Emancipation of a minor
- UIFSA
- Juvenile dependency
- Modifications and enforcement of orders
- CINS / FINS
- Temporary or concurrent custody of minors by extended family
- Declaratory actions that are related to premarital, marital, or post-marital agreements
There are many others that the Florida Family Court handles. But we will discuss the most common ones further below.
The Most Common Family Cases
Family law cases are primarily civil issues concerning spouses, parents, and children. Some of the most common cases are as follows:
Marriage Dissolution
If you or your spouse wants to end the marriage, they can file a case at the family court to ask for a court order to end the marriage. It can be terminated either through annulment or divorce proceedings.
Paternity & Child Custody
If a man needs to be declared the child’s legal father, either parent can file a case at the family court asking to determine the paternity. It established that the man is the father of the child.
Protection Orders Against Domestic Violence
If you’re a victim of domestic violence, you can request a protection order against the abuser. It will give the abuser a list of things they shouldn’t do and must keep away from you.
Changing of Names
A child or an adult may request their name legally changed through the family court.
Guardianship
Guardianship is a part of family law, where the court determines who will be the legal guardian of an individual. It’s usually granted to individuals who cannot make decisions for themselves or care for themselves.
Termination of Parental Rights
There are specific issues where a parent’s parental rights over a child are terminated for different reasons, such as neglect, abuse, abandonment, etc. In cases like these, the court will terminate their rights as parents. And if somebody steps us to become a legal parent of the child, the court can grant it as long as they are fit for the role.
Emancipation & Approval of Underage Marriages
Teenagers under 18 years old who want to marry or emancipate to free themselves from their parent’s control can file for a petition and wait for the family court’s approval.
Juvenile Matters
If there are allegations of child abuse, child neglect, or minors participating in illegal activities, the family court will oversee all that. The District Attorney Juvenile Division primarily handles these. At the same time, the family court can grant work permits for children under 14 years old.
Benefits of Hiring a Family Law Attorney to Handle Your Case
Family law is a broad area that covers different types of cases. That’s why finding a family lawyer with years of experience is something you should consider firsthand. However, there are more important reasons why a family lawyer is necessary for your case.
- For divorce: Each spouse has lawyers who will represent them. They are skilled at negotiations and know how to devise a settlement plan that both parties can agree to.
- For child custody/support: Child custody and support are a huge part of divorce proceedings, which a family lawyer can handle. If there are changes in a parent’s financial situation, the court may alter the child’s support.
- For adoption: Adoption is a complex subject since it depends on the type of adoption you’re trying to apply for. Many other factors play a role, such as where the child is from, the laws in that state, and more. Therefore, a family lawyer’s guidance is vital for these problems.
Get Correct Legal Counsel from a Family Lawyer You Can Trust

They deliver what they promise
Thanks to lawyer Matthew ????
I had less than a week to prepare for my civil court case, and the law firm of Smith and Eulo acknowledged this and assigned the right staff (first, it was Ken (partner) and a handover to Mario!).
Mario quickly became intimate with my case and set us up for success by ensuring we were court-ready and presentable. Mario proactively provided updates as to ‘the magic’ he was conducting behind the scenes. If there’s one thing that I desire in a lawyer, it’s transparency and a partnership. Together, Mario and I eliminated assumptions and walked through every strategic move. We were always 2 – 3 steps ahead game.
I felt as if I was the only case they were working on
Mario and team worked late nights and worked their magic to re-open my case to include critical items that were missed the first time around, (i.e. gaining possessions of my belongings, compensation for missed days at work, coordinated retrieval of my belongings from an ex-partners residence).
My case was high conflict and high dollar, and this firm thought outside of the box to ensure * I * was awarded what I deserved.
Very dependable and awesome Family / Civil lawyer who dealt with my high dollar, high conflict case. Mario was knowledgeable and spoke legalize in terms I understood (I have no background with legalize, injunctions, etc.) Mario is knowledgeable, caring, and down to earth – however, he can be a bulldog, and execute critical matters in a timely matter – I felt heard, seen, important, and cared for.
Mario/ firm is consistent with transparency and status updates – big or small. Smith and Eulo et al. displayed and carried themselves professionally, and more importantly, focused on facts. Mario presented factual scenarios/circumstances which resulted in optimum results that benefited me and my case.
Mario is exceptional with his hard work ethic and his kindness in keeping me in the loop – we all know how stressful it is to deal with the law and how it’s out of our hands. Trust Mario to work his magic and be reassured that you’re on top of his mind.
Thank you Smith and Eulo for treating my case as if it were your own ‘baby’. And many thanks to Mario.
Ty’s professionalism and dedication to my situation were truly remarkable. Beyond being an outstanding attorney, he became a great friend throughout this process. His support and guidance were invaluable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. Thank you once again for everything. I am incredibly grateful for all your help.
back to us with our questions. Thank you so much.
I often found myself confused by legal terms, but Ashley consistently took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, addressing all my concerns. Her dedication to making sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the trials was truly invaluable.
I also want to extend my thanks to Smith & Eulo for their flexibility in offering a payment plan that fit my situation, which made this difficult time a little easier to navigate.
Thank you, Smith & Eulo, for your outstanding support and commitment. I couldn’t have asked for better representation.
Your situation. Never hesitate with this team. THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU! ????????⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am very grateful for all the help that attorney Luz Root and her wonderful team gave me unconditionally throughout the entire process, which had a completely successful result and even exceeded my initial expectations. They were in charge of answering each of my questions and explaining in detail all the steps to follow, always giving me a comforting feeling of security. Smith & Eulo Law firm is the best law firm I could recommend without a doubt.
I see a lot a good reviews from other people prosecutor have last minute witness I have to represent my self court he was quite even the judge said he can adment and request more time to be prepared and he stay quiet even calling the firm and Brenda hanging my call everything is recorded My ???? is Anibal Vazquez I signed with Bruce Lee Roistacher but I get disappointed they send me another lawyer Mr. Evan GARDINER didn't listen and did nothing about my case I have to speak in court for myself he already told me I going to get 51 months in jail for a simple accident the prosecutor editing videos police officer smoking inside the official vehicle tamping evidences and this Evan GARDINER got me in his office and said what you want me to do is obviously defense me from the injustice of LAKE CITY FLORIDA RACIST AND TYRANTS and Corruption I went to the hospital never get treated they doctor signed and next day getting out of jail when to ER with head trauma lacerations and x-ray in HCa Hospital lake City Florida I expect more from this Firm
She consistently missed deadlines for paperwork to be filed, she would not respond for days on end, and even emailed me an hour before I was set to appear in court to say it had been postponed, not having the decency to even call her client.
Our original conversation she told me her fees cost $4,000 for my first offense ever in my life which was a misdemeanor, and I felt she was inadequate so I moved on to other options. In the haze I was in from my mistake, I spoke to another attorney at the firm who charged me $3,000 and then ended up having me work with Marie.
I’ve now learned the service I paid for is more along the line of $1,500-$2,000 from others who have been in my situation and were thrilled with their representation.
Marie not only made me incur unnecessary costs, but she caused me significant emotional turmoil over the fear of not knowing the person I paid to represent me spoke to me verbally maybe 4 times over the course of 6 months.
The kicker is, I pointed out all of her errors to Smith and Eulo so they had a brand new lawyer show up to my last Pretrial conference who I met that day despite speaking on the phone twice before.
Either she didn’t want to do her job, or the firm knew she was in fact negligent with my case and tried to avoid a malpractice claim against Marie with the Florida BAR association. In the end I still ended with the conviction, so she failed to do her job.
Literally pick any other person than this woman, a duck from your local pond would do better.
Not only did she get all charges dismissed, she was very patient and understanding while putting up with my many questions and phone calls along with thoroughly reviewing the evidence on the clients behalf!
The client was being accused of something he did not do and he felt as though he had no voice and
would have to plead guilty to this charge.
Attorney Root went to great lengths to make sure his situation was understood and restored his faith in the justice system. She took the time that was needed to dive into this case and fight for her client!
She is very knowledgeable and is someone YOU WANT IN YOUR CORNER FIGHTING FOR YOU!!!
Thank you to Smith & Eulo, Attorney Root & Attorney Casagrande is an understatement.
If you are in search of a Law Firm you can trust you cannot go wrong with Smith & Eulo!
I recommend it..!!

His team of professionals were very knowledgeable, responsive and empathetic throughout the process, working diligently to ensure the result.
I appreciated their dedication and highly recommend them.
I recommend your legal team without hesitation.
Thank you
I appreciated their dedication and highly recommend them.
I ended up violating the program after I was Charged with Possession of Marijuana over 20 Grams which is also a third degree felony. I was facing a maximum of 5 years in prison for both charges. Darryl was able to get me a Withhold of Adjudication I plead no contest and was given probation with early termination for both the Gun and Weed Charges.
Darryl was easy to get in contact with and kept me consistently updated with each case.
Thank you so Much Darryl for your hardwork and patience throughout both cases!
Yes, I recommend Matt to anbody!!!!
I am happy with the care provided. I recommend them.

Their deep knowledge of the law and their strategic approach were key to obtaining a favorable outcome in my case.
I would not hesitate to recommend the firm to anyone who needs top-level Professionals.
Smith & Eulo Law Firm, they provided me with great professional service, defending my best interests and if you need a good law firm, you can trust them. Thank you
Excellent lawyers!! They give you security in every situation of your case.
We were facing an uphill battle and he got me across the finish line. Hiring him could have very well have saved my future in regard to seeing my children.
He’s extremely honest also which is why I hired him initially. He wont lie and tell you what you want to hear so you hire him. Right off the bat he’s transparent with the unpredictability of the court system, but let me tell you no matter what way a case twists and turns, he’s ready for it.
Honestly he made a really messy case look easy when all was said and done.
He’s always very kind and understanding. He gets that life isn’t easy, and will always pick up the phone or text if he can. He genuinely cares about the people he represents and provides a judgement free attitude that I feel many other lawyers don’t do.
Please if you need legal assistance stop right here and hire Attorney Matthew Futch. The firm is also extremely kind.
My children and I will always appreciate Attorney Futch. Thank you!!
So I recommend them. Thanks to the entire team.
They handle the complexities of the legal system with skill and provide unwavering support throughout the entire process. Through their efforts they achieved the best result in my situation. I highly recommend them.
At all times they keep you informed of the status of the diligence, committing to the client to provide a satisfactory result. I recommend them
Wonderful.
They are available to their clients, after hours and even on weekends, they are incredibly responsible and honest.
As a client I feel very well represented, I recommend them without reservation.
I recommend them for being a loyal and efficient team.
Their exceptional service and support are invaluable.
Excellent lawyers!! They give you security in your case.
team has done an exponential job. Special thanks to Darryl smith, who took the lead over my case and who also worked with me, which he was very attentive and understanding as well as getting the job done. I'm extremely happy with my end results and would definitely recommend this firm.
I recommend them.
100% recommended
Luz Root was the attorney I spoke with the most, they were very helpful and responsive. They were incredibly informative and got my case dropped in the matter of a week! Grateful to have stumbled upon smith and Eulo law firm.
I would not recommend this law firm. My son was convinced to take a plea of 5 years for a carrying a gun even though he had no prior convictions. Original charge was dismissed due to a witness came forward to confirm my son was defending himself against family members who were gang members. They really didn't do anything but file a couple motions, didn't fight for him. I had to push the issue for them make contact with the witness so that the previous charge would be dismissed. Attorney promised him being a minor he would be eligible to get out early by going to boot camp. He would request adjudication to be withheld. That was untrue. I've called him several times regarding this request and transcripts we should have received and to this date he has not called me back. But the most funny thing is my son's attorney Caleb for Eulo and Smith agreed Ms. Sykes had it out for my son although her so called victims admitted during deposition they were gang members. How convenient State attorney Alexis Sykes who was the S.A. on my son's case and has a history of sentencing
african american males more harsher is now an attorney with this same law firm there shortly after. I will never recommend this law office. And now I see why they insisted he take this horrible plea to only be placed in a broken system full of gang activities and continuing to fight to stay out of gangs.
We had a very good experience and attention...
Thank you
Sincerely,
Chanda.
Much love .
Mrs. Reininger
As the case moved forward, another attorney from the firm took on my representation. However, this period saw limited progress, though it's essential to clarify that this wasn't reflective of Ken's dedication or abilities, and that attorney has since left the firm.
In the concluding months of my nearly two-year-long legal ordeal, Mr. Matt Futch stepped in, and his involvement was nothing short of transformative. From the beginning, I sensed his genuine concern, deep knowledge, and commitment to my case. Matt is highly responsive and genuinely takes a vested interest in his clients' outcomes. There were moments when my situation felt overwhelmingly bleak, yet Matt tirelessly sought mitigation, achieving a resolution of no conviction, no jail time, and keeping me from the weighty "felon" label.
Matt was a Godsend, not just to me, but to my entire family. He might not realize the full magnitude, but he saved my life. With his guidance, I can now progress, focusing on fulfilling my purpose and being all that God intends for me in this world.
I cannot recommend Matthew Futch and the Smith & Eulo Law Firm enough. Their commitment to justice, combined with their deep care for their clients' well-being, has been my beacon during this challenging time, and I am profoundly grateful for their unwavering support.
Unfortunately I've had a hand full of attorney that won't respond to me and takes days if not weeks to hear back from them..stressing if they care or more less will fight for you..Alexis Sykes would respond within hours and not brush you off....she's a confident woman who knows the law and will fight for you..I can't explain how thankful I am to be apart of my family again.
Alexis thank you so much!
Had high performance expectations going in and was not disappointed.
Mr Messenger was on his A+ game and put in the work. Motions filed in a timely manner. Solid defense strategy. Will definitely hire this firm again if needed
Got to observe One of the other firm attorneys in court. I believe her name was Courtney and also was impressed by her performance. Well organized well spoken and direct.
Ken was all that one could ask for in a quality attorney. His dedication to his clients shows through his quick responses and empathetic nature. Ken resolved my case on no time! He cares about what he does, an awesome lawyer.
He saved our autistic son from a horrific long sentence.
Our family is forever grateful and thinks Ken Eulo is awesome.
If you need someone to defend you... this is your guy.
These attorneys care and have a heart in addition to being very efficient at helping to deal with the criminal justice system.
Our family has used is this firm for over 10 years and I highly recommend these attorneys.
Believe me my wife and I have received personal satisfaction and peace from the work that this farm that has to help people.
He projects such great confidence, but not arrogance, he took ownership in my problem, and engendered a belief that he will do everything possible to help me succeed, I fully trusted him every step of the way. Mr.Eulo not only knows the law, he knows the business too. He was always available for me if at anytime I had questions and would contact me personally to update me on my case.
Attorney Alex Smith Johnson is the absolute best attorney I have ever had represent me considering in the past I have had at least four attorneys represent me in other matters.My case was complex with life and freedom on the line.Other "lawyers" not only refused to take my case because it was extremely complex but I was given no hope and told "there is no way you will get this case resolved in your favor". Attorney Smith Johnson took the time to listen to my entire story without rushing me. He took the time to explain everything to me from the beginning to the end without all the fillers and fluff that most attorneys and law firms serve just to get paid.I like to call that type of representation "The Revolving Door Of False Hope Law Firm". With the "Set It And Forget It" attitude most Lawyers have towards their clients.I was being represented by a lawyer that cost me $50,000 that had 1,000 positive reviews or more.I fired that lawyer for attorney Smith Johnson putting my future and life on the line blind. Thinking back it was the best decision I ever made because even though my previous lawyer had all the good reviews and is considered the best of the best I am telling you right now that all went out the window because of the way my family and I was treated.
Ten minutes into my consultation with Mr. Johnson I could tell he had the experience and confidence to handle my case that nobody else would.I was treated like a human giving my family and I the realistic hope without the sugar on top we desperately needed.We had a good night sleep knowing my case was being handled professionally but most importantly knew in our heart Attorney Smith Johnson and his law firm actually cared about us and our case. If you and your family are looking for a real criminal defense attorney and you want Quality representation that you can trust I would put my life and name on the line highly recommending Attorney Alex Smith Johnson without a second thought or hesitation. You not only get a highly qualified attorney on your side step by step of the way but you get a peace of mind and to me that means more than anything. Alex you are the best my family and I wanted to thank you for everything. You gave us our life back. You are kindhearted but are equally as aggressive in the court room.That's not only hard to find but it's very much appreciated.You Sir were able to accomplish what everyone else said would never happen because they lacked the confidence and knowledge that you presented throughout this entire ordeal.
I wish I could give this Law Firm a 10/10 but sadly it only go's up to 5.You now have a client for life.If I ever need a criminal defence Attorney ever again or know anyone that needs one you and your Firm will be the ones we call on speed dial lol.
Robert is easy to talk to about tough issues and diligent to find solutions or honestly let you know when there is no solution. A compassionate, skilled and experienced attorney, Robert is a strong and relentless advocate for his clients.
Seeing the law firm take the time to make an impact in the community and support One Heart's mission was an incredible experience. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Smith and Eulo Law Firm! Thank you to your amazing team.
Thank you Ken
Please save you're time and money and months of uncertainty about you're future.
God Bless thank you again!
Glad he takes his craft that serious!
Mr. Smith-Johnson was both compassionate and effective in communicating his concerns regarding my legal problems. Throughout the entire legal process, Mr. Smith- Johnson assisted me in understanding what was happening every step of the way. In addition, he valued my feedback in wanting to help resolve my matter as soon as possible (It was if I was an actual lawyer as well lol).
If you’re considering who to choose for your legal representation, I would HIGHLY that you choose Me. Smith-Johnson at this law firm!
Ps. If you choose this firm my people let them know Henry Rivera sent you.
Hired the best!Its what is important their firm.,it’s not about them wining the case but also do it in a Legal and timely manner.Their clients come first n they do have a lot of compassion for his client .He explains to you step /step of what is going to happen and that calms you down and builds your confidence.
Mr Smith,his partner ,Mr Eulo and allstaff in their office,in the office only at aim at “one thing”getting their clients discharged and acquitted.THANK You to MR SMITH.
Normally being young could be a negative factor but in this case is the opposite because he can relate and apply his extensive knowledge to real life scenarios for the best outcome..
Trust them with you eye closed and they with open them with kind and helpful service ...
