Zenaida R.
I am an active member of The Florida Bar, having successfully passed the Florida Bar Examination in September 2023. My legal career spans over seven years, beginning with extensive experience as a law clerk, where I supported attorneys and developed a strong foundation in client-focused legal work. I focus my own practice on business and estate planning matters, including entity formation, corporate governance and compliance, commercial transactions, and long-term planning for individuals, families, and business owners. My estate planning practice focuses on helping individuals and families protect their assets, plan for incapacity, and ensure their wishes are carried out with clarity and confidence. I regularly prepare wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives, and related planning documents, and I take a personalized, practical approach to each plan—ensuring it reflects the client’s goals, family dynamics, and long-term needs while remaining fully compliant with Florida law.

Alexander H.
I have been licensed to practice law in Florida since 1999. My work has centered on a wide range of family‑court matters, including divorce, child support, custody, paternity cases, and prenuptial agreements. I also handle broader family‑law services such as Last Will & Testaments, Powers of Attorney, and property‑related issues such as Quit Claim Deeds. In addition to family law, I have extensive experience in consumer bankruptcy law, such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and advising clients on issues such as wage garnishments, bank levies, foreclosure defense, repossessions, judgment enforcement, credit card lawsuits, and debt defense tactics. I regularly guide individuals on qualifying for bankruptcy, means‑testing, exemption planning, and strategies to protect assets in divorce and bankruptcy. I developed the Family Law and Bankruptcy Law courses for a law school, and I am the author of Consumer Bankruptcy Law for paralegals and legal professionals, published by Routledge. I also teach business law, economics of law, and bankruptcy in both English and Spanish for an international university.

Matthew S.
I am a business, Internet, and intellectual property lawyer. My practice is split between both transactional work and litigation. Prior to law school, I earned a master’s degree in computer science, which gives me the background and experience to understand technology, software, and the Internet better than most attorneys, and so my practice focuses on these areas. However, I represent clients in almost any industry, including real estate, construction, medicine, service, and consumer products.

Employee Rights
Employment Agreement
Florida
Can a new employer ask for my last pay stub?
My company was recently sold but the new company kept the employees. Former won’t hand over our pay information. The new company has requested that we hand in our last pay stub.
Moxie M.
The National Labor Relations Act prohibits an employer from engaging in retaliation against two (2) or more employees who band together to for mutual aid and protection, including raising concerns about lack of pay details. See link here: https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/the-law/interfering-with-employee-rights-section-7-8a1 If the company has failed to compensate employees for work, it may be a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and/or the Florida Minimum Wage Act (if the employer and employee meet coverage requirements). Florida Whistleblower Act, Fla. Stat. 448.102 provides whistleblower protection for employees who are retaliated for raising certain concerns in the workplace: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0400-0499/0448/Sections/0448.102.html Finally, if employees have an employment agreement providing pay for their employment, they may have a contractual right to those monies at their pay.
Employee Rights
Noncompete Agreement
Florida
Noncompete agreement geographic scope?
I recently left my job of five years and have been offered a new position with a competitor. The new employer has asked me to sign a noncompete agreement. I am concerned about the geographic scope of the agreement and need to understand what areas it would cover, and if it would prevent me from taking a position with a competitor in another state or country.
Daniel D.
The Courts use a reasonableness standard determine if a non-compete is reasonable in time and geographic scope. It would be necessary to see the non-compete to tell you what it says, the areas it would cover and if it would prevent you from taking another position.
Employee Rights
Employee Separation Agreement
Florida
Employee separation agreement and non-disparagement clauses?
I recently left my job after working there for five years. My employer asked me to sign a separation agreement that included a non-disparagement clause. I am concerned about the implications of signing such a clause and want to understand my rights and obligations under the agreement.
Daniel D.
It is hard to say what your rights and obligations are under that separation agreement without seeing it as all agreements and the obligations contained within them are different and could impact you in various ways.
Employee Rights
Settlement Agreement
Florida
How are damages outlined in a settlement agreement?
I recently reached a settlement agreement with a former employer in a dispute over unpaid wages. The settlement agreement outlines that I am to receive a certain amount of money as damages, however, I am unclear on how these damages were calculated and if there are any additional costs or fees associated with the settlement agreement. I am hoping to find out more information on how the damages were determined so that I can make sure I am receiving a fair settlement.
Linda W.
Your questions are certainly valid and you are entitled to answers. And you should receive the information before you sign a settlement agreement. Some of the terms of which should be included in the settlement agreement, such as if there are any other fees or costs associated with the settlement.
Employee Rights
Termination Letter
California
Can my employer terminate me without providing a written termination letter?
I recently received notice of termination from my employer, but I was not provided with a written termination letter outlining the reasons for my termination. I have heard that it is a legal requirement for employers to provide a written termination letter, and I am unsure about my rights in this situation. I would like to know if my employer can terminate me without providing a written termination letter and what implications this may have for my legal rights and potential legal recourse.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry that you got this notice of termination. The law doesn't require specifically that any notice be in writing. There is some misinformation online, but the Department of Labor and Industries has laid out a comment on this - https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/TerminationOfEmployment.pdf I'm am very sorry about this+ and best of luck.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
