Interview more than one attorney before you decide. For many women, divorce is their first, only, and most emotionally draining encounter with the legal system, so choose someone you trust, someone you are comfortable telling your story to, someone who responds quickly, someone who knows both the law and the day-to-day logistics of court, and someone who is able to clearly explain all of that to you. A strong divorce attorney explains the process with empathy, gives you a realistic timeline, and tells you what each stage will cost before you commit.

Client Testimonials
I’m grateful I chose WSM Law. Brandie, Annabella, and Zettie were incredible throughout the process. I picked them for their experience, and they truly delivered. They were professional, kind, and always took the time to clearly explain everything. What could’ve been overwhelming felt much more manageable with them by my side. Highly recommend this team!
I’m still in the middle of my divorce process but I have been exceedingly happy with Melissa throughout this ordeal. They’ve been exceptional in communicating with me, responding right away with any question or concerns that I’ve had. That is an invaluable quality especially when dealing with a messy/stressful divorce. I’ve felt extremely supported and genuine concern for my situation. I appreciate the ability to be having a great experience in these very hard times.
I was going through a bitter custody dispute when I reached out to WSM Law, and from the day I had my first meeting with them, I knew I was in the best possible hands. I was proven right again and again while working with them. Natalie was a fierce advocate: she was understanding and generously kind to me, a tough and strategic negotiator with my opposing party, and so incredibly knowledgeable and level-headed throughout the process. WSM Law’s passion for helping women shows in everything they do. I hope to never have to go through anything like this again, but if I do, I already know who I would call. Thank you to Natalie, Hari, and Katie, for everything. My kids and I are doing great, and I don’t think I’d be saying that if it weren’t for you.
I came to WSM Law after wasting 9 months of my time with Kenneth Kline. WSM Law was absolutely WONDERFUL. Natalie & Raegan were timely, professional, down to the point, and fought for me and my boys. Once I signed with them, my divorce was final 8 months later. I was extremely happy about the outcome, I got everything I deserved. Thank you, WSM Law!
I came to WSM Law after my divorce was finalized to help me with a custody dispute. I wish I had been working with them from the beginning. Natalie was like a breath of fresh air after my previous lawyer. From our first meeting I knew she would stand up and fight for me. She was the first person to take my concerns seriously and really listen. She made me feel supported and answered every one of my questions in a timely manner. When all was said and done, I feel like I got the best possible resolution that I could have. I truly appreciate her hard work and support.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How Do You Hire the Right Divorce Attorney in Your Area?
Why Do You Need a Firm That Focuses Exclusively on Women?
Because the legal system does not always take women’s goals seriously, a firm that represents only women knows how to change that. A woman’s priorities in a divorce are often minimized by courts and opposing counsel who are focused on other matters. Our attorneys know what matters to our clients and how to ensure the court, the decision-makers, and even opposing counsel accord those priorities the weight they deserve.
Do You Need a Lawyer if the Divorce Is Uncontested?
Yes. Even an amicable divorce is the dissolution of a legal and financial partnership, and the paperwork has to be right. Ending a marriage means dividing home equity, cash and retirement assets, vehicle titles, and your children’s schedules. A properly drafted decree ensures everyone actually gets what they think they agreed to, and that the agreement holds up if things become less amicable later.
Can You Modify a Custody Arrangement After Divorce?
Yes. Custody orders are always modifiable. The law recognizes that circumstances change, so if you want to modify your order, you need to show a change in circumstances that makes the current plan no longer in your children’s best interests.
How Are Assets Divided in a Divorce?
Every marital asset and debt must be identified, valued, and divided. In most states, anything acquired during the marriage is treated as marital property regardless of whose name is on it, and courts aim for an equitable division. That can mean splitting assets in half or requiring one spouse to make an equalization payment to balance things out. The exact rules depend on your state, which is why our attorneys explain precisely how the law applies to your situation and then fight for your fair share.
Do You Come Highly Recommended?
We believe our client testimonials speak for themselves. We go above and beyond because we know your life is being turned upside down. We are always a phone call away, and one of our primary goals is simple: the legal side of your divorce should be completely covered, so it is one less thing on your shoulders.

and Miami Scholars Fund
and Miami Scholars Fund
Sarah Lilly was the first associate attorney we hired. She took a pay cut to come work for us. Back then we were in a shoebox of a space and Sarah had to share an office with Katie. She took a risk on us because she saw what WSM Law would become. She believed in what WSM Law stood for. She was a brilliant attorney and a ray of light and strength. WSM Law is what it is today because Sarah believed in it.
In honor of Sarah and her passion for equal justice, WSM Law has partnered with HOPE to fund the “Lilly Fellowship” for equal justice. Each year, WSM Law will fund two HOPE applicants who express specific interest in women’s rights, domestic violence, juvenile justice, or other issues in line with both WSM Law and HOPE’s mission.
