FAMILY LAW

“Family Law” encompasses all legal issues related to families and people in domestic relationships. Our empathetic, experienced and compassionate family law attorneys will guide you through the entire process from start to finish. “Family Law” includes such matters as:

Divorce

Alimony

Child Support

Child Custody

The attorneys at BOURASSA LAW, P.A., are all Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediators. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which the parties have the benefit of a neutral 3rd party, (one of our certified mediators) to facilitate negotiations and assist the parties in resolving their issues without the need of seeking court intervention. The mediator cannot provide legal advice to either party or force a settlement on a party. Furthermore, mediation is confidential, and provides the parties with the opportunity to speak and negotiate freely without the fear that any offers of settlement made at mediation will later be disclosed and used against them at a later date. Mediation is an excellent opportunity for the parties to decide and resolve their own issues rather than having a Judge determine their fate. In addition to the self determination benefit of mediation, if the parties are successful in mediating their issues to full resolution, they avoid the expense and uncertainty of the court system.

It is important for both individuals and families to have their estate plans in place. Proper estate planning enables individuals and families to avoid the additional stress of having to make major decisions at the end of the life of a loved one. Proper advance estate planning simplifies the transfer of assets to the intended beneficiary, as well as relieves the family of having to make decisions for a loved one without the benefit of knowing what the departed actually wanted. Our attorneys are able to assist our clients in avoiding such a predicament.

Avvo Review

I was referred to Ms. Bourassa recently to handle my divorce. She stated at our first meeting she would handle the case and get it done the way I asked. She also is extremely responsive and actually returns phone calls. While at time I got excited and vented my needs during the progress of this case, Ms Bourassa remained calm advising me to to the same. She also advised me to simply let most of my demands lay, and get on with my life. Good advice, which I eventually followed. Don’t let Jaqueline’s soft voice and calm demeanor fool you, chances are if you follow her advice your case will resolve itself quickly and in the manner you wanted, mine did.

Jacqueline represented me in a serious civil ligation matter and got me a very good result. Her work ethic, knowledge and passion for the law is unsurpassed. I would use Jacqueline again and I recommend her highly to everyone I meet who needs a lawyer.

I had been looking to find a family law attorney to bounce ideas off of and I recently came across Jacqueline. After meeting with her on multiple occasions, I had come to realize that she is the real deal and has irreplaceable qualities that you only wish you could find in an attorney. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the field of family law and cares more about her clients than almost anyone that I know. Her warmth is contagious and I want to let anyone reading this know that she is a premier attorney.

Avvo Review

I was a client of Jacqueline’s on two separate matters. and I am a lawyer myself. One challenge for any lawyer is meeting the client’s expectations about returning calls and moving matters forward quickly. Jacqueline exceeded my expectations. She was very accessible and diligent. More importantly, she was effective. I was and remain very impressed with Jacqueline. I highly recommend.

Jacqueline Bourassa is an excellent attorney. I have recommended her to anyone who asks. She got me through my divorce and gave me advice that was both tough-minded and practical. She is very knowledgeable about the law and is always very responsive. She fought when she had to and negotiated when the situation called for it. She was able to get me what I wanted at a reasonable price.
