My marriage dissolution was handled expertly and with care (did I mention addordable?). This military veteran highly recommends this firm for your family law need. I was extremely satisfied with the results.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!

The B.

It’s already hard enough to have to pick a lawyer for cases you’d rather be able to solve yourself. Then there’s the question of if the lawyer really cares. Rowland Boyd has represented himself and his team as amazing people and some one with my best interest in mind! Easy to talk too, understandable and forward looking.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!

Shannon I.

Mr. Boyd was professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him to anyone needing help with family law matters.

Ralph V.

I previously worked with Pinellas Family Lawyer and had the opportunity to work directly with Kathryn and Abigail on a daily basis. I have a great deal of respect for both of them, not just as attorneys but as people. They care deeply about their clients and approach family law with professionalism, empathy, and integrity. I would confidently recommend either of them to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

Attorney Collier was tremendously helpful and knowledgeable. She definitely saved me extra steps and explained the process thoroughly. Totally recommend.

dan D.

I had an excellent experience working with Abbey Walters at Pinellas Family Law. She was communicative, professional, and made things feel far less overwhelming during a very stressful situation. She explained things clearly, was organized, and I always felt like she genuinely cared about my case and my peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs family law support in Pinellas County.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words and positive review!

Mare S.

I am so happy I chose Pinellas Family Law to represent me in my case. Abigale Walters made everything smooth and easy. I highly recommend choosing this law firm to represent you in whatever situation you may need legal representation for.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review!

Sylwia W.

Attorney Kathryn Collier - Her professionalism, knowledge and dedication to her clients are truly impressive. She took the time to understand my situation and offered valuable advice. I'm grateful for her expertise and appreciate the time she took to assist me. Highly recommend! Thank you

Michelle D.

As much as it pains me to admit, I wish I had found Katherine before my ex-husband did. I lost my modification of final judgment, but I can honestly say Katherine handled the case with class, composure, and deep insight. She truly knows her stuff. What stood out most was not just Katherine’s expertise but also the professionalism and support shown by her legal aid, Ashley. Together, they were a steady, reliable team who provided clear guidance and an impressive level of preparation throughout the process. Even though I love my own lawyer, I can say without hesitation that in an alternate universe, I absolutely would have chosen Katherine and her team at Pinellas Family Lawyer. They are truly remarkable advocates.

Amanda E.

Knowledgeable and experienced attorneys who get the job done with integrity!

Jessica N.

Kathryn Collier is my attorney. She has helped me tremendously through a horrible experience. I have a ex that has tried for years to take me down. Causing damage to our children growing up. Never has tried to co parent and everything he does he turns around and makes it look like I’ve done that bad thing and then cries victim. I have reached a level of peace in my life and have a wonderful and amazing relationship with my daughter. She should grow up and be more than just an overnight and a number. She shouldn’t have to choose between her parents. Kathryn helped me choose a path that has made my daughter’s plans to become more independent possible and a parenting plan that works for both parties. she helped me and made sure my nerves were calm and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. She always made sure I was a priority. I couldn’t ask for anyone better. Patient, kind and so smart. She will forever be my go to if needed in the future.

Common Questions

St. Petersburg Family Law FAQs

Family law cases for St. Petersburg residents are handled in Pinellas County Circuit Court. The specific courthouse and division depend on the type of case, and we handle the filing logistics for you so nothing is filed in the wrong place.

Yes. At least one spouse must have been a Florida resident for six months before filing for divorce in Florida. Residency is usually shown with a Florida driver license, ID card, or witness testimony.

Florida has a 20 day waiting period after filing, so that is the minimum. Uncontested divorces often finish within a few months, while contested cases involving custody or property disputes can take considerably longer. How much the spouses agree on is usually the biggest factor, and we can give you a clearer expectation for your situation during a consultation.

Relocation can significantly affect custody and timesharing. Florida law has specific requirements for relocation cases, including notice and, in many cases, court approval before a move. If you or the other parent is considering a move, these issues should be addressed carefully and early.

In many cases, yes. Florida law allows modifications when there has been a substantial change in circumstances, such as changes in income, work schedules, or parenting time. Specific legal standards apply to each type of order, and we can review whether your situation qualifies.

You tell us what is going on, and we listen. We explain how Florida family law may apply to your situation, what the Pinellas County court process generally looks like, and what your realistic next steps are. There is no obligation, and you will leave the call knowing more than when you dialed.
