Every divorce presents its own challenges. Some couples can resolve issues cooperatively, while others such as contested divorce require court intervention. Our legal team provides skilled representation throughout every stage of the divorce process, helping clients protect their legal rights and future.
The firm assists with:
Florida follows the principle of equitable distribution when dividing marital property. Rather than automatically dividing assets equally, courts consider numerous factors to determine a fair distribution based on each family's circumstances. We help clients understand this process while advocating for outcomes that support their financial future. Once a divorce is finalized, the court issues a Florida divorce decree outlining each party's legal rights and responsibilities. Understanding the final judgment is essential, and our legal team remains available to assist clients with questions or future legal needs.
Facing criminal charges can be frightening, but an arrest does not determine the outcome of your case. Attorney Randolph McClean and Attorney Fernanda Cortes understand how much is at stake and are dedicated to protecting each client's constitutional rights throughout every stage of the criminal justice process.
Our attorneys carefully evaluate the evidence, investigate the facts, and develop defense strategies tailored to each client's circumstances.
Criminal cases require the government to meet a specific legal standard before obtaining a conviction. The burden of proof rests with the prosecution, meaning the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Throughout the legal process, the prosecutor presents evidence intended to support the criminal charges. At the Cortes Legal Group, we review that evidence, identifies weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and works diligently to protect each client's rights.
Whether the allegations involve misdemeanor offenses, felony charges, DUI, drug crimes, theft offenses, or violent crimes, the Cortes Legal Group is committed to providing aggressive and strategic criminal defense representation.

Yes. To request a free consultation, call (407) 800-3709. If you have documents like court papers, prior orders, or a notice to appear, have them available so we can identify important dates and next steps.
How is child custody (time-sharing) decided in Florida?
Florida courts generally focus on the child’s best interests when approving parental responsibility and a parenting plan. The details can depend on your family’s circumstances, including the child’s needs and each parent’s ability to provide stability and support.
How is property divided in a Florida divorce?
Florida follows “equitable distribution,” which means marital assets and debts are divided in a way the court considers fair under the circumstances, not automatically 50/50. The outcome can depend on factors such as finances, contributions to the marriage, and other case-specific issues.
Can child support or alimony be modified after the divorce is final?
In many cases, yes. A court may modify child support or certain types of alimony when there is a substantial change in circumstances. Whether a modification is available depends on the existing order and the facts of your situation.
What should I do if I’m arrested or law enforcement wants to question me?
Stay calm, avoid discussing the allegations, and ask to speak with an attorney. Anything you say can potentially be used against you, so it’s important to get legal guidance before answering questions or making decisions about your case.
Can a criminal record be sealed or expunged in Florida?
Some Florida cases may qualify for sealing or expunction, but eligibility depends on factors such as the charge, the outcome of the case, and your prior record. An attorney can review your history and explain whether you may qualify and what the process involves.
