Family Law Attorneys Serving Fort Lauderdale
A Broward County divorce or custody case doesn’t run on your schedule — it runs on the court’s. Kalish & Jaggars works with Fort Lauderdale families who want more than a fast read on their case: a strategy they understand, built by attorneys already familiar with how the 17th Judicial Circuit’s Family Division actually operates. You won’t leave with a quote and a stack of paperwork. You’ll leave with a plan — what happens next, in what order, and why — laid out before fees ever come up. That’s the strategy meeting: listen first, explain the law, build the plan, then talk numbers.
The office sits in the Broward Financial Centre, on the southwest corner of Broward Boulevard and US-1/Federal Highway, one block north of Las Olas Boulevard. Family law matters filed from this office are heard at the Broward County Courthouse, 201 SE 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 — the Family Division sits on the 4th floor — a short drive from the office.

Why Choose Our Fort Lauderdale Divorce Lawyers?
A strategy meeting, not a sales pitch
Other consultations end with a quote. Ours starts there. You talk, we listen — no assumptions before we’ve heard your situation. We explain the law in plain English, build an actual plan, and only then discuss fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
Built around Broward’s courts
Broward County sits within the 17th Judicial Circuit, and family matters from this office are heard at the Broward County Courthouse. Understanding that circuit’s parenting-plan requirements, mediation procedures, and case-management timelines shapes how we prepare a case from the first meeting, not after it’s already filed.
Capability without the theatrics
High-asset divorces, contested custody, paternity disputes — Kalish & Jaggars handles the complicated matters, not just the straightforward ones. We do it in plain English, without unnecessary escalation, and in Spanish when that’s what a family needs.
