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.
