Litigation is a scary thing… but KNOWLEDGE is POWER over fear! I provide knowledge, based on MORE THAN 29 YEARS of experience in family law matters, including divorce, time sharing, alimony and/or child support. My experience includes handling cases from beginning to end for hundreds of individuals that experienced problems just like YOURS.

If a fight is necessary, you have one best chance to present your case to a judge.  You need an experienced, knowledgeable and aggressive lawyer to guide you through the case and to fight for your rights.

However, not every case involves a courtroom battle.  Cases often settle before seeing a judge.  Cases often settle in mediation.  In those matters, you need an attorney that will explain to you the value of settling your case, and to help you evaluate when a settlement offer is a good one or a bad one for you.

For compassionate, experienced and reliable Brevard County and Melbourne legal services for divorce, custody, time sharing and other Family Law matters, contact the Law office of Ric Woodward in Melbourne, FL.

  • review rating 5  Mr. Woodward came highly recommended and I was very impressed with his knowledge, compassionate demeanor , and professionalism. He is well respected by fellow attorneys and judges. I hired Ric to handle a difficult child custody/child support case for my son, in which, there was never a marriage. The state of Florida has complicated laws when concerning child custody concerns when individuals are not married. Mr. Woodward not only put my son at ease, he was also able to do that for my grandchild's mother. Ric was able to bring this case to a conclusion that was in the best interest of all parties involved. If you are looking for an honest, fairly priced attorney, Ric Woodward is the man for you.

  • review rating 5  Mr. Woodward represented me in my divorce. He was always available when I had questions through phone or email.The retainer was reasonable and what I really liked is that he sent me a detailed itemized bill each month. This went through mediation and went very smoothly. He thoroughly reviewed all of my financial documents for completeness and accuracy. Hopefully I Never have to do this again but if I do, I would definitely Use Mr. Woodward.

  • review rating 5  Ric represented me in the hardest easiest divorce ever. He is a very detailed, tactful and diplomatic negotiator. He’s also a great litigator in court and aggressive to protect his clients. Ric is well versed in the science of people, he understands when to respond vs when to sit back. When the other party filed frivolous motions and requested hearings of the same he was a voice of reason for me. In those hearings he was as sharp as razor blade. I’ve seen him outshine two other highly rated attorneys through the 18 months that he represented me. He is well prepared! His legal advice is straight to the point and he sets reasonable expectations even when dealing with unreasonable parties. Everything he advised me he would do he did. He is as hands on as it gets and will prepare you for anything that is to come. You get what you pay for and Ric goes to work for you on day one. I highly recommend Mr. Woodward.
