Practice Areas

Even under the best circumstances, divorce and other family law matters are stressful. Much is at stake for accident victims pursuing a personal injury claim as well. If you are looking for a Boca Raton divorce lawyer or assistance with matters related to personal injury, or criminal defense, you can consult The Law Office of Jessica Mishali, P.A.. Our firm understands how important each client’s case is, and we are committed to providing responsive communication and dedicated advocacy.

Family Law

Family law matters include divorce, as well as related issues like child custody, property distribution, legal separation, and alimony. You can obtain a no-fault divorce in Florida, which means that you would need to show that irreconcilable differences caused your marriage to break down. Misconduct by either spouse can affect property distribution or alimony, even though fault is not the basis of the divorce. Florida is an equitable distribution state, which means that the judge may start by presuming an even division of marital property, but they will distribute the marital property according to fairness principles. A spouse needs to be a resident of Florida for a minimum of 180 days before suing for divorce.

Couples with young children will need to determine a timesharing arrangement for their children, as well as deciding who will have the authority to make major decisions regarding a child’s upbringing. If the spouses cannot agree, a judge will need to set up an arrangement that serves the best interests of the child. A divorce attorney can assist Boca Raton residents with negotiating a timesharing agreement or presenting their position to a judge.

Personal Injury

We assist victims who have been seriously injured in accidents by bringing personal injury lawsuits arising out of car accidents, slip and falls, or other kinds of accidents. We only represent injured people, mostly on a contingency fee basis, and do not represent insurers. Many personal injury lawsuits require a plaintiff to prove negligence. In order to establish negligence, you will need to show that you were injured because someone else failed to use the appropriate care. Establishing liability means that you may be able to recover damages for your pain and suffering, as well as your medical bills and lost income. However, you will need to act promptly in filing your claim to make sure that you preserve evidence and comply with procedural rules, such as the statute of limitations.

Criminal Defense

In addition to serving as Boca Raton divorce attorneys and providing guidance in other civil matters, we can represent defendants in criminal cases. If the police are investigating you for a crime, even if you have not been arrested, you should contact an experienced criminal defense attorney right away. Crimes may be charged as misdemeanors, such as petit theft or disorderly conduct, or as felonies, such as drug trafficking or rape. While felonies are more serious than misdemeanors, it is important to be aware that if you accumulate multiple misdemeanors, the penalties for offenses perpetrated later may be more significant. Moreover, there are different degrees of felonies and misdemeanors, and penalties may be different depending on the degree.
