Deborah A. Cook, MSW, Esquire

My life-long passion is families. As a Marriage and Family counselor, I have provided help to families in conflict for over thirty years. After spending a ten-year period raising three children and caring for my way too young dying parents, I decided to go to law school after all the children were in college. I transferred my talents helping families to the exclusive practice of Family Law Matters. I love helping people become self-assured and take control of their life. I am an excellent listener and straight forward communicator- maybe too straight forward at times. I cannot tell you only what you want to hear. I must hear what you want and guide you through the statutes and laws of the state of Florida. I work hard for my clients in an effort to restore balance and happiness in their lives.
