Parental Alienation Syndrome is a new name for an old problem. Regardless of what you call it, it complicates custody cases. I explore this topic in an article published by the Family Lawyer Magazine, which you can find here: https://familylawyermagazine.com/articles/parental-alienation-syndrome-newer-name-older-problem/

If you are concerned that the other parent may be trying to alienate your child, it’s important to find an attorney familiar with parental alienation to review your case. If you are interested in a free consultation, you can schedule an appointment by calling us at 727-322-2795.

Parental Alienation Syndrome occurs when a child rejects a parent without a reasonable objective basis. Whether it's called interference, manipulation, or parental alienation, it is a serious problem.

Covid-19 is still heavy on people’s minds, although a lot has changed since March. Earlier in the year, my article regarding Covid-19 Anti-Lockdown Rallies was published by the University of Johannesburg in South Africa in their publication, “The Thinker”, a pan-African quarterly publication for thought leaders. If you are interested in the article, which includes a list of nationwide anti-lockdown rallies, you can find a copy here: http://ow.ly/mBes50Cnl1j

ANNOUNCEMENT: 22 Lawyers Will Receive Florida Bar Pro Bono Awards In Supreme Court Ceremony Feb. 7

The Florida Bar will recognize 22 lawyers for their work on behalf of low-income and disadvantaged clients at a Feb. 7 ceremony at the Supreme Court of Florida.

Established in 1981, The Florida Bar President’s Pro Bono Service Awards are intended to encourage lawyers to volunteer free legal services to the poor by recognizing those who make public service commitments and to raise public awareness of the substantial volunteer services provided by Florida lawyers to those who cannot afford legal fees. Florida Bar President Michelle R. Suskauer will present the 2019 awards.

The awards recognize pro bono service in each of Florida’s 20 judicial circuits (with two honorees this year in the 11th Circuit) as well as service by one Florida Bar member practicing outside the state of Florida. They are presented annually in conjunction with the Tobias Simon Pro Bono Service Award, which is given by the chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court. Awards recognizing pro bono contributions also will be presented in the categories of Distinguished Judicial Service, Distinguished Federal Judicial Service, Law Firm Commendation, Voluntary Bar Association and Young Lawyers Division.

In the most recent 12 months reported, Florida lawyers provided more than 1.58 million hours of pro bono services to those in need and more than $5.8 million to legal aid organizations.

This year’s ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 7, at 3:30 p.m. at the Supreme Court of Florida. Watch it live at http://wfsu.org/gavel2gavel as well as on Facebook at www.facebook.com/floridasupremecourt.

Below are the 2019 circuit honorees.
