 Principal partner, J. Mark Maynor, is Board Certified in Marital and Family Law by the Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization. Board Certification is the highest level of recognition by The Florida Bar of the competency and experience of attorneys.

Additionally, a Board Certified lawyer has received favorable confidential peer review, completed 50 hours of continuing legal education within the three years immediately preceding application and passed a rigorous written examination demonstrating sufficient knowledge, skills and proficiency in the field of marital and family law.
