Experienced Family Law Attorneys Serving Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Fish Hawk, & Beyond

Our Tampa family law attorneys at Harris, Hunt & Derr, P.A. understand how important family and financial security are, and we work tirelessly to provide you with the individualized and attentive support your case deserves. We know that no two cases are the same, which is why our team never uses cookie-cutter answers and purposefully limits the number of clients we take on to ensure each aspect of your case is handled with the utmost care.

With a wide range of expertise ranging from divorce and custody matters to prenuptial agreements, business valuations, and domestic violence injunctions, our attorneys and staff are on your side every step of the way.

When you work with our firm, you have access to a dedicated family attorney who understands the local courts and procedures in Hillsborough and Pinellas County, from the family divisions at the George Edgecomb Courthouse in downtown Tampa to the courthouses serving Clearwater and St. Petersburg. We take time to explain your options, the likely process in your particular court, and what to expect at each stage so you can make informed decisions about your future and your children.

How Our Tampa Family Lawyers Can Help

Choosing the right legal team can feel overwhelming when you are facing divorce, a custody dispute, or other major changes at home, and it helps to understand what working with us actually looks like day to day. From our offices in Tampa and St. Petersburg, we guide clients through each step of a Florida family law case, including filing, discovery, negotiation, and, when necessary, hearings in the local family courts. We focus on clear communication, so you know what documents are needed, how court deadlines may affect your schedule, and what options you have to resolve issues through mediation or litigation.

At the beginning of your matter, we will discuss your priorities, whether that is protecting time with your children, preserving a business based in the Tampa Bay area, or reaching a resolution that minimizes conflict with a co-parent. A family law attorney from our firm will then work with you to build a plan that fits your situation, which may include gathering financial records, consulting with valuation professionals, or preparing you for mediation at court-connected programs in Hillsborough or Pinellas County. Throughout, we remain mindful of both the legal and emotional impact of each decision, helping you weigh short-term stress against long-term stability.
