From a young age, Ana grasped the emotional complexities of family law—not through textbooks, but through lived experience.
Her parents’ divorce at age 17 ignited a commitment to protect the interests of children and families navigating similar life transitions. That early insight, combined with her background in psychology and over a decade of legal experience, now defines Ana’s approach as a family law attorney: empathetic, thoughtful, and firmly client-centered with an eye on the big picture.
Ana represents individuals facing high-stakes, deeply personal issues—divorce, paternity, child custody, removal and relocation, modifications, enforcement actions, and contempt proceedings. Licensed in both Massachusetts and Florida, Ana provides clients with compassionate, direct guidance and a resolution-focused strategy designed to help them move forward with confidence and security. She also drafts, negotiates and advises on prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, ensuring her clients’ financial and personal interests are clearly protected.
Clients often arrive feeling overwhelmed by fear, grief, or uncertainty; Ana’s goal is to ensure they leave feeling heard, supported, and ready for the next chapter in life.
Secured Emergency Relief to Protect Children in a High-Conflict Custody Matter
Represented a father in an urgent custody case involving the mental health crisis of the children’s mother. Ana successfully obtained emergency relief to protect the young children and ultimately facilitated a comprehensive settlement through two days of mediation. The resolution was achieved with the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team, including psychologists, co-parenting therapists, business valuation experts, and appraisers.
Prevented Financial Collapse by Defeating Baseless Support Request
Successfully argued against an excessive temporary support request on behalf of a client whose business was facing significant debt and operational decline. Despite the opposing party’s demand for a 30% support award—based on inflated income projections and without legal justification—Ana secured a $0 temporary order. Her advocacy prevented the client from likely having to file for bankruptcy and preserved his ability to stabilize his financial future.
Negotiated Complex Prenuptial Agreement Protecting Multimillion-Dollar Interests
Advised a client with significant investments in alcohol-related ventures and early-stage companies on the negotiation of a prenuptial agreement. Ana skillfully protected her client’s assets while also addressing the future spouse’s substantial expectancy interest, valued in the tens of millions of dollars. The resulting agreement reflected the complexity of both parties’ financial landscapes and was tailored to safeguard long-term interests.
