Welcome to the South Florida office of Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas LLP. Our attorneys are recognized among the region’s most accomplished practitioners, providing sophisticated counsel and advocacy across a broad range of complex matters in both State and Federal courts.

Appellate and Litigation Support

SSRGA’s Florida appellate attorneys have successfully handled hundreds of appeals in State and Federal courts, representing appellants and appellees in civil, criminal, family law, personal injury and administrative matters, as well as petitioners and respondents in original proceedings.

In addition to appellate advocacy, our litigation support practice works closely with trial counsel throughout every phase of litigation. Whether assisting behind the scenes or serving as strategic partners in the courtroom, our attorneys help shape legal arguments, preserve key issues for appeal and ensure that complex cases are positioned for success at trial and beyond.

Family Law

The SSRGA family law practice in Florida guides individuals and families through complex and often sensitive legal matters with skill, discretion, and compassion. Attorneys handle marriage dissolutions involving substantial income, business ownership interests, professional practices, investment portfolios, and complex marital asset division. We also represent clients in disputes involving child custody and parenting plans, timesharing arrangements, child support, and alimony.

We also advise individuals and couples on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, providing thoughtful guidance to protect assets and clarify financial expectations.

Private Judging

SSRGA offers Private Judging, an innovative and highly efficient alternative to traditional court proceedings. Led by James Martz, a retired Palm Beach Circuit Court Judge, this practice provides litigants and counsel an efficient avenue to resolve complex civil disputes through a private judging process allowed by Florida Statute 44.104. Decisions rendered through this process carry the same authority, enforceability, and appellate protections as decisions issued by Florida courts.

Private judging provides a powerful solution for parties seeking to avoid prolonged court delays while maintaining the integrity of the judicial process. Judge Martz presides as a private judge in family law matters and other complex civil disputes, delivering experienced judicial oversight and timely resolution.

SSRGA’s South Florida office provides a concierge-level experience, including flexible scheduling, streamlined case management, and access to a dedicated private courtroom in Boca Raton for hearings and trials. The process allows litigants and counsel to maintain control over scheduling while benefiting from the decisiveness and expertise of an experienced and respected jurist.

Trusts & Estates

SSRGA’s Florida attorneys counsel individuals and families on a full range of trusts and estates matters, including estate planning, wills and trusts, nursing home asset protection, Medicaid planning, and trust administration. We help clients protect assets, preserve wealth, and plan for the efficient transfer of wealth to future generations.

Our attorneys also guide clients through the complexities of Florida probate, guardianship, and trust law, while assisting families in resolving disputes among beneficiaries and fiduciaries.

In addition, we represent clients in contested matters, including will contests, fiduciary disputes, and claims involving the administration of estates and trusts, providing strategic advocacy when conflicts arise.

Additional Practice Areas

Our South Florida office also represents clients in Civil Litigation matters and Community Association Law. Our attorneys bring deep experience to each matter and are committed to delivering thoughtful counsel and effective representation tailored to the unique needs of every client.
